This system keeps the rear of your vehicle at a constant level by

automatically adding air or releasing air from the springs. If you exceed

the load limit, the rear air suspension may not operate. The air

suspension system will stay active for 40 minutes after the ignition is

turned off to accommodate any load changes. (The air compressor may

run when the vehicle is off; this is normal.)

The air suspension system can be enabled or disabled through the

message center. Refer to

Message center

in the

Driver Controls

chapter.

If the system is off, the rear air suspension will not operate and will not

raise (pump) or lower (vent) while the vehicle is not moving. However, if

the system determines that the vehicle is low or high and needs to make

a height adjustment while driving at speeds above 15 mph (24 km/h), the

system will pump or vent as required. Normal vehicle operation does not

require any action by the driver.

WARNING:

On vehicles equipped with air suspension, turn the

air suspension and the ignition switch off prior to jacking,

hoisting or towing your vehicle.

PREPARING TO DRIVE

WARNING:

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover

rate than other types of vehicles.

WARNING:

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is

significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.

Utility vehicles and trucks have larger tires and increased ground

clearance, giving the vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger

car.

WARNING:

Vehicles with a higher center of gravity such as

utility vehicles and trucks handle differently than vehicles with a

lower center of gravity. Utility vehicles and trucks are

not

designed for

cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more than low-slung

sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road

conditions. Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed or abrupt maneuvers in

these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously could result in an increased

risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and

death.
