Location of adjuster knobs

There are four adjuster knobs, two for the front shock absorbers and two for the rear. The adjusting knobs are located by each wheel. All dampers are adjustable for the total damping level.

For the front wheels, the adjusting knobs are located in the bottom of the shock absorber, close to the wheel. For the rear wheels, the adjuster knobs are located above each wheel in the wheel housing.

The front shock absorbers are also equipped with separate compression adjustment1 whose adjuster knobs are located on the gas cylinders fitted in the front cargo area.

To access the front adjuster knobs, it is sufficient to angle the wheel until the shock absorber becomes visible. To access the adjuster knobs at the rear, the wheel housing liner must be loosened and the car raised, for example with a jack, see separate section.
