UTO

ARK

AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist in

placing the vehicle in PARK if the below occur. It is

a back-up system and should not be relied upon as

the primary method by which the driver shifts the

vehicle into PARK.
The conditions under which AutoPark will engage

are outlined on the following pages.

WARNING!



Driver inattention could lead to failure to place

the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO A VISUAL

CHECK that your vehicle is in PARK by verifying

that a solid (not blinking) “P” is indicated in

the instrument cluster display and on the gear

selector. If the "P" indicator is blinking, your

vehicle is not in PARK. As an added precau

tion, always apply the parking brake when

exiting the vehicle.



AutoPark is a supplemental feature. It is not

designed to replace the need to shift your

vehicle into PARK. It is a back up system and

should not be relied upon as the primary

method by which the driver shifts the vehicle

into PARK.

To ensure reliable starting at these temperatures,

use of an externally powered electric engine block

heater (available from an authorized dealer) is

recommended.

FTER

TARTING

The idle speed is controlled automatically, and it

will decrease as the engine warms up.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED

The engine block heater warms the engine, and

permits quicker starts in cold weather. Connect the

cord to a standard 110-115 Volt AC electrical

outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
The engine block heater must be plugged in at

least one hour to have an adequate warming effect

on the engine.
The engine block heater cord is located:



3.6L Engine — Bundled and strapped behind the

engine air cleaner assembly.

CAUTION!

To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank

continuously for more than 10 seconds at a

time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.

WARNING!



Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into

the throttle body air inlet opening in an

attempt to start the vehicle. This could result

in flash fire causing serious personal injury.



Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to

get it started. Vehicles equipped with an auto

matic transmission cannot be started this

way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic

converter and once the engine has started,

ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.



If the vehicle has a discharged battery,

booster cables may be used to obtain a start

from a booster battery or the battery in

another vehicle. This type of start can be

dangerous if done improperly

page 248.

CAUTION!

To prevent damage to the starter, do not

continuously crank the engine for more than

10 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds

before trying again.

WARNING!

Remember to disconnect the engine block heater

cord before driving. Damage to the 110-115 Volt

electrical cord could cause electrocution.

STARTING AND OPERATING

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

A long break-in period is not required for the

drivetrain (engine, transmission, clutch, and rear

axle) in your new vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles

(500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),

speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are

desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within

the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good

break-in. However, wide-open throttle acceleration

in low gear can be detrimental and should be

avoided.
The engine oil, transmission fluid, and axle

lubricant installed at the factory is high-quality and

energy-conserving. Oil, fluid, and lubricant changes

should be consistent with anticipated climate and

conditions under which vehicle operations will

occur

page 317.

NOTE:

A new engine may consume some oil during its first

few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This

should be considered a normal part of the break-in

and not interpreted as a problem. Please check

your oil level with the engine oil indicator often

during the break-in period. Add oil as required.

PARKING BRAKE

Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the

parking brake is fully applied and place the gear

selector in the PARK (P) position.
The foot operated parking brake is located below

the lower left corner of the instrument panel. To

apply the parking brake, firmly push the parking

brake pedal fully. To release the parking brake,

press the parking brake pedal a second time and

let your foot up as you feel the brake disengage.

Parking Brake

When the parking brake is applied with the ignition

switch in the ON/RUN position, the Brake Warning

Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate.

NOTE:



When the parking brake is applied and the

transmission is placed in gear, the Brake

Warning Light will flash. If vehicle speed is

detected, a chime will sound to alert the driver.

Fully release the parking brake before

attempting to move the vehicle.



This light only shows that the parking brake is

applied. It does not show the degree of brake

application.

When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the

front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade

and away from the curb on an uphill grade. Apply

the parking brake before placing the gear selector

in PARK, otherwise the load on the transmission

locking mechanism may make it difficult to move

the gear selector out of PARK.

CAUTION!

Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral

Oil in the engine or damage may result.

WARNING!



Never use the PARK position as a substitute

for the parking brake. Always apply the

parking brake fully when parked to guard

against vehicle movement and possible injury

or damage.



When leaving the vehicle, always remove the

key fob from the ignition and lock your vehicle.

STARTING AND OPERATING

(Continued)

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

You must press and hold the brake pedal while

shifting out of PARK.



Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil

dren to be in a vehicle unattended is

dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or

others could be seriously or fatally injured.

Children should be warned not to touch the

parking brake, brake pedal or the gear

selector.



