234 STARTING AND OPERATING
Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles
depends on tires of equal size, type and
circumference on each wheel. Any difference in
tire size can cause damage to the drivetrain.
Because four-wheel drive provides improved
traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe
turning and stopping speeds. Do not go faster
than road conditions permit.
Shifting Procedure
NOTE:
If any of the requirements to select a new
transfer case position have not been met, the
transfer case will not shift. The position indi-
cator light for the previous position will
remain ON and the newly selected position
indicator light will continue to flash until all
the requirements for the selected position
have been met.
If all the requirements to select a new
transfer case position have been met, the
current position indicator light will turn OFF,
the selected position indicator light will flash
until the transfer case completes the shift.
When the shift is complete, the position indi-
cator light for the selected position will stop
flashing and remain ON.
ACTIVE-LEVEL FOUR CORNER AIR
SUSPENSION SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
Description
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 switch.
Air Suspension Switch
NOTE:
The vehicle will automatically enter 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).
Normal Ride Height (NRH) – This is the stan-
dard position of the suspension and is meant
for normal driving.
Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle approxi-
mately 1 inch (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 comfortable ride will result. To enter
OR1, push the height selector switch up 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 automatically lowered to NRH. Off-Road
1 may not be available due to vehicle payload,
an instrument cluster message will be
displayed when this occurs. Refer to “Instru-
ment Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know
Your Instrument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
