and lowering pattern which keeps the headlights from
incorrectly 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.

matic 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. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further information. Driving the
vehicle over 5 mph (8 km/h) will return the air suspen-
sion to normal operation. Refer to “Jacking and Tire
