Driving • Do not operate the vehicle with the power steering pump fluid level below the MIN mark on the reservoir. If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort. If the steering wanders or pulls, check for: • Underinflated tire(s) on any wheel(s) • Uneven vehicle loading • High crown in center of road • High crosswinds • Wheels out of alignment • Loose or worn suspension components AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM The air suspension system is designed to improve ride, handling and general vehicle performance for static, on and off-road driving conditions. • The load leveling feature of the air suspension automatically keeps the vehicle at a constant level if a load is added or removed from the vehicle.
