214 Drive Control SystemsContinuous Damping Control 3(CDC)CDC adapts vehicle damping to the currentdriving situation and road conditions.The system continually monitors wheel andvehicle movements and immediatelymodifies the damping of each shockabsorber. Chassis calibration is optimallyadapted to the driving situation and roadconditions.When SPORT mode is engaged, thedamping control is adapted to a sportierdriving style ("harder" chassis setting).SPORT mode - see right column. Control indicator IDS+ for ContinuousDamping ControlIlluminates for approx. 10 seconds afterthe driver’s door is opened. If it illuminateswhile driving, there is a fault in the system.The system is not operational. For reasonsof safety "harder" chassis calibration willbe activated. Have the cause of the faultremedied. We recommend that you consultyour Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Thesystem’s integrated self-diagnostics allowsfaults to be quickly remedied.SPORT mode 3SPORT mode is used to changedamping 3, steering 3 , throttleapplication 3 and the shift point forautomatic transmission 3 andEasytronic 3 while driving.Damping and steering become more directand provide better contact with the roadsurface. The engine reacts more quickly toaccelerator movements.For automatic transmission 3 andEasytronic 3, the shift times are reducedand gearchanges occur at a higher enginespeed (except when cruise control is on).
