Brake Assist

Your vehicle is equipped with a
brake assist feature. During a hard
brake application, the system
automatically delivers extra
braking pressure to the wheels and
activates the antilock brake
system.
You may feel some vibration or
hear a noise when the system is
active. The brake pedal may move
slightly. This is normal.
Just hold the brake pedal down
firmly and let the system work for
you.
The brakes will return to normal
operation when the brake pedal
is released or pedal pressure
decreases rapidly.

■ SUSPENSION

The suspension system in your
vehicle is designed to provide a
smooth and controlled ride.

Automatic Level Control

This rear suspension level control
system automatically adjusts your
ride and handling under a variety
of vehicle load conditions.
The system is fully automatic.
Once the ignition is turned to ON,
an air compressor connected to
the rear shocks will automatically
raise or lower the rear of the
vehicle to maintain proper vehicle
height while you drive.
Section 3
When the ignition is turned to
LOCK, it may take up to ten
minutes for the system to lower
the vehicle.
It is normal to hear the compressor
operate as vehicle height is being
adjusted.
If a weight-distributing hitch is
being used, it is recommended
that you allow the system to level
the vehicle prior to adjusting the
hitch.
