The ride height level can be adjusted auto­
matically or manually -depending on
the vehicle's speed:
• Low laval -Reduced ground clearance,
like a sport suspension. The lowest green
LED will come in the level display (2).
In automatic mode, the vehicle will auto­
matically lower to the low level after it
reaches about 75 mph (120 km/h). The sys­
tem builds in a brief delay before this hap­
pens. If the speed drops below about 45
mph (70 km/h) for an extended period, the
system resumes the normal level. •
Normal level -Standard ground clear­
ance. The two lower green LED's will now
be lit in the level display (2).
• High level -Increased ground clear­
ance for rough roads and trails. The three
lower LED's will now be lit in the level dis­
play (2).
• Highest level-Ride height level for ex­
tremely rough roads and terrain. All four
green LED's will now be lit in the level dis­
play (2).
Notes
• If you manually select "High" or "High­
est" while the automatic mode is on, but
the vehicle has slowed down to the point
where it lowers to "Normal" or "Low"
level, the system will automatically raise the
vehicle back to the "High" position.
When does this happen?
- If the vehicle speed falls below 38 mph
(60 km/h), this will happen after about
30 seconds.
- If the vehicle speed falls below 19 mph
(30 km/ h), this will happen right away. CONT
