Claims2
A system to select and implement a suspension tune, said system comprising:
- a memory configured to store a plurality of suspension tunes;
- a suspension controller configured to implement one of said plurality of suspension tunes for at least one suspension component of a vehicle;
- and
- a manually operated switch to receive a user input, said manually operated switch configured to navigate between said plurality of suspension tunes, and, based on said user input, designate a different one of said plurality of suspension tunes to be implemented by said suspension controller, wherein said manually operated switch comprises:
- a plurality of modes, each mode of said plurality of modes tied to a position of said manually operated switch;
- wherein said manually operated switch is programmable by a user of said system, such that said one of said plurality of suspension tunes corresponding to a position of said manually operated switch is adjustable by said user;
- and
- a database to link each of said plurality of modes with a different one of said plurality of suspension tunes stored in said memory configured to store said plurality of suspension tunes.