When leaving the vehicle, always make sure

the keyless ignition node is in the OFF posi

tion, remove the key fob from the vehicle and

lock the vehicle.



Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle

or in a location accessible to children, and do

not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped

with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ in the ACC or ON/

RUN position. A child could operate power

windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.



Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged

before driving; failure to do so can lead to

brake failure and a collision.



Always fully apply the parking brake when

leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and cause

damage or injury. Also be certain to leave the

transmission in PARK. Failure to do so may

allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or

injury.

WARNING!

CAUTION!

If the Brake Warning Light remains on with the

parking brake released, a brake system

malfunction is indicated. Have the brake system

serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.

WARNING!



Never use the PARK position as a substitute

for the parking brake. Always apply the

parking brake fully when exiting the vehicle to

guard against vehicle movement and possible

injury or damage.



Your vehicle could move and injure you and

others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to

move the transmission gear selector out of

PARK with the brake pedal released. Make

sure the transmission is in PARK before

exiting the vehicle.



The transmission may not engage PARK if the

vehicle is moving. Always bring the vehicle to a

complete stop before shifting to PARK, and

verify that the transmission gear position indi

cator solidly indicates PARK (P) without

blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is completely

stopped, and the PARK position is properly

indicated, before exiting the vehicle.



It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or

NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than

idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing

the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate

quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose

control of the vehicle and hit someone or

something. Only shift into gear when the

engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly

pressing the brake pedal.



Unintended movement of a vehicle could

injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all

vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while

the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle,

always come to a complete stop, then apply

the parking brake, shift the transmission into

PARK, and turn the ignition OFF. When the

ignition is in the OFF position, the transmis

sion is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle

against unwanted movement.

NTERLOCK

This vehicle is equipped with an Ignition Park

Interlock which requires the transmission to be in

PARK before the ignition can be turned to the OFF

position. This helps the driver avoid inadvertently

leaving the vehicle without placing the

transmission in PARK. This system also locks the

transmission in PARK whenever the ignition is in

the OFF position.

NOTE:

The transmission is NOT locked in PARK when the

ignition is in the ACC position (even though the

engine will be off). Ensure that the transmission is

in PARK, and the ignition is OFF (not in ACC

position) before exiting the vehicle.

PEED

UTOMATIC

RANSMISSION

The transmission gear range is displayed both

beside the gear selector and in the instrument

cluster. To select a gear range, push the lock

button on the gear selector and move the selector

rearward or forward. To shift the transmission out

of PARK (P), the engine must be running and the

brake pedal must be pressed. You must also press

the brake pedal to shift from NEUTRAL (N) into

DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R) when the vehicle is

stopped or moving at low speeds. Select the DRIVE

range for normal driving.

NOTE:



The transmission electronics are self-cali

brating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new

vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a

normal condition, and precision shifts will

develop within a few hundred miles (kilome

ters).



In the event of a mismatch between the gear

selector position and the actual transmission

gear (for example, driver selects PARK while

driving), the position indicator will blink continu

ously until the selector is returned to the proper

position, or the requested shift can be

completed.

The electronically controlled transmission adapts

its shift schedule based on driver inputs, along

with environmental and road conditions.
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when

the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is

stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake

pedal when shifting between these gears.
The transmission gear selector provides PARK,

REVERSE, NEUTRAL, and MANUAL (M) or SPORT

(S) (AutoStick) shift positions. Manual shifts can be

made using the AutoStick shift control. Toggling

the gear selector forward (-) or rearward (+) while

in the MANUAL or SPORT (AutoStick) position

(beside the DRIVE position), or tapping the paddle

shifters(+/-), (if equipped) will manually select the

transmission gear, and will display the current gear

in the instrument cluster

page 99.

Gear Selector

NOTE:

If the gear selector cannot be moved to the PARK,

REVERSE, or NEUTRAL position (when pushed

forward), it is probably in the AutoStick (+/-)

position (beside the DRIVE position). In AutoStick

mode, the transmission gear (1, 2, 3, etc.) is

displayed in the instrument cluster. Move the gear

selector to the right (into the DRIVE position) for

access to PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Gear Ranges

Do not press the accelerator pedal when shifting

out of PARK or NEUTRAL.

