Hi

Looking for more info about my DS7, wondering if someone could decode vin number

Vin - VR1**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Thank you,

[GiveMeABreak]

Sorry, but at the present time we don't provide technical documents for the DS-branded vehicles.

[super8]

Understood, thanks for replay, I was hoping to get some more info regaridng my car, DS Automobiles is a new brand in ireland and has only just opened its showroom last year, so to get any info from them is bit dificult.

When it comes to equipment versions, I have 19 reg 1.6 Purtech 180 in Rivoli, does this version have as standard DS Active Sacan Suspension?

[GiveMeABreak]

I can't be sure, you'll have to ask the dealer because the Rivoli was introduced at about this time.

For 2022 I know it was standard for the Rivoli & Opera models, specifically on PureTech 180 and PureTech 225 versions.

[super8]

Thanks, would be any indication on dash board? when changing to comfort mode I can for sure feel diferent,

[Sloppysod]

Thought I'd add this as I didn't know what is was so had to "Google" it, well not Google (Bing) but same thing.
"DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION This intelligent suspension system uses a camera located at the top of the windscreen as well as several sensors to scan imperfections in the road in real time. It transmits this data in milliseconds to a computer which acts on each of the wheels independently."

Sounds clever
Any good?

Sure, but the question was whether the car is equipped with it

[GiveMeABreak]

I think it will have been for this model as it was part of the new line up from 2019 on.

Easy way to tell is if you have a 'DRIVE MODE' button present on the central console (next to ECO and SPORT ECO). This is the button you use to adjust the driving mode for everything including the suspension

[super8]

I have Drive Mode button, so I can asume its equiped with thanks help,

[MattBLancs]

I wondered what it was doing with the data sent to each wheel (and if was a new variant of Citroen's hydropneumatic)

It uses a stereoscopic camera, mounted on the windscreen to scan the road for up to 20 metres ahead, identifying any irregularities of more than 10mm. This information – combined with a range of sensor data, including speed, acceleration and steering angle – is sent to a control unit that works out the optimum damper settings to mitigate the disturbance. A motorised solenoid valve on each damper is then used to adjust the flow of oil between the upper and lower chambers, giving individual control of both the bump and rebound responses on all four wheels

Or "active damping"

https://www.theengineer.co.uk/content/i ... crossback/

(So not a potential source of bits to keep a hydropneumatic Citroen going then, oh well! )

Can't help but wonder what the camera/ suspension would make of a lumpy grassed field? (I.e. with a multitude of visible things over 10mm high, but none having a bearing on what the wheels would run on!

Interesting stuff

[GiveMeABreak]

It uses the following Matt:

4 Body height sensors
3 Accelerometer sensors
2 Front controlled shock absorbers
2 Rear controlled shock absorbers
1 Steering wheel angle sensor
1 Multifunction video camera
1 Variable damping control unit

These components are linked to a variable damping suspension computer and this in turn is linked to the BSI, the Engine ECU, the ESP system. On DS7 models with the sensory pack (forget the name now), selecting a driving style also changes the suspension characteristics.

It's not Hydropneumatic and isn't self-levelling as those days are truly gone with the X7

However despite being a slight myself, it's truly scary what is on these DS7s to be honest in terms of tech and unless you have just robbed Fort Knox, or are Elon Musk, I wouldn't want the repair bills when any of the tech packs up!

Sounds a bit like the C6 AMVAR system but without the fancy camera.

[GiveMeABreak]

Just modified controlled dampers but no hydractive with hydraulics like the X7 or C6.

I think the Audi TT used electronics to change the particles in the damper fluid to stiffen or soften the damper IIRC years ago.

Thank you for that information, I'm not realy sure what what you mean by ''outstanding quality campaign''
