Only the bottom Indicator lamp on the "Up" button will be illuminated when the vehicle is in this position. • Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle approximately 1.3 in (33 mm) - This position is intended for off-road driving only where vehicle speeds may go above 25 mph (40 km/h).

WARNING! • You or others could be injured 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 driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move regardless of the transmission position. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. • The air suspension system uses a high pressure volume of air to operate the system. To avoid personal injury or damage to the system, see your authorized dealer for service. UP UP Hill Start Assist/Hill Descent Control • The Hill Start Assist system assists the driver when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. • The Hill Descent Control system maintains vehicle speed while descending hills during off-road driving situations and is available in 4WD HIGH range and 4WD LOW range. • Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