NOTE:

After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to

allow the selected gear to engage before acceler

ating. This is especially important when the engine

is cold.
PARK (P)
This range supplements the parking brake by

locking the transmission. The engine can be

started in this range. Never attempt to use PARK

while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking

brake when exiting the vehicle in this range.
When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake

before shifting the transmission to PARK. As an

added precaution, turn the front wheels toward the

curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb

on an uphill grade.
When exiting the vehicle, always:



Apply the parking brake



Shift the transmission into PARK



Turn the ignition OFF



Remove the key fob from the vehicle

NOTE:

On four-wheel drive vehicles be sure that the

transfer case is in a drive position.

The following indicators should be used to ensure

that you have properly engaged the transmission

into the PARK position:



When shifting into PARK, push the lock button

on the gear selector and firmly move the

selector all the way forward until it stops and is

fully seated.



Look at the transmission gear position display

and verify that it indicates the PARK position (P),

and is not blinking.



With the brake pedal released, verify that the

gear selector will not move out of PARK.

REVERSE (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle backward.

Shift into REVERSE only after the vehicle has come

to a complete stop.
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for

prolonged periods with the engine running. Apply

the parking brake and shift the transmission into

PARK if you must exit the vehicle.

CAUTION!



Before moving the transmission gear selector

out of PARK, you must start the engine, and

also press the brake pedal. Otherwise,

damage to the gear selector could result.



DO NOT race the engine when shifting from

PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as

this can damage the drivetrain.

WARNING!

Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the

ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe

practices that limit your response to changing

traffic or road conditions. You might lose control

of the vehicle and have a collision.

CAUTION!

Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any

other reason with the transmission in NEUTRAL

can cause severe transmission damage.
For Recreational Towing

page 146.

For Towing A Disabled Vehicle

page 253.

STARTING AND OPERATING

DRIVE (D)
This range should be used for most city and

highway driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts

and downshifts, and the best fuel economy. The

transmission automatically upshifts through all

forward gears.
When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such

as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading

conditions, in hilly terrain, traveling into strong

head winds, or while towing a heavy trailer), use

the AutoStick shift control to select a lower gear

page 99. Under these conditions, using a lower

gear will improve performance and extend

transmission life by reducing excessive shifting

and heat buildup.
During extremely cold temperatures (-22°F

[-30°C] or below), transmission operation may be

modified depending on engine and transmission

temperature as well as vehicle speed. Normal

operation will resume once the transmission

temperature has risen to a suitable level.
MANUAL (M) OR SPORT (S) — IF EQUIPPED
The MANUAL (M, +/-) or SPORT (S, +/-) position

(beside the DRIVE position) enables full manual

control of transmission shifting (also known as

AutoStick mode

page 99). Toggling the gear

selector forward (-) or rearward (+) while in the

MANUAL or SPORT (AutoStick) position will

manually select the transmission gear, and will

display the current gear in the instrument cluster.

Transmission Limp Home Mode

Transmission function is monitored electronically

for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected

that could result in transmission damage,

Transmission Limp Home mode is activated. In this

mode, the transmission may operate only in

certain gears, or may not shift at all. Vehicle

performance may be severely degraded and the

engine may stall. In some situations, the

transmission may not re-engage if the engine is

turned off and restarted. The Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL) may be illuminated. A message in the

instrument cluster will inform the driver of the

more serious conditions, and indicate what actions

may be necessary.
In the event of a momentary problem, the

transmission can be reset to regain all forward

gears by performing the following steps:

NOTE:

In cases where the instrument cluster message

indicates the transmission may not re-engage after

engine shutdown, perform this procedure only in a

desired location (preferably, at an authorized

dealer):
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK (P), if

possible. If not, shift the transmission to

NEUTRAL (N).

3. Push and hold the ignition switch until the

engine turns off.

4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the

problem is no longer detected, the

transmission will return to normal operation.

NOTE:

Even if the transmission can be reset, we

recommend that you visit an authorized dealer at

your earliest possible convenience. An authorized

dealer has diagnostic equipment to assess the

condition of your transmission. If the transmission

cannot be reset, authorized dealer service is

required.

AutoStick

AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission

feature providing manual shift control, giving you

more control of the vehicle. AutoStick allows you to

maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable

upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall

vehicle performance. This feature can also provide

you with more control during passing, city driving,

cold slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer

towing, and many other situations.

