Adjusting lid
Note
♦
Vehicle must be standing on the ground to perform the basic
adjustment of the rear lid.
♦
The rear lid lock is bolted directly to the rear lid. It does not
have elongated holes, so it cannot be adjusted.
♦
Adjusting buffers cannot be used to adjust rear lid as they are
in some other vehicles. They have the function of stabilising
and damping the rear lid.

steps.
