Adjusting the suspension

You can adjust your vehicle's suspension manually using the adjustment knobs located above each wheel.

Use the adjustment knobs to adjust your vehicle's suspension settings. There is an adjustment knob for each wheel's suspension.

Location of the front wheels' suspension adjustment knobs
The front wheels' suspension adjustment knobs are located under the hood.
Location of the rear wheels' suspension adjustment knobs
The rear wheels' suspension knobs are located above the corresponding rear wheel in the wheel housings.

Each suspension adjustment knob has a number of setting positions. The lower the number you select, the firmer the suspension.

The recommended positions are:
Performance positionAdjustment position 4
Dynamic positionAdjustment position 10
Comfort positionAdjustment position 15

 Important

Volvo recommends using the same suspension setting for all four wheels.

Volvo only accepts responsibility for the recommended suspension positions.

Adjust the suspension one wheel at a time.

 Note

Your vehicle must be raised using a jack to access the rear wheels' suspension adjustment knobs. Be sure to read about jack mode in a separate section of the user manual before using a jack.
