vehicle. When high humidity is
detected, the climate control system
may adjust to outside air supply, turn
on the air conditioner, and direct
more air to the windshield. If the
climate control system does not
detect possible window fogging, it
returns to normal operation. To turn

Changing Ride Height
Press either ‘Up’or‘Down’ Ride Height
Button to open the Ride Height menu.
Use these buttons to select the desired
ride height in the menu. After a brief
pause, the menu will timeout and the
selection will finalize. Ride heights
that are unavailable for selection will
be greyed out in the menu.
Ride Height Descriptions
Normal Height
Normal Height is the standard vehicle
height used for everyday driving.
Entry/Exit Height
Entry/Exit Height is 50 mm (2 in)
lower than Normal Height. This ride
height lowers the vehicle for easy
entry and exit from the vehicle as well
as providing a lower height for loading
and unloading cargo from any door or
the rear liftgate.
This ride height can be selected in the
Ride Height Menu at any vehicle
speed. When Entry/Exit Height is
select at higher speeds, the vehicle
will wait to lower until the vehicle
slows to less than 12 km/h (7 mph).
The vehicle will automatically raise to
Normal Height from Entry/Exit Height
when speed increases above 8 km/h
(5 mph). If no door has been opened
since lowering to Entry/Exit Height,
the vehicle will wait to raise to
Normal Height until 30 km/h
(19 mph). This gives the driver more flexibility when lowering to Entry/Exit
Height for passenger pick up and
drop off.
The driver can enable Automatic
Entry/Egress Mode to automatically
lower to Entry/Exit Height when the
vehicle is shifted to P (PARK).
Automatic Entry/Egress Mode may be
enabled via the infotainment screen
under Settings/Vehicle/Ride Height.
When the vehicle is higher than
Normal Height, Automatic Entry/
Egress Mode is disabled. When the
vehicle is in Tow/Haul Driver Mode,
Off-Road Driver Mode, or it senses a
trailer is connected, Automatic Entry/
Egress Mode is disabled.
Increased Height
Increased Height is 25 mm (1 in)
higher than Normal Height. This ride
height raises the vehicle for off-road
use, allows for higher speeds than
Maximum Height, and is only
available with specific optional
content.
Increased Height can be selected in
the Ride Height Menu while vehicle
speed is less than 80 km/h (50 mph).

vehicle brakes or manual trailer brakes
are applied and properly connected.
Trailer Gain Adjustment Procedure
Trailer Gain should be set for a
specific trailering condition and it
must be readjusted anytime vehicle
loading, trailer loading, or road surface
conditions change.
{Warning
Trailer brakes that are over-gained
or under-gained may not stop the
vehicle and the trailer as intended
and can result in a crash. Always
follow the instructions to set the
Trailer Gain for the proper trailer
stopping performance.
To adjust Trailer Gain for each towing
condition:
1. Drive the vehicle with the trailer attached on a level road surface
representative of the towing
condition and free of traffic at
about 32 to 40 km/h (20 to 25 mph)
and fully apply the Manual Trailer
Brake apply lever.
Note
Adjusting Trailer Gain at speeds lower
than 32 to 40 km/h (20 to 25 mph)
may result in an incorrect gain
setting. 2. Adjust the Trailer Gain, using the Trailer Gain adjustment buttons, to
just below the point of trailer
wheel lock-up, indicated by trailer
wheel squeal or tire smoke when a
trailer wheel locks.
Note
Trailer wheel lock-up may not occur if
towing a heavily loaded trailer. In this
case, adjust the Trailer Gain to the
highest allowable setting for the
towing condition.

malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function
properly.
SeeTire Pressure Monitor Operation
0 412.
See Radio Frequency Statement 0481.
Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation
This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is
designed to warn the driver when a
low tire pressure condition exists.
TPMS sensors are mounted onto each
tire and wheel assembly, excluding the
spare tire and wheel assembly. The
TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the tires and transmit the
tire pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure condition is
detected, the TPMS illuminates the
low tire pressure warning light located
on the instrument cluster. If the
warning light comes on, stop as soon
as possible and inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label.
See
Vehicle Load Limits 0241.
A message to check the pressure in a
specific tire displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The low tire
pressure warning light and the DIC
warning message come on at each
ignition cycle until the tires are
inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. If the vehicle has DIC
buttons, tire pressure levels can be
viewed. For additional information and details about the DIC operation
and displays, see
Driver Information
Center (DIC) 0133.
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
could be an early indicator that the air
pressure is getting low and needs to
be inflated to the proper pressure.
A Tire and Loading Information label
shows the size of the original
equipment tires and the correct
inflation pressure for the tires when
they are cold. See Vehicle Load Limits
0 241, for an example of the Tire and
Loading Information label and its
location. Also see Tire Pressure0409.
The TPMS can warn about a low tire
pressure condition but it does not
replace normal tire maintenance. See
Tire Inspection 0416, Tire Rotation
0 417 and
Tires 0402.