100

STARTING AND OPERATING

Paddle Shifters

Operation
In AutoStick mode, you can use the gear selector

(in the MANUAL or SPORT position), or the paddle

shifters (if equipped), to manually shift the

transmission. To activate AutoStick mode, move

the gear selector into the MANUAL (M) or SPORT

(S) position (beside the DRIVE position), or tap one

of the paddle shifters on the steering wheel (if

equipped). Tapping the (-) shift paddle (if

equipped) to enter AutoStick mode will downshift

the transmission to the next lower gear, while

tapping (+) to enter AutoStick mode will retain the

current gear. The current transmission gear will be

displayed in the instrument cluster.

AutoStick mode has the following operational

benefits:



The transmission will automatically downshift

as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine lugging)

and will display the current gear.



The transmission will automatically downshift to

FIRST gear when coming to a stop. After a stop,

the driver should manually upshift (+) the trans

mission as the vehicle is accelerated.



You can start out, from a stop, in FIRST or

SECOND gear (or THIRD gear, in 4L range,

SNOW mode, or SAND mode). Tapping (+)

(at a stop) will allow starting in SECOND gear.

Starting out in SECOND or THIRD gear can be

helpful in snowy or icy conditions.



If a requested downshift would cause the

engine to overspeed, that shift will not occur.



The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too

low of a vehicle speed.



Holding the (-) paddle pressed (if equipped), or

holding the gear selector in the (-) position, will

downshift the transmission to the lowest gear

possible at the current speed.



Transmission shifting will be more noticeable

when AutoStick is enabled.



The system may revert to automatic shift mode

if a fault or overheat condition is detected.

NOTE:

When Selec-Speed or Hill Descent Control is

The Quadra-Trac I is a single-speed (HI range only)

transfer case, which provides convenient full-time

four-wheel drive. No driver interaction is required. The

Brake Traction Control (BTC) System, which combines

standard ABS and Traction Control, provides

resistance to any wheel that is slipping to allow

additional torque transfer to wheels with traction.

NOTE:

The Quadra-Trac I system is not appropriate for

conditions where 4WD LOW range is recom

The Quadra-Trac II transfer case is fully automatic

in the normal driving 4WD AUTO mode. The

Quadra-Trac II transfer case provides three

positions:



4WD AUTO



N (NEUTRAL)



4WD LOW

When additional traction is required, the 4WD LOW

position can be used to lock the front and rear

driveshafts together and force the front and rear

wheels to rotate at the same speed. The 4WD LOW

position is intended for loose, slippery road

surfaces only. Driving in the 4WD LOW position on

dry, hard-surfaced roads may cause increased tire

wear and damage to driveline components.
When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW, the

engine speed is approximately three times that of

the 4WD AUTO position at a given road speed. Take

care not to overspeed the engine and do not

exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles

depends on tires of equal size, type, and

circumference on each wheel. Any difference will

adversely affect shifting and cause damage to the

transfer case.
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.

HIFT

OSITIONS

For additional information on the appropriate use

of each 4WD system mode position, see the

information below:

4WD AUTO

This range is the default operating mode for daily

use.

N (NEUTRAL)

This range disengages the driveline from the

powertrain. It is used for towing your vehicle

behind another vehicle

page 146.

4WD LOW

This range is for low speed four-wheel drive. It

provides an additional gear reduction which allows

for increased torque to be delivered to both the

front and rear wheels while providing maximum

pulling power for loose, slippery road surfaces only.

Do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).

HIFTING

ROCEDURES

4WD HI To 4WD LOW

With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to

5 km/h), the ignition switch in the ON/RUN

position or the engine running, shift the

transmission into “N”, and push the 4WD LOW

button once on the transfer case switch.

The 4WD LOW indicator light in the instrument

cluster will begin to flash and remain on solid when

the shift is complete.

Transfer Case Switch

NOTE:

If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a

transfer case motor temperature protection

condition exists, a “For 4x4 Low Slow Below 3 mph

(5 km/h) Put Trans in “N” Press 4 Low” message

will flash from the instrument cluster display

page 74.

4WD LOW To 4WD HI

With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to

5 km/h), the ignition switch in the ON position or

the engine running, shift the transmission into

NEUTRAL (N), and push the 4WD LOW button once

on the transfer case switch. The 4WD LOW

indicator light in the instrument cluster will flash

and go out when the shift is complete.

WARNING!

You or others could be injured or killed if you

leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer

case in the N (NEUTRAL) position without first

fully engaging the parking brake. The transfer

case N (NEUTRAL) position disengages both the

front and rear drive shafts from the powertrain

and will allow the vehicle to roll, even if the

transmission is in PARK. The parking brake

should always be applied when the driver is not

in the vehicle.

Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible with

the vehicle completely stopped; however, diffi

culty may occur due to the mating clutch teeth

not being properly aligned. Several attempts may

be required for clutch teeth alignment and shift

completion to occur. The preferred method is

with the vehicle rolling 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h).

If the vehicle is moving faster than 3 mph

(5 km/h), the transfer case will not allow

The Quadra-Drive II System features two torque

transfer couplings. The couplings include an

Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (ELSD) rear axle

and the Quadra-Trac II transfer case. The ELSD

axle is fully automatic and requires no driver input

to operate. Under normal driving conditions, the

unit functions as a standard axle, balancing torque

evenly between left and right wheels. With a

traction difference between left and right wheels,

the coupling will sense a speed difference.

As one wheel begins to spin faster than the other,

torque will automatically transfer from the wheel

that has less traction, to the wheel that has

traction. While the transfer case and axle coupling

differ in design, their operation is similar.

Follow the Quadra-Trac II transfer case shifting

information, preceding this section, for shifting

this system.

The Quadra-Lift air suspension system provides

full time load leveling capability along with the

benefit of vehicle height adjustment by the push of

a button. The vehicle will automatically raise and

lower the ride height to adapt to the appropriate

driving conditions. At higher speeds, the vehicle

will lower to an aerodynamic ride height and when

operating in off-road modes, the vehicle will raise

the ride height accordingly. The buttons near the

terrain switch in the center console area can be

used to set preferred ride height to match the

appropriate conditions.

STARTING AND OPERATING



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 approxi

mately 1.1 inches [28 mm]) – This is the

primary position for all off-road driving until OR2

is needed. A smoother and more comfortable

ride will result. Push the UP button once from

the NRH position while the vehicle speed is

below 38 mph (61 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

page 150.



Off-Road 2 (OR2) (Raises the vehicle approxi

mately 2.2 inches [55 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

page 150.



Aero Height (Lowers the vehicle approximately

0.6 inches [15 mm]) – This position provides

improved aerodynamics by lowering the vehicle.

The vehicle will automatically enter Aero when

the vehicle speed remains between 52 mph

(83 km/h) and 56 mph (90 km/h) for greater

than 20 seconds or if the vehicle speed exceeds

56 mph (90 km/h). The vehicle will return to

NRH from Aero Height if the vehicle speed

remains between 20 mph (32 km/h) and

25 mph (40 km/h) for greater than 20 seconds

or if the vehicle speed falls below 20 mph

(32 km/h). The vehicle will enter Aero Height,

regardless of vehicle speed if the vehicle is in

SPORT mode.



Entry/Exit Height (Lowers the vehicle approxi

mately 1.6 inches [40 mm]) – This position

lowers the vehicle for easier passenger entry

and exit as well as lowering the rear of the

vehicle for easier loading and unloading of

cargo. To enter Entry/Exit, push the DOWN

button once from (NRH) while the vehicle speed

is below 25 mph (40 km/h). Once the vehicle

speed goes below 15 mph (24 km/h) the

vehicle height will begin to lower. If the vehicle

speed remains between 15 mph (24 km/h) and

25 mph (40 km/h) for greater than 60 seconds,

or the vehicle speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h)

the Entry/Exit change will be canceled. To exit

Entry/Exit, press the Up button once while in

Entry/Exit or drive the vehicle over 15 mph

(24 km/h).

NOTE:

Automatic lowering of the vehicle into Entry/Exit

can be enabled through the Uconnect Touch

screen Radio. If this feature is enabled, the vehicle

will only lower if the gear selector is in PARK, the

terrain switch is in AUTO, the transfer case is in

AUTO and the vehicle level is either in Normal or

Aero. The vehicle will not automatically lower if the

air suspension level is in OR2 or OR1. If the vehicle

is equipped with Intrusion Theft Module (ITM), the

lowering will be suppressed when the ignition is

switched OFF to prevent setting the alarm off.
The Selec-Terrain system will automatically change

the vehicle to the proper height based on the

position of the Selec-Terrain switch. The height can

be changed from the default Selec-Terrain setting

by normal use of the air suspension buttons

page 106.

The system requires that the engine be running for

all changes. When lowering the vehicle all of the

doors, including the liftgate, 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/are closed.

STARTING AND OPERATING

The Quadra-Lift air suspension 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.
