Other Adjustments
Adjusting the suspension requires a pin spanner. We recommend that you have your vehicle serviced by your dealer.
Spring Preload
You can adjust the spring preload by the adjuster to suit the load or the road surface.
Turn the adjuster using the pin spanner.
The preload adjuster has 10 positions.
Position 1 is for a decrease spring preload (soft), or turn the position 3 to 10 increase spring preload (hard). The standard position is 2.
