452 STARTING AND OPERATING
• Normal Ride Height (NRH)/Aero Mode– Indicator
lamps 3 and 4 will be illuminated when the vehicle is
in this position.
• Entry/Exit Mode – Indicator lamp 3 will be illumi-
nated when the vehicle is in Entry Exit Mode. Entry/
Exit mode can be requested up to 33 mph (53 km/h).
If vehicle speed is reduced to, and kept below, 15 mph
(24 km/h) indicator lamp 4 will flash and indicator
lamp 3 will remain solid until Entry/Exit Mode is
achieved at which point indicator lamp 4 will turn off.
If during the height change to Entry/Exit Mode, the
vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph (24 km/h), the height
change will be paused until the vehicle speed either
goes below 15 mph (24 km/h) and the height change
continues to Entry/Exit Mode, or exceeds 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the vehicle height will return to NRH.
Entry/Exit Mode may be selected while the vehicle is
not moving provided that the key is in the ON/RUN
position and all doors remain closed.
AXLE LOCKER SYSTEM (2500 MODELS ONLY) —
IF EQUIPPED
This vehicle is equipped with electronically locking front
and rear differentials. These differentials, when engaged,
mechanically lock together the axle shafts forcing the
wheels to spin at an equal rate. This allows the vehicle to
maintain its momentum and prevents it from becoming
stuck. The locking front and rear differentials should only
be engaged during low-speed, extreme off-road situa-
tions where one wheel is likely to not be in contact with
the ground. It is not recommended to drive the vehicle
with the differentials locked on pavement due to the
reduced ability to turn and speed limitations.
