7. Install the wheels and tires.
8.
CAUTION:
Failure to follow this instruction may lead to brake warning lamps and
Diagnostic Trouble Code(s)
(DTC) being set.

The adaptive shock absorbers are nitrogen gas and oil filled monotube units.
The shock absorbers are continuously
variable, which allows the damping force to be electrically adjusted when the
