Adjustable shocks control location?
I'm in the process of acquiring a low mileage 2004 C5 convertible. I don't have any paperwork yet. I got 2 minutes to look at the interior yesterday and grab the VIN to confirm it's not in the bad fuel tank range (it isn't). I'm trying to confirm that this car DOES NOT have the F55 adjustable shocks. Where is the control for this feature? I would assume it would be near the Active Handling control on the center console. I didn't see any other controls anywhere near the Active Handling control. Am I looking in the right place?
Also, how can I determine if it has sport seats vs. standard seats?

The F45/F55 control was a three way selector (F45) or two way selector (F55) recessed into the traction control panel right in front of the center console armrest.

Sport seats have an opening just below the head rest. Standard seats do not.

Thanks. Nothing except the traction control in that location (no F55, thankfully). It has the sport seats because there is an opening under the headrest. I hope the owner has the original window sticker. If not, did I read correctly somewhere that the options are coded on a sticker in the glovebox?

RPO sheet should be inside the glove box, yes.
