ground clearance FORD EXPEDITION 1997 1.G Owners Manual

and selection of two or four-wheel
drive modes.
The air suspension system places
the vehicle at its lowest height to
provide easy entry and exit when
the vehicle is parked, the ignition
is turned off and all doors are
closed.
The air suspension system raises
the vehicle approximately 2.5 cm
(1 in) to its normal ride position
when the ignition is turned on, the
transmission is initially shifted into
the drive or reverse mode and all
doors are closed.
In 4WD Low, the air suspension
system raises the vehicle an
additional 2.5 cm (1 in) above the
normal ride height to improve
vehicle ground clearance. However,
if the vehicle speed exceeds 40
km/h (25 mph), the system will
lower the vehicle to its normal ride
height to maximize ride comfort.
The vehicle will raise again if
vehicle speed is less than 13 km/h
(8 mph) for one minute. In 4WD
Low, do not exceed 56 km/h (35
mph).
As a safety consideration,
whenever a door is opened
(including the liftgate and liftgate
glass) the system memorizes and
maintains the height at the
moment the door was opened. The
system will maintain this height
until all doors are closed or until
vehicle speed exceeds 16 km/h (10
mph).
