1500 Air Suspension System - Dodge RAM 1500 User Manual

1500 AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM

The air suspension system provides full time load leveling capability along with the
benefit of being able to adjust vehicle height by the push of a button.
Automatic height changes will occur based on vehicle speed and the current vehicle
height. The indicator lamps and EVIC/DID messages will operate the same for
automatic changes and user requested changes.
Description
Normal Ride Height (NRH) - This is the
standard position of the suspension and
is meant for normal driving.
Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle ap-
proximately 1 in (26 mm) - This position
should be the primary position for all
off-road driving until Off Road 2 (OR2) is
needed. A smoother and more comfort-
able ride will result. To enter OR1, press
the "Up" button once from the NRH
position while the vehicle speed is below
35 mph (56 km/h). When in the OR1
position, if the vehicle speed remains
between 40 mph (64 km/h) and 50 mph
(80 km/h) for greater than 20 seconds or
if the vehicle speed exceeds 50 mph
(80 km/h), the vehicle will be automati-
cally lowered to NRH. Off-Road 1 may not be available due to vehicle payload, an
EVIC/DID message will be displayed when this occurs. Refer to "Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)/Driver Information Display (DID)" in "Understanding Your
Instrument Panel" in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Off-Road 2 (OR2) (Raises the vehicle approximately 2 in (51 mm) - This position is
intended for off-roading use only where maximum ground clearance is required. To
enter OR2, press the "Up" button twice from the NRH position or once from the OR1
position while vehicle speed is below 20 mph (32 km/h). While in OR2, if the vehicle
speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h) the vehicle height will be automatically lowered to
OR1. Off-Road 2 may not be available due to vehicle payload, an EVIC/DID message
will be displayed when this occurs. Refer to "Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)/Driver Information Display (DID)" in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel"
in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
