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.

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.

To access the front adjuster knobs, it is sufficient to angle the wheel until the shock absorber becomes visible. To access the rear adjuster knobs, loosen the wheel housing's wing liner and raise the car to an appropriate height, use a jack for example, see separate section.
