WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the
ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera. Alwayscheck carefully behind your
vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, or blind spots before backing up. You must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable
vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles etc.) that enter the blind spot
zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
• The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the radio to notify you of objects that have entered the
detection zones.
• Refer to your owner's manual on the DVD for further details.
LIFTGATE FLIPPER GLASS
• The liftgate flipper glass is unlocked when the liftgate is
unlocked. To open the flipper
glass, push up on the window
switch located on the liftgate.
When flipper glass is unlatched it
will not completely raise, lift up on
flipper glass handle to open.
NOTE: If a malfunction to the liftgate latch should occur, an emergency
liftgate latch release, located on the inside of the vehicle, can be used to
open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch release can be accessed
through a snap-in cover located on the liftgate trim panel.

WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate or flipper glass open can allow poisonousexhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your passengers could be
injured by these fumes. Keep the flipper glass closed when you are
operating the vehicle.
• To avoid injury, stand back when opening. Glass may automatically rise.
POWER SUNROOF
Manual Open/Close

is pressed again.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

• The Quadra-Lift™ air suspension system uses a lifting and loweringpattern which keeps the headlights from shining into oncoming traffic.
When raising the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle will move up first and
then the front. When lowering the vehicle, the front will move down first
and then the rear.
• After the engine is turned off, you may notice that the air suspension system operates briefly. This is normal. The system is correcting the
position of the vehicle.
• To assist with changing a spare tire, the Quadra-Lift™ air suspension system has a feature which allows the automatic leveling to be disabled.
Press and hold both the “Up” and “Down” buttons simultaneously
between 5 and 10 seconds; a message will appear in the EVIC stating
leveling has been disabled immediately after both buttons have been
released. Driving the vehicle over 5 mph (8 km/h) will return the air
suspension to normal operation.
• An audible chime will be heard whenever a system error has been detected.
Operation • Pressing the “Up” or “Down” button once will move the suspension one position higher or lower from the current position, assuming all
conditions are met (i.e., engine running and all doors and liftgate closed).
• The 4 indicator lamps will illuminate to show the current position of the vehicle. Flashing indicator lamps will show a position which the system is
working to achieve. If multiple indicator lamps are flashing on the “Up”
button, the highest flashing indicator lamp is the position the system is
working to achieve.
• Normal Ride Height (NRH) – This is the standard position ofthe suspension and is meant for normal driving. Only the
bottom Indicator lamp on the “Up” button will be illuminated
when the vehicle is in this position.
• Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle approximately 1.3 in (33 mm) – This position is intended for off-road driving only
where vehicle speeds may go above 25 mph (40 km/h). Press
the “Up” button once from NRH while vehicle speed is below
48 mph (77 km/h). The bottom two Indicator lamps on the
“Up” button will be illuminated when the vehicle is in OR1.
• Off-Road 2 (OR2) (Raises the vehicle approximately 2.6 in (65 mm) – This position is intended for off-road driving where
maximum ground clearance is required. Press the “Up” button
twice from NRH, or once from OR1 position while vehicle
speed is below 20 mph (32 km/h). All three Indicator lamps on
the “Up” button will be illuminated when the vehicle is in OR2.
