Ride level adjustable as standard on 4.6is & 4.8is only........rare option on yours afaik.

The ride Hight can be adjusted with our diagnostic system we use

As STD the Hight adjustment is done by the level sensors on the car

I am interested in buying a 4.6iS and so this saying that the ride level is adjustable is new to me. How do you adjust it ? should this be something I should be checking when looking to purchase one ?

If you cant find the switch (its quite obvious) then you you have rear leveling only. Chances are the bags are leaking and or the pump / level sensors are shot. My money is on the bags which typicaly have a life of about 8 years + -
