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.
NEUTRAL (N) Switch

remains between 52 mph (83 km/h) and 56 mph
(90 km/h) for greater than 20 seconds or if the vehicle
speed exceeds 56 mph (90 km/h). The vehicle will return
to NRH from Aero Mode if the vehicle speed remains
between 20 mph (32 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h) for
greater than 20 seconds or if the vehicle speed falls
below 20 mph (32 km/h). The vehicle will enter Aero
Mode, regardless of vehicle speed if the vehicle is in
“SPORT” mode.
• Entry/Exit Mode (Lowers the vehicle approximately 1.6
inces (40 mm) – This position lowers the vehicle for
easier passenger entry and exit as well as lowering the
rear of the vehicle for easier loading and unloading of
cargo. To enter Entry/Exit Mode, push the “DOWN”
button once from (NRH) while the vehicle speed is
below 25 mph (40 km/h). Once the vehicle speed goes
below 15 mph (24 km/h) the vehicle height will begin to
lower. If the vehicle speed remains between 15 mph
(24 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h) for greater than 60
seconds, or the vehicle speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h)
the Entry/Exit Mode change will be cancelled. To exit
Entry/Exit Mode, press the “Up” button once while in
Entry/Exit Mode or drive the vehicle over 15 mph
(24 km/h). NOTE:
Automatic lowering of the vehicle into Entry/Exit
Mode can be enabled through the Uconnect Touch-Screen
Radio. If this feature is enabled, the vehicle will only lower
if the gear selector is in PARK, the terrain switch is in
AUTO, the transfer-case is in AUTO” and the vehicle
level should be either in Normal or Aero Mode. The Vehicle
will not automatically lower if the air suspension level is in
Off Rd 2 or Off Rd 1. If the vehicle is equipped with
Intrusion Theft Module (ITM), the lowering will be sup-
pressed when the ignition is switched OFF and the door is
open to prevent setting the alarm off.
The Selec-Terrain switch will automatically change the
vehicle to the proper height based on the position of the
Selec-Terrain switch. The height can be changed from the
default Selec-Terrain setting by normal use of the air
suspension buttons. Refer to “Selec-Terrain” in “Starting
And Operating” for further information.
The system requires that the engine be running for all
changes. When lowering the vehicle all of the doors,
including the liftgate, must be closed. If a door is opened at
any time while the vehicle is lowering the change will not
be completed until the open door(s) is closed.

needs to be taken to the dealer for service. Refer to
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel” for further information.
NOTE:
•Even if the power steering assistance is no longer
operational, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under
these conditions there will be a substantial increase in
steering effort, especially at low speeds and during
parking maneuvers.
• If the condition persists, see your authorized dealer for
service.
SPEED CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
When engaged, the Speed Control takes over accelerator
operations at speeds greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).
The Speed Control buttons are located on the right side of
the steering wheel. NOTE:
In order to ensure proper operation, the Speed
Control System has been designed to shut down if multiple
Speed Control functions are operated at the same time. If
this occurs, the Speed Control System can be reactivated by
pushing the Speed Control on/off button and resetting the
desired vehicle set speed.

To Deactivate
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANC button,
or normal brake pressure while slowing the vehicle will
deactivate the Speed Control without erasing the set speed
from memory.
Pushing the on/off button or turning the ignition switch
OFF erases the set speed from memory.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) — IF
EQUIPPED
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving con-
venience provided by cruise control while traveling on
highways and major roadways. However, it is not a safety
system and not designed to prevent collisions. Speed
Control function performs differently. Please refer to the
proper section within this chapter.
ACC will allow you to keep cruise control engaged in light
to moderate traffic conditions without the constant need to
reset your cruise control. ACC utilizes a radar sensor and a
forward facing camera designed to detect a vehicle directly
ahead of you.NOTE:
•
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead of you, ACC
will maintain a fixed set speed.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will
apply limited braking or accelerate (not to exceed the
original set speed) automatically to maintain a preset
following distance, while matching the speed of the
vehicle ahead.
The Cruise Control system has two control modes:
• Adaptive Cruise Control mode for maintaining an ap-
propriate distance between vehicles.
• Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control mode for cruising
at a constant preset speed. For additional information,
refer to “Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode” in
this section.
NOTE: Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control will not react
to preceding vehicles. Always be aware of the mode
selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise Control
buttons. The two control modes function differently. Al-
ways confirm which mode is selected.
