The C5 had a further development of Citroën's hydropneumatic suspension, now called Hydractive 3.
The major change with this system was the use of electronic sensors to replace the mechanical height correctors seen in all previous hydropneumatic cars. This allowed the suspension computer to automatically control ride height: at high speed the suspension is lowered to reduce drag and at low speeds on bumpy roads the ride height is raised.
Manual control of ride height was retained, though it was overridden by the computer if the car was driven at an inappropriate speed for the selected height.
