7. When the NEUTRAL (N) indicator light turns off,release the NEUTRAL (N) button.
8. After the NEUTRAL (N) button has been released, the transfer case will shift to the position indicated by the
selector switch.
Quadra-Drive II System — If Equipped
The optional Quadra-Drive II System features two torque
transfer couplings. The couplings include an Electronic
Limited-Slip Differential (ELSD) rear axle and the Quadra-
Trac II transfer case. The optional ELSD axle is fully
automatic and requires no driver input to operate. Under normal driving conditions, the unit functions as a standard
axle, balancing torque evenly between left and right
wheels. With a traction difference between left and right
wheels, the coupling will sense a speed difference. As one
wheel begins to spin faster than the other, torque will
automatically transfer from the wheel that has less traction,
to the wheel that has traction. While the transfer case and
axle coupling differ in design, their operation is similar.
Follow the Quadra-Trac II transfer case shifting informa-
tion, preceding this section, for shifting this system.
QUADRA-LIFT — IF EQUIPPED
Description
The Quadra-Lift air suspension system provides full time
load leveling capability along with the benefit of vehicle
height adjustment by the push of a button. The vehicle will
automatically raise and lower the ride height to adapt to
the appropriate driving conditions. At higher speeds, the
vehicle will lower to an aerodynamic ride height and when
operating in off-road modes, the vehicle will raise the ride
height accordingly. The buttons near the terrain switch in
the center console area can be used to set preferred ride
height to match the appropriate conditions.

water to get into the power distribution center and
possibly result in an electrical system failure.

CAUTION! (Continued)
•When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use
only a fuse having the correct amperage rating. The
use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may
result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a
properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a
problem in the circuit that must be corrected.
416 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine
coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator. If you
see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not
open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool.
Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when
the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your
vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads HOT (H), pull
over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back
into the normal range. If the pointer remains on HOT
(H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine
off immediately and call for service.
MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the
parking brake, before activating the Manual Park
Release. Activating the Manual Park Release will al-
low your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured by the
parking brake or by proper connection to a tow vehicle.
Activating the Manual Park Release on an unsecured
vehicle could lead to serious injury or death for those
in or around the vehicle.
In order to move the vehicle in cases where the transmis-
sion will not shift out of PARK (such as a dead battery), a
Manual Park Release is available.
Follow these steps to use the Manual Park Release:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Open the center console and locate the Manual Park Release cover, remove it by snapping the cover away
from the console hinges.
