Abstract

A vehicle suspension system includes a cylinder device, provided between a vehicle body member and a vehicle wheel member for the vehicle body member, in which suspension characteristics are changed by controlling hydraulic fluid supply for the cylinder device. A vehicle height displacement detecting device detects a vehicle height displacement, and a vehicle height control device receives a signal from the vehicle height displacement detecting device to control the hydraulic fluid supply for the cylinder device to thereby obtain a target vehicle height displacement in accordance with a height control sensitivity. A sensitivity change device changes the height control sensitivity in accordance with a predetermined condition so as to change the supply of the hydraulic fluid for the cylinder device. A warp control cooperate and a height control are optimized.
