BASIC PROCEDURES
50
Adjusting the Rear
Suspension
Base Models
The rear air suspension is pressurized
for general operation. If the vehicle load
changes (adding a passenger, riding
with more cargo etc.) or if a softer or a
harder setting is desired, the pressure
of the rear suspension can be changed
to your preferences.
The suspension pressure is adjustable
by deflating or inflating the air spring.
Use an air compressor (from a gas
station) and a pressure gauge.
To soften suspension, reduce the air
pressure and to harden suspension,
increase air pressure.
Note: The following chart is a guideline
only. You may adjust the pressure to
your riding preference as long as you
do not exceed the maximum allowed
pressure.
NOTICE Do not exceed the maximum
allowed pressure. This might damage
the air suspension.

Note: When adjusting the pressure,
do not put your weight on the vehicle
and do not load cargo in the storage
compartment.
The air spring is connected directly
to an air hose with a schrader valve
located under the seat.

To change the air pressure, proceed
the same way as for setting the pres-
sure in a tire.
When finished, ensure to reinstall cap
on the valve.
Limited Models
The rear suspension is calibrated for
a general riding and will adjust auto-
matically, using an integrated compres-
sor, while riding to maintain this preset
when the road conditions change or if
the vehicle load changes (adding a pas-
senger, riding with more cargo etc.).
Note: It is normal to hear pressure
release or the air compressor operating
while engine is running. It indicates the
suspension is self-adjusting.
Using the Audio in Jack
An audio input jack is provided in the
glove box.
