1500 AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM
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 button.
Automatic height changes will occur
based on vehicle speed and the current
vehicle height. The indicator lamps and
EVIC/DID messages will operate the
same for automatic changes and user
requested changes.
Description
Normal Ride Height (NRH) - This is the
standard position of the suspension and
is meant for normal driving.
Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle ap-
proximately 1 in (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 comfort-
able ride will result. To enter OR1, push
the “Up” button once from the NRH
position while the vehicle speed is below 35 mph (56 km/h). When in the OR1 po-
sition, 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 EVIC/DID message will be displayed when this
occurs. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Driver Information
Display (DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual on
the DVD for further information.
Off-Road 2 (OR2) (Raises the vehicle approximately 2 in (51 mm) - This position is
intended for off-roading use only where maximum ground clearance is required. To
enter OR2, push the “Up” button twice from the NRH position or once from the
OR1 position while vehicle speed is below 20 mph (32 km/h). While in OR2, if the
vehicle speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h) the vehicle height will be automatically
lowered to OR1. Off-Road 2 may not be available due to vehicle payload, an EVIC/DID
message will be displayed when this occurs. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)/Driver Information Display (DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” in the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.
Aero Mode (Lowers the vehicle approximately .6 in (15 mm) – 1500 Models Only - This
position provides improved aerodynamics by lowering the vehicle. 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
