change will be paused until the vehicle
speed either goes below 15 mph (24 km/h)
and the height change continues to Park
Mode, or exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h) and the
vehicle height will return to NRH. Park Mode
may be selected while the vehicle is not
moving provided that the engine is still run-
ning and all doors remain closed.

ON-ROAD DRIVING TIPS

Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance
and a narrower track to make them capable of
performing in a wide variety of off-road appli-
cations. Specific design characteristics give
them a higher center of gravity than ordinary
cars.
An advantage of the higher ground clearance
is a better view of the road, allowing you to
anticipate problems. They are not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as conventional
two-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-
slung sports cars are designed to perform
satisfactorily in off-road conditions. If at all
possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-
vers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure
to operate this vehicle correctly may result in
loss of control or vehicle rollover.

OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS

NOTE:
Prior to off-road driving, remove the front air
dam to prevent damage. The front air dam is
attached to the lower front fascia with seven
quarter turn fasteners and can be removed
by hand.
Front Air Dam
1 — Front Bumper
2 — Front Air Dam Fasteners
Quadra-Lift™ – If Equipped
When off-roading, it is recommended that the
lowest useable vehicle height that will clear the
current obstacle or terrain be selected. The
vehicle height should then be raised as re-
quired by the changes in terrain.
The Selec-Terrain™ switch will automatically
change the vehicle to the optimized height
based on the Selec-Terrain™ switch position.
The vehicle height can be changed from the
default height for each Selec-Terrain™ mode
by normal use of the air suspension switches.
Refer to "Quadra-Lift™ – If Equipped" in "Start-
ing and Operating" for further information.
When To Use 4WD LOW Range –
If Equipped
When off-road driving, shift to 4WD LOW for
additional traction. This range should be limited
to extreme situations such as deep snow, mud,
or sand where additional low speed pulling
power is needed. Vehicle speeds in excess of
25 mph (40 km/h) should be avoided when in
4WD LOW range.
