1. Make sure that there is nothing under, in front

stowed position before folding a rear seat.2. Press the automatic
seat release button
located on the

There will be a slight delay between the folding
of the seatback and the tumbling of the seat.

If you put things inside your vehicle – like
suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else – they
go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to
stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they’ll
keep going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can
strike and injure people in a sudden stop
or turn, or in a crash.
Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above the tops of
the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded down
unless you need to.There’s also important loading information for
off-road driving in this manual. See “Loading Your
Vehicle for Off-Road Driving” underOff-Road
Driving on page 359.
Automatic Level Control
The automatic level control rear suspension
comes as a part of the Autoride®suspension. See
Autoride®on page 399.
This type of level control is fully automatic and will
provide a better leveled riding position as well
as better handling under a variety of passenger
and loading conditions. An air compressor
connected to the rear shocks will raise or lower
the rear of the vehicle to maintain proper vehicle
height. The system is activated when the
ignition key is turned to RUN and will automatically
adjust vehicle height thereafter. The system
may exhaust (lower vehicle height) for up to
10 minutes after the ignition key has been turned
to OFF. You may hear the air compressor
operating when the height is being adjusted.
If a weight-distributing hitch is being used, it is
recommended to allow the shocks to in ate,
thereby leveling the vehicle prior to adjusting the
height.
