Quadra-Lift™ – If Equipped

When off-roading, it is recommended that the lowest useable vehicle height that will clear the current obstacle or terrain be selected. The vehicle height should then be raised as required by the changes in terrain.

The Selec-Terrain™ switch will automatically change the vehicle to the optimized height based on the Selec- Terrain™ switch position. The vehicle height can be changed from the default height for each Selec-Terrain™ mode by normal use of the air suspension switches. Refer to “Quadra-Lift™ – If Equipped” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
