exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h), the vehicle will be
automatically lowered to NRH. Off-Road 1 may not
be available due to vehicle payload, an instrument
cluster message is displayed when this occurs
page 104.
●
Normal Ride Height (NRH) – This is the standard
position of the suspension and is meant for normal
driving.
●
Aero Height (Lowers the vehicle approximately 0.6
inch [15 mm]) – This position provides improved
aerodynamics by lowering the vehicle. The vehicle
will automatically enter Automatic Aero Mode when
the vehicle speed remains between 62 mph (100
km/h) and 66 mph (106 km/h) for greater than 20
seconds or if the vehicle speed exceeds 66 mph
(106 km/h). The vehicle will return to NRH from Aero
Mode if the vehicle speed remains between 30 mph
(48 km/h) and 35 mph (56 km/h) for greater than
20 seconds or if the vehicle speed falls below 30
mph (48 km/h).
To enter Aero Height manually push the height
selector switch down once from NRH at any vehicle
speed. To return to NRH push the height selector
switch up once while vehicle speed is less than 56
mph (90 km/h).
●
Entry/Exit Height (Lowers the vehicle approximately
2 inches [51 mm]) – This position lowers the vehicle
for easier passenger entry and exit as well as
lowering the vehicle for easier loading and unloading
of cargo. To enter Entry/Exit Height Mode, push the
height selector switch down twice from NRH while
the vehicle speed is below 4 mph (7 km/h). If the
vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), the vehicle
will raise to Default Ride Height (Normal or Aero).
NOTE:
Entry/Exit Height may be achieved using the Remote
Lowering feature on your key fob for easier entry/
ð
loading.
CAUTION!
When in Entry/Exit Height, be aware of your
surroundings, you may not have the clearance
required for certain areas and vehicle damage
may occur.
The system requires that the ignition be in the ON/RUN
position or the engine running for all user requested
changes. When lowering the vehicle, all of the doors
must be closed. If a door is opened at any time
while the vehicle is lowering, the change will not be
completed until the open door(s) is closed.
This system uses a lifting and lowering pattern which
keeps the headlights from incorrectly shining into
oncoming traffic. When raising the vehicle, the rear of
the vehicle will move up first and then the front. When
lowering the vehicle, the front will move down first and
then the rear.
After the engine is turned off, it may be noticed that the
air suspension system operates briefly; this is normal.
The system is correcting the position of the vehicle to
ensure a proper appearance.
To assist with changing a spare tire, the air suspension
system has a feature which allows the automatic
ð
leveling to be disabled
Default Ride Height:
●
Select Aero Height or Normal Ride Height as the
default for all vehicle speeds and operation. This is
the selected height that the suspension will level for
speed changes (e.g. raising from Entry/Exit Height at
speed, lowering from Off-Road Height at speed, etc.).
●
Default ride height can be changed by selecting
between Normal or Aero in the radio under the
Suspension settings.
NOTE:
If equipped with a touchscreen radio, all enabling/
disabling of air suspension features must be done
through the radio
The air suspension system uses a high pressure
volume of air to operate the system. To avoid
personal injury or damage to the system, see an
authorized dealer for service.
