RADIO SIGNAL DEVICES ON
W
INDSHIELD — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with premium tint infrared
reflective glass (IRR). In the necessity of mounting devices
such as transponders, garage door openers, radar
detectors, or any other device that sends out a radio
signal, please refer to the allocated area on the
windshield. There is a small box located near the
passenger side of the mirror cover. The location is
identifiable by a slight discoloration in the glass due to the

108GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
When load reduction is activated, the message “Battery
Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will appear in the
instrument cluster.
These messages indicate the vehicle battery has a low
state of charge and continues to lose electrical charge at
a rate that the charging system cannot sustain.
NOTE:
The charging system is independent from load reduc -
tion. The charging system performs a diagnostic on the
charging system continuously.
 If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it may indicate
a problem with the charging system
Úpage 109.
The electrical loads that may be switched off (if equipped),
and vehicle functions which can be affected by load
reduction:
 Heated Seat/Vented Seats/Heated Wheel
 Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors
 HVAC System
 115 Volt AC Power Inverter System
 Audio and Telematics System
Loss of the battery charge may indicate one or more of the
following conditions:
 The charging system cannot deliver enough electrical
power to the vehicle system because the electrical
loads are larger than the capability of the charging
system. The charging system is still functioning
properly. 
Turning on all possible vehicle electrical loads (e.g.
HVAC to max settings, exterior and interior lights, over -
loaded power outlets +12 Volt, 115 Volt AC, USB ports)
during certain driving conditions (city driving, towing,
frequent stopping, etc.).
 Installing options like additional lights, upfitter elec -
trical accessories, audio systems, alarms and similar
devices.
 Unusual driving cycles (short trips separated by long
parking periods).
 The vehicle was parked for an extended period of time
(weeks, months).
 The battery was recently replaced and was not charged
completely.
 The battery was discharged by an electrical load left on
when the vehicle was parked.
 The battery was used for an extended period with the
engine not running to supply radio, lights, chargers,
+12 Volt portable appliances like vacuum cleaners,
game consoles and similar devices.
What to do when an electrical load reduction action
message is present (“Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver
Mode”)
During a trip:
 Reduce power to unnecessary loads if possible:
 Turn off redundant lights (interior or exterior)
 Check what may be plugged in to power outlets
+12 Volt, 115 Volt AC, USB ports
 Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature)
 Check the audio settings (volume) After a trip:

Check if any aftermarket equipment was installed
(additional lights, upfitter electrical accessories, audio
systems, alarms) and review specifications if any (load
and Ignition Off Draw currents).
 Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance, driving
time and parking time).
 The vehicle should have service performed if the
message is still present during consecutive trips, and if
the evaluation and driving pattern of the vehicle did not
help to identify the cause.WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in the
instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/
or acoustic signal when applicable. These indications are
indicative and precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner’s Manual, which you
are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to
the information in this chapter in the event of a failure
indication. All active telltales will display first if applicable.
The system check menu may appear different based upon
equipment options and current vehicle status. Some
telltales are optional and may not appear.

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
