INSPECT VEHICLE HEIGHT
1. Inspect the vehicle height (see ADJUSTMENT ).
  NOTE: The possible vehicle height automatic adjustment value is 20 mm. If the "Height Adjust value + (Standard value - Measurement value - After Height Adjust value)" is 20 mm or more, first perform the standard vehicle height adjustment (height control link adjustment)
ADJUST HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR LINK SUB-ASSEMBLY (for Front)
NOTE:
- First adjust the height control sensor link that has the highest deviation from the standard value.
- If the deviation of the front and rear link is the same, adjust the front link first.
1. Loosen the 2 lock nuts on the height control sensor link.
2. Turn the bolt of the height control sensor link to adjust the length.
  HINT:
  - If raising the vehicle height, lengthen the link.
  - If lowering the vehicle height, shorten the link.
  - Turning the bolt of the height control sensor link 1 revolution changes the vehicle height by about 7.3 mm (0.287 in).
