Active Damper System Active Damper System Indicator If there is a problem with the active damper system, the active damper system shuts down and the active damper system indicator on the instrument panel comes on. If you see this warning indicator and message, have your vehicle checked at your dealer as soon as possible. In this case, your vehicle still has the normal damper function, but it will not have the active damper function. When sport mode is selected, the green indicator in the button goes off, and the message ''SPORT'' will appear on the multi-information display for five seconds. You will also see the ''CHECK ADS SYSTEM'' message appear on the multi-information display. 486
