Automatic ride control uses a computer to change how the suspension responds to road conditions by adjusting the damping of the shock absorbers. By varying damper stiffness in response to speed, bumps, and load, the system keeps the ride smooth while maintaining control. Tire pressure is set by the tires and inflation systems, steering angle comes from the steering system, and the suspension cradle position is a fixed mounting point, not something the ride control actively changes.
