2. Push the black buttons on the bleed valves for a softer ride. Separate
bleed valves allow independent adjustment of front and rear shocks.
Note:Do not operate the compressor for more than 30 seconds at a
time. Allow the compressor to cool down for one minute between
operations.
Note:Stop compressor operation when the arrow on the gauge reaches
maximum. Continuing to supply pressure will not make the shocks any
firmer and damage to the system will occur.
The following table is an example of typical settings for the suspension.
Setting Front Rear
High-speed firm ride 8 6
Slow-speed soft ride 2 2
Towing 5 8
LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL
General information
Your vehicle may be equipped with a locking rear differential; vehicles
equipped with this differential should be identified by a ªCautionº label
mounted on the instrument panel. Vehicle handling characteristcs will be
different than a conventional differential. Examples of this would be:
²When turning a corner, the sound of component disengagement and
re-engagement may be audible, and the transfer of driving torque from
both wheels to one wheel may be noticeable.
²When going from drive (acceleration) to coast (deceleration) in a
turn, a ªmetallicº sound may be heard as torque flow is reversed
(inside wheel engaged during acceleration; outside wheel engaged
during deceleration).
²When negotiating a turn (outside wheel disengaged), the inside wheel
under conditions of poor traction may receive excessive torque, which
could cause it to break traction momentarily until its speed is equal to
the outside wheel. This will result in re-engagement of the outside
wheel thus allowing both wheels to be driven. This condition is most
noticeable with lightly loaded axles.
