• Normal Ride Height (NRH) – Indicator lamp 4 will be

illuminated when the vehicle is in this position.

• Park Mode – Indicator lamp 3 will be illuminated when

the vehicle is in Park Mode. If Park Mode is requested
while vehicle speed is between 15 mph (24 km/h) and
25 mph (40 km/h), indicator lamp 4 will remain on solid
and indicator lamp 3 will flash as the system waits for the
vehicle to reduce speed. If vehicle speed is reduced to,
and kept below, 15 mph (24 km/h) indicator lamp 4 will
turn off and indicator lamp 3 will flash until Park Mode is
achieved at which point indicator lamp 3 will go solid. If
during the height change to Park Mode, the vehicle speed
exceeds 15 mph (24 km/h), the height change will be
paused until the vehicle speed either goes below 15 mph
(24 km/h) and the height change continues to Park Mode,
or exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h) and the vehicle height will
return to NRH. Park Mode may be selected while the
vehicle is not moving provided that the engine is still
running and all doors remain closed.

ON-ROAD DRIVING TIPS

Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a
narrower track to make them capable of performing in a
wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design
characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than
ordinary cars.

An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better
view of the road, allowing you to anticipate problems.
They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as
conventional two-wheel drive vehicles any more than
low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfacto-
rily in off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp
turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this
type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in
loss of control or vehicle rollover.
