132STARTING AND OPERATING
Selec-Terrain consists of the following positions:
ROCK (if equipped) – Off-road calibration is only avail -
able in 4WD LOW. The vehicle is raised (if equipped
with Air Suspension) for improved ground clearance.
Traction-based tuning with improved steerability for
use on high traction off-road surfaces. Use for low
speed obstacles such as large rocks, deep ruts, etc. If
equipped with air suspension, the vehicle level will
change to Off-Road 2 (OR2). If the Selec-Terrain switch
is in ROCK mode, and the transfer case is switched
from 4WD LOW to 4WD HI, the Selec-Terrain system
will return to AUTO.
 SAND (if equipped) – Off-road calibration for use on low
traction surfaces such as sand or wet grass. Driveline
is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on
less forgiving surfaces. The electronic brake controls
are set to limit traction control management of throttle
and wheel spin. If equipped with air suspension, the
default ride height for SAND is Normal Ride Height
(NRH).
 MUD (if equipped) – Off-road calibration for use on low
traction surfaces such as mud. Driveline is maximized
for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving
surfaces. The electronic brake controls are set to limit
traction control management of throttle and wheel
spin. If equipped with air suspension, the level will
change to Off-Road 1 (OR1). 
SNOW – Tuning set for additional stability in inclement
weather. Use on and off road on loose traction surfaces
such as snow. When in SNOW mode (depending on
certain operating conditions), the transmission may
use SECOND gear (rather than FIRST gear) during
launches, to minimize wheel slippage. If equipped with
air suspension, the default ride height for SNOW is
Normal Ride Height (NRH).
 AUTO – Fully automatic full-time four-wheel drive oper -
ation can be used on and off road. Balances traction
with seamless steering feel to provide improved
handling and acceleration over two-wheel drive vehi -
cles. If equipped with air suspension, the level will
change to Normal Ride Height (NRH).
 SPORT – This mode alters the transmission's auto -
matic shift schedule for sportier driving. Upshift speeds
are increased to make full use of available engine
power. Steering efforts are modified for sporty driving.
If equipped with air suspension, the level will change to
Aero Height.

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 a toggle switch. 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 (if
equipped), 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.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 132

STARTING AND OPERATING133
Normal Ride Height (NRH) – This is the standard posi -
tion of the suspension and is meant for normal driving.
 Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle approximately
1.2 inches [30 mm]) – This is the primary position for
all off-road driving until OR2 is needed. A smoother and
more comfortable ride will result. Push the toggle
switch forward once from the NRH position while the
vehicle speed is below 38 mph (61 km/h). When in the
OR1 position, if the vehicle speed remains between
40 mph (64 km/h) and 50 mph (80 km/h) for greater than 20 seconds or if the vehicle speed exceeds
50 mph (80 km/h), the vehicle will be automatically
lowered to NRH
Úpage 193. OR1 is unavailable on
4x2 air suspension vehicles.
 Off-Road 2 (OR2) (Raises the vehicle approximately
2.0 inches [51 mm]) – This position is intended for
off-roading use only where maximum ground clearance
is required. To enter OR2, push the toggle switch
forward twice from the NRH position or once from the
OR1 position while vehicle speed is below 20 mph
(32 km/h). While in OR2, if the vehicle speed exceeds
25 mph (40 km/h) the vehicle height will be automati -
cally lowered to OR1
Úpage 193. OR2 is unavailable
on 4x2 air suspension vehicles.
 Aero Height (Lowers the vehicle approximately
-0.6 inches [-15 mm]) – This position provides
improved aerodynamics by lowering the vehicle. The
vehicle will automatically enter Aero Height when the
vehicle speed remains between 62 mph (100 km/h)
and 66 mph (106 km/h) for greater than 20 seconds
or if the vehicle speed exceeds 66 mph (106 km/h). The vehicle will return to Default Ride Height from Aero
Height if the vehicle speed remains between 30 mph
(48 km/h) and 35 mph (56 km/h) for greater than
20 seconds or if the vehicle speed falls below 30 mph
(48 km/h). The vehicle will enter Aero Height, regard
-
less of vehicle speed if the vehicle is in “SPORT” mode.
 Entry/Exit Height (Lowers the vehicle approximately
-1.6 inches [-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 Height, push the
toggle switch down twice from NRH while the vehicle
speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h). To exit Entry/Exit
Height, push the UP button once while in Entry/Exit
Height or drive the vehicle over 4 mph (6 km/h).
NOTE:Automatic lowering of the vehicle into Entry/Exit Height
can be enabled through the Uconnect Touchscreen 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 is either in
Normal or Aero Height. The vehicle will not automatically
lower if the air suspension level is in OR2 or OR1. When
towing, the automatic Entry/Exit feature may be disabled
through the Uconnect Touchscreen Radio to prevent
vehicle and trailer movement when gear selector is moved
to PARK. The Selec-Terrain system 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
Úpage 131.
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/are closed.
The Quadra-Lift Air Suspension system uses a lifting 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.
After the engine is turned off, it may be noticed that the air
suspension system operates briefly; this is normal. The
system is correcting the position of the vehicle to ensure a
proper appearance.
To assist with changing a spare tire, the Quadra-Lift Air
Suspension system has a feature which allows the
automatic leveling to be disabled
Úpage 197.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 134

