• Aero Mode (Lowers the vehicle approximately 0.6 in (15 mm) – This positionprovides improved aerodynamics by lowering the vehicle. The vehicle will auto-
matically enter Aero Mode when the vehicle speed remains between 52 mph
(83 km/h) and 56 mph (90 km/h) for greater than 20 seconds or if the vehicle
speed exceeds 56 mph (90 km/h). The vehicle will return to NRH from Aero Mode
if the vehicle speed remains between 20 mph (32 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h) for
greater than 20 seconds or if the vehicle speed falls below 20 mph (32 km/h). The
vehicle will enter Aero Mode, regardless of vehicle speed if the gear selector is in
the “SPORT” position.
• Transport Mode — To assist with flat bed towing, the air suspension system has a feature which will put the vehicle into Entry/Exit height and disable the automatic
load leveling system. Refer to “Programmable Features" (Uconnect Customer
Programmable Features) in “Electronics” for further information. Transport Mode
is selectable within the Suspension features.
NOTE:
This mode is intended to be enabled with engine running.
WARNING!
• You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the N (Neutral) position without first fully engaging the parking
brake. The transfer case N (Neutral) position disengages both the front and rear
driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move regardless of
the transmission position. The parking brake should always be applied when
the driver is not in the vehicle.
• The air suspension system uses a high pressure volume of air to operate the
system. To avoid personal injury or damage to the system, see your authorized
dealer for service.
HILL START ASSIST/HILL DESCENT CONTROL/SELEC
SPEED CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
• The Hill Start Assist system assists the driver when starting a vehicle from a stopon a hill.
• The Hill Descent Control system maintains vehicle speed while descending hills during off-road driving situations and is available in 4WD LOW range.
• The Selec Speed Control feature allows the driver to travel at slow speeds on level ground, uphill or downhill without actively controlling either the throttle or brake.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

DIESEL FUEL FILTERS/WATER SEPARATOR
Draining Fuel/Water Separator
If the “Water in Fuel” indicator light
is illuminated and an audible chime
is heard five times, you should stop the
engine and drain the water from the sepa-
rator.
The best access to this water drain valve
is from under the vehicle.
The drain valve is located on the bottom
of the Fuel Filter and Water Separator
assembly which is located on the left side
of the vehicle in front of the fuel tank.
1. Loosen the drain valve (located on the bottom of the filter assembly) then
turn the ignition switch to the ON/
RUN position to allow any accumu-
lated water to drain.
2. When clean fuel is visible, close the drain and switch the ignition to the OFF position.
Refer to the Diesel Supplement on the DVD for further details.
Fuel Filter Replacement
1. Ensure engine is turned off.
2. Place drain pan under the fuel filter assembly.
3. Open the water drain valve, and let any accumulated water drain.
4. Close the water drain valve.
5. Remove using a socket. Rotate counterclockwise for removal.
6. Remove the used filter cartridge from the housing and dispose of according to your local regulations.
7. Wipe clean the sealing surfaces of the lid and housing.
8. Lubricate o-ring on new filter with clean engine oil.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 to service second filter in fuel filter assembly.

Exhaust Service Required — See Dealer Now
This message indicates regeneration has been disabled due to a system malfunction.
The Powertrain control Module (PCM) will register a fault code and the instrument
panel will display the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
CAUTION!
See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could occur soon
with continued operation.
Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See Dealer
The PCM derates the engine in order to limit the likelihood of permanent damage to
the after-treatment system. If this condition is not corrected and a dealer service is
not performed, extensive exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. Have your
vehicle serviced by your local authorized dealer.
NOTE:
Failing to follow the oil change indicator, changing your oil and resetting the oil
change indicator by 0 miles remaining will prevent the diesel exhaust filter from
performing it's cleaning routine. This will shortly result in a Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) and reduced engine power. Only an authorized dealer will be able to
correct this condition.
CAUTION!
See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could occur with the
exhaust filter full.
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) sometimes known simply by the name of its active
component, UREA – is a key component of selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
systems, which help diesel vehicles meet stringent emission regulations. DEF is a
liquid reducing agent that reacts with engine exhaust in the presence of a catalyst to
convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.
Your vehicle is equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction system in order to meet
the very stringent diesel emissions standards required by the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is the first and only technology in
decades to be as good for the environment as it is good for business and vehicle
performance.

Adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid
The DEF gauge (located in the DID) will display the level of DEF remaining in the
tank.
Completely fill the DEF tank through the diesel exhaust fluid fill location (located
behind the fuel door) at every maintenance interval or before if prompted by the
Driver Information Display (DID).
NOTE:
• The gauge may take up to five seconds to update after adding a gallon or more ofDiesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to the DEF tank. If you have a fault related to the DEF
system, the gauge may not update to the new level. See your authorized dealer for
service.
• The DEF gauge may also not immediately update after a refill if the temperature of the DEF fluid is below 12F (-11C). The DEF line heater will possibly warm up the
DEF fluid and allow the gauge to update after a period of run time. Under very cold
conditions, it is possible that the gauge may not reflect the new fill level for several
drives.
NOTE:
• Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed, load, etc.) will effect the
amount of DEF that is used in your
vehicle.
• Since DEF will begin to freeze at 12°F (-11°C), your vehicle is equipped with
an automatic DEF heating system.
This allows the DEF injection system to
operate properly at temperatures be-
low 12°F (-11°C).
