Description
• Normal Ride Height (NRH) - This is the standard position of the suspension and is
meant for normal driving.
• Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle approximately 1 in (26 mm) - This position
should be the primary position for all off-road driving until Off Road 2 (OR2) is
needed. A smoother and more comfortable ride will result. To enter OR1, press the
“Up” button once from the NRH position while the vehicle speed is below 35 mph
(56 km/h). When in the OR1 position, if the vehicle speed remains between 40 mph
(64 km/h) and 50 mph (80 km/h) for greater than 20 seconds or if the vehicle speed
exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h), the vehicle will be automatically lowered to NRH.
Off-Road 1 may not be available due to vehicle payload, an EVIC message will be
displayed when this occurs. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
• Off-Road 2 (OR2) (Raises the vehicle approximately 2 in (51 mm) - This position is
intended for off-roading use only where maximum ground clearance is required. To
enter OR2, press the “Up” button twice from the NRH position or once from the OR1
position while vehicle speed is below 20 mph (32 km/h). While in OR2, if the vehicle
speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h) the vehicle height will be automatically lowered to
OR1. Off-Road 2 may not be available due to vehicle payload, an EVIC message will
be displayed when this occurs. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
• Aero Mode (Lowers the vehicle approximately .6 in (15 mm) – 1500 Models Only - This
position provides improved aerodynamics by lowering the vehicle. The vehicle will
automatically enter Aero Mode when the vehicle speed remains between 62 mph
(100 km/h) and 66 mph (106 km/h) for greater than 20 seconds or if the vehicle
speed exceeds 66 mph (106 km/h). The vehicle will return to NRH from Aero Mode
if the vehicle speed remains between 30 mph (48 km/h) and 35 mph (56 km/h) for
greater than 20 seconds or if the vehicle speed falls below 30 mph (48 km/h).

Aero Mode may be disabled through vehicle settings in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) or in the Uconnect ® 8.4 Radio (If Equipped).
• Entry/Exit Mode (Lowers the vehicle approximately 2 in (51 mm) - This position lowers
the vehicle for easier passenger entry and exit as well as lowering the rear of the
vehicle for easier loading and unloading of cargo. To enter Entry/Exit Mode, press
the “Down” button once from the NHR while the vehicle speed is below 33 mph
(53 km/h). Once the vehicle speed goes below 15 mph (24 km/h) the vehicle
height will begin to lower. If the vehicle speed remains between 15 mph (24 km/h)
and 25 mph (40 km/h) for greater than 60 seconds, or the vehicle speed exceeds
25 mph (40 km/h) the Entry/Exit change will be cancelled. To return to Normal
Height Mode, press the “Up” button once while in Entry/Exit or drive the vehicle
over 15 mph (24 km/h). Entry/Exit mode may not be available due to vehicle
payload, an EVIC message will be displayed when this occurs. Refer to "Electronic
