A control system (300) for controlling an active suspension system (104) of a vehicle (100), the control system comprising one or more controller (301), wherein the control system is configured to: detect (1004) a ramp (202) approached by an overhang of the vehicle; and in dependence on detecting the ramp, control (1020) the active suspension system to modify a relative ride height between a leading ride height at a set of leading wheels (FL, FR) of the vehicle and a trailing ride height at a set of trailing wheels (RL, RR) of the vehicle, to increase a ramp angle (α, β) of the vehicle relative to the ramp; and wherein the control system may be configured to determine whether the vehicle is in a towing condition, and if so the ramp angle is not increased, and optionally a warning signal is generated in dependence on the vehicle being in a towing condition.
