Sand/Mud – Off-road calibration

for use on low traction surfaces such
as mud, sand, or wet grass. Driveline
is maximized for traction. Some
binding may be felt on less forgiving
surfaces. The electronic brake controls
are set to limit traction control
management of throttle and wheel
spin.

Rock – Off-road calibration only

available in 4WD Low range. The
vehicle is raised (if equipped with Air
Suspension) for improved ground
clearance. Traction based tuning with
improved steer-ability for use on high
traction off-road surfaces. Activates
the Hill Descent Control for steep
downhill control. Use for low speed
obstacles such as large rocks, deep
ruts, etc.

Quadra-Lift™

• The Quadra-Lift™ air suspension

system provides full time load leveling
capability along with the benefit of
being able to adjust vehicle height by
the push of a button. Quadra-Lift™ is
available with both Quadra-Trac II

®

and Quadra-Drive II™.

• The system requires that the engine be

running for all changes. When
lowering the vehicle all of the doors,
including the liftgate, must be closed.

• The Quadra-Lift™ air suspension

system uses a lifting and lowering
pattern 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.
