No, it doesn't need to be explained in English - it's already in English. If you translate the French as well, you're saying the same thing twice. Giving it two names in the same sentence, adaptive and dynamic chassis control, will confuse the reader.
A car manufacturer would choose one term and stick to it.

The term needs to be explained in English as well I found this: https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrJS9aLLlFe0VkAjXAM34lQ;_yl...

The Dynamic Chassis Control, also known as Adaptive Chassis Control, helps you adjust your driving experience by modifying the suspension for each of the vehicle’s wheels. Adjustments can be made in real-time in order to suit the road conditions, acceleration, steering or braking. This means, as the driver, you can operate in more than one running gear configuration, which includes components like axles, suspension, steering and brakes.

suspension

Réglage adaptatif du train roulant = adaptive suspension control system


How it works
To guarantee that the car can always adapt to the driving conditions, the Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) features electric adjustable dampers. Each individual shock absorber is connected to a control device which calculates the optimum setting for each individual wheel from the sensor data and other system information (e.g. steering, braking and driving assist systems) it receives. This allows the system to react within milliseconds to bumps in the road, changing lanes or bendy roads.

Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : Your answer says suspension, but your reference says chassis. I believe chassis is the only possible answer here - it's DCC, not DSC.

Hi Phil, if you read on you will see that it is referred to as "adaptive suspension control system". :)

(dynamic) chassis (control)

As with your question yesterday about cornering lights, they've given the French and the English in the same sentence. So you already have your answer!
