Abstract
A control system for a vehicle hydraulic suspension arrangement which has damping control valves for regulating fluid flow between parts of the suspension, comprises means for generating an electrical signal corresponding to the range of an obstacle in the vehicle path, and means responsive to that signal for shutting a selected damping control valve so as to resist upward movement, relative to the vehicle body, of wheels carried by a part of the suspension which includes the selected valve, whereby the ground clearance of at least the part of the body carried by those wheels is increased.
