Towing A Trailer; Level Control - Cadillac 2002 Escalade Owner's Manual

Level Control

The automatic level control rear suspension comes as a
t
part of the Autoride suspension. See "Autoride" in the
Index for more information.
This type of level control is fully automatic and will
provide a better leveled riding position as well as better
handling under a variety of passenger and loading
conditions. An air compressor connected to the rear
shocks will raise or lower the rear of the vehicle to
maintain proper vehicle height. The system is activated
when the ignition key is turned to RUN and will
automatically adjust vehicle height thereafter. The
system may exhaust (lower vehicle height) for up to ten
minutes after the ignition key has been turned to OFF.
You may hear the air compressor operating when the
height is being adjusted.
-
If a self equalizing hitch is being used, it is
recommended to allow the shocks to inflate, thereby
leveling the vehicle prior to adjusting the hitch.
