Adjusting the damping setting
Positioning adjusting knobs
There are four adjusting knobs, two for the front shock absorbers and two for the rear ones. The adjusting knobs are located above each wheel. The adjusting knobs for the front wheels are located under the bonnet. The adjusting knobs for the rear wheels are located above each wheel in the wheel housing.
Note
Adjusting the damping setting, front
Make sure the adjusting knob is set to position 0 before commencing adjustment. This makes it easier to know which adjustment position has been set.

Turn the control counterclockwise to select the preferred adjustment position. The adjustment modes are defined with audible clicks that can be felt.
