OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES (4WD OPERATION) Operation • Pressing the "Up" or "Down" button once will move the suspension one position higher or lower from the current position, assuming all conditions are met (i.e., engine running and all doors and liftgate closed). • The 4 indicator lamps will illuminate to show the current position of the vehicle. Flashing indicator lamps will show a position which the system is working to achieve. If multiple indicator lamps are flashing on the "Up" button, the highest flashing indicator lamp is the position the system is working to achieve. • Normal Ride Height (NRH) - This is the standard position of the suspension and is meant for normal driving. Only the bottom Indicator lamp on the "Up" button will be illuminated when the vehicle is in this position. UP • Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle approximately 1.1 in (28 mm) UP - This is the primary position for all off-road driving until OR2 is needed. A smoother and more comfortable ride will result. Press 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. • Off-Road 2 (OR2) (Raises the vehicle approximately 2.2 in (55 mm) UP - This position is intended for off-roading use only where maximum ground clearance is required. To enter OR2, press 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. • Entry/Exit Mode (Lowers the vehicle approximately 1.6 in (40 mm) - DOWN 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 Mode, press the "Down" PARK 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 Mode change will be cancelled. To exit Entry/Exit Mode, press the "Up" button once while in Entry/Exit Mode or drive the vehicle over 15 mph (24 km/h). 158