STARTING AND OPERATING135
OPERATION
The indicator lamps 1 through 5 will illuminate to show the
current position of the vehicle. Flashing indicator lamps
will show a position which the system is working to
achieve. When raising, if multiple indicator lamps are
flashing while raising, the highest flashing indicator lamp
is the position the system is working to achieve. When
lowering, if multiple indicators are flashing while lowering
the lowest solid indicator lamp is the position the system
is working to achieve.
Toggle up once moves the suspension one position higher
from the current position, assuming all conditions are met
(i.e., engine running, speed below threshold, etc.). Toggle
up can be pushed multiple times. Each toggle up will raise
the requested level by one position up to a maximum
position of OR2 or the highest position allowed based on
current conditions (i.e., vehicle speed, etc.).
Toggle down once moves the suspension one position
lower from the current level, assuming all conditions are
met (i.e., engine running, doors closed, speed below
threshold, etc.). Toggle down can be pushed multiple
times. Each toggle down will lower the requested level by
one position down to a minimum of Park mode or the
lowest position allowed based on current conditions (i.e.,
vehicle speed, etc.) Automatic height changes will occur based on vehicle
speed and the current vehicle height. The indicator lamps
and instrument cluster display messages will operate the
same for automatic changes and user requested changes.

FUEL SAVER TECHNOLOGY 5.7L AND 6.4L
ONLY — IF EQUIPPED
This feature offers improved fuel economy by shutting off
four of the engine's eight cylinders during light load and
cruise conditions. The system is automatic with no driver
inputs or additional driving skills required.
NOTE:This system may take some time to return to full function -
ality after a battery disconnect.
POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system is designed to provide
increased vehicle response and ease of maneuverability
in tight spaces. The power steering system adapts to
different driving conditions. If the electric power steering
system experiences a fault that prevents it from providing
assist, you will still have the ability to steer the vehicle
manually.
NOTE:Alternate electric power steering efforts can be selected
through the Uconnect System Úpage 197.
If the Electric Power Steering warning icon is
displayed and the “SERVICE POWER
STEERING” or the “POWER STEERING ASSIST
OFF – SERVICE SYSTEM” message is displayed
within the instrument cluster display, this indicates the

STARTING AND OPERATING139
(Continued)
USING CRUISE CONTROL ON HILLS
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the
vehicle set speed.
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up and down
hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it
may be preferable to drive without Cruise Control.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the RES button
and release. Resume can be used at any speed above
20 mph (32 km/h).
To Deactivate
A tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANC button, or
normal brake pressure while slowing the vehicle will
deactivate the Cruise Control system without erasing the
set speed from memory. The following conditions will also deactivate the Cruise
Control without erasing the set speed from memory:

Vehicle parking brake is applied
 Stability event occurs
 Gear selector is moved out of DRIVE
 Engine overspeed occurs
Pushing the on/off button or placing the ignition in the OFF
position, will also erase the set speed from memory.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving
convenience provided by Cruise Control while traveling on
highways and major roadways. However, it is not a safety
system and not designed to prevent collisions. The Cruise
Control function performs differently
Úpage 138.
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 ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will
apply limited braking or acceleration (not to exceed the
original set speed) automatically to maintain a preset
following distance, while matching the speed of the
vehicle ahead. 
Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifications to
the vehicle will affect the performance of the Adaptive
Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning system.
 In vehicles NOT equipped with the Active Driving Assist
system, Fixed Speed Cruise Control (ACC not enabled)
will not detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always be
aware of the feature selected
Úpage 382.
WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the system
cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could
go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control
and have an accident. Do not use Cruise Control in
heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.
WARNING!
 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience
system. It is not a substitute for active driver involve -
ment. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be
attentive of road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead and,
most importantly, brake operation to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road conditions.
Your complete attention is always required while
driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in a colli -
sion and death or serious personal injury.
 The ACC system:
 Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehi -
cles, and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped
vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
 Cannot take street, traffic, and weather condi -
tions into account, and may be limited upon
adverse sight distance conditions.
