[FV19210( X)06/94]
Automatic Ride Control System
(If equipped)
[FV19213( X)03/95]
The automatic ride control system is designed to improve ride,
handling, and general vehicle performance for both on and
off-road conditions by adjusting vehicle ride height and shock
dampening (firm or soft).
[FV19216( X)08/94]
The system automatically controls the vehicle ride height over a
range of approximately two inches based on vehicle speed and
selection of two or four wheel drive modes. Also, the system
keeps the vehicle at a constant level if a load is added to or
removed from the vehicle.
[FV19218( X)03/95]
The automatic ride control system places the vehicle at its
lowest height when two wheel drive is selected. Shock
dampening is automatically set based on driver and road inputs
to optimize ride.
[FV19220( X)03/95]
The automatic ride control system raises the vehicle
approximately one inch when Auto 4WD is selected. However,
if vehicle speed exceeds 58 mph (93 km/h), the system will
lower the vehicle to its two wheel drive height to maximize ride
comfort. The vehicle will raise again if vehicle speed is less than
30 mph (48 km/h) for one minute. Like the two wheel drive
mode, shock dampening is automatically set based on driver
and road inputs.
