Automatic Level Control
The automatic level control rear
suspension comes as a part
of the Continuous Damping
Control (CDC). See Continuous
Damping Control (CDC) on
page 9‑48.
This type of level control is fully
automatic and will provide a
better leveled riding position as
well as better handling under a
variety of passenger and loading
conditions. An air compressor
connected to the rear shocks
will raise or lower the rear of
the vehicle to maintain proper
vehicle height. The system is
activated when the ignition key
is turned to ON/RUN and will
automatically adjust vehicle
height thereafter. The system
may exhaust (lower vehicle
height) for up to 10 minutes after
the ignition key has been turned
to OFF/LOCK. You may hear the
air compressor operating when
the height is being adjusted.
If a weight-distributing hitch is
being used, it is recommended
to allow the shocks to inflate,
thereby leveling the vehicle prior
to adjusting the height. See
“Weight Distributing Hitches
and Weight Carrying Hitches”
under Towing Equipment on
page 9‑72.
Truck-Camper Loading

designed nor intended to carry

Notice: Adding a slide-in
camper or similar equipment
to the vehicle can damage it,
and the repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not install a
slide-in camper or similar
equipment on the vehicle.
