1972 Citroen SM Suspension

A marvellous car!

[@autosnob]

Thank you. I agree!

[@albertofaucci1599]

Can it also be done while in motion? Or only when the car is standing?

[@abbush2921]

Can this be done on the fly ?

[@stoneylonesome4062]

Adjusting the ride height? Yes, it’s controlled by a lever on the floor beside the driver’s seat.

[@silkdestroyer]

It can, but you would only ever want to if there was a minor flood to cross or some rough ground, in which case you would select the highest setting. And, while in that position, there is no suspension travel, so it would be slow speed only. You wouldn't drive it in any position except for the normal driving one.

[@autosnob]

As other pointed out, it's an on-the-fly adjustment by simply moving the lever into 1 of 5 positions at the base of the seat. Positions 2 - 4 can be used for normal driving.

[@autosnob]

There's 5 positions and positions 2 - 4 can be used for normal driving.

Citroen XM is better 😊

[@silkdestroyer]

That's like saying that an apple is better than a carrot.

[@mehrzahl2219]

I'd rather have this incredible spaceship.

[@silkdestroyer]

And I do have a CX, 2 XMs, (one diesel, one petrol,) and an SM.

[@autosnob]

Well I owned a XM and a CX. And I wouldn't say there's a "Better" choice, they are just all very different. The XM was perhaps the most conventional of all the Citroens I've owned.
