114GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Warning Light
The warning light switches on and a message is
displayed to indicate that the tire pressure is
lower than the recommended value and/or
that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these
cases, optimal tire duration and fuel consumption may not
be guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition mentioned
previously, the display will show the indications
corresponding to each tire.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be
checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires. As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly
underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires
as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When
the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may
not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly
Úpage 252.
Towing Hook Breakdown Warning Light —
If Equipped
This light illuminates when there is a failure
with the tow hook. Contact an authorized
dealer for service.
YELLOW INDICATOR LIGHTS
4WD Low Indicator Light — If Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in
the 4WD Low mode. The front and rear
driveshafts are mechanically locked together
forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at
the same speed. Low range provides a greater gear
reduction ratio to provide increased torque at the wheels
Úpage 129.
CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires as
handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle,
avoiding sharp braking and steering. If a tire puncture
occurs, repair immediately using the dedicated tire
repair kit and contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using an
aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended that you
take your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have your
sensor function checked.

134STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:Default Ride Height:
 Select Aero Height or Normal Ride Height as the default
for all vehicle speeds and operation. This is the
selected height that the suspension will level for speed
changes (e.g. raising from Entry/Exit Height at speed,
lowering from Off Road Height at speed, etc.).
 Default ride height can be changed by manually
adjusting the Quadra-Lift switch to Normal Ride Height
or Aero Ride Height and stay in the selected height for
2.5 seconds. It will be stored as the default ride height
and the height will be maintained until a new default
ride height is selected.
If equipped with a Uconnect Touchscreen Radio, all
enabling/disabling of air suspension features must be
done through the radio
Úpage 197.
AIR SUSPENSION MODES
The Air Suspension system has multiple modes to protect
the system in unique situations: Tire/Jack Mode
To assist with changing a spare tire, the air suspension
system has a feature which allows the automatic leveling
to be disabled
Úpage 197. Tire/Jack mode is used for
connecting a trailer with a weight-distributing hitch
Úpage 179.
NOTE:This mode is intended to be enabled with the engine
running.
Auto Entry/Exit Mode
To assist in entering and exiting the vehicle, the air
suspension system has a feature which automatically
lowers the vehicle to Entry/Exit Height
Úpage 197.
NOTE:This mode is intended to be enabled with the engine
running. When towing, the automatic Entry/Exit feature
may be disabled through the Uconnect Touchscreen Radio
to prevent vehicle and trailer movement when the gear
selector is moved to PARK.
Transport Mode
To assist with flatbed towing, the air suspension system
has a feature which will put the vehicle into Entry/Exit
Height and disable the automatic load leveling system
Úpage 197.
NOTE:This mode is intended to be enabled with engine running. Suspension Display Messages Mode
The “Suspension Display Messages” setting allows you to
only display suspension warnings instead of all
suspension messages (i.e., “Normal Height Achieved”)
Úpage 197.
NOTE:This mode is intended to be enabled with the engine
running.
Wheel Alignment Mode
Before performing a wheel alignment this mode must be
enabled which will move the vehicle to Normal Ride Height
and disable the air suspension during the alignment
Úpage 197.
NOTE:This mode is intended to be enabled with the engine
running.
If equipped with a Uconnect Touchscreen Radio, all
enabling/disabling of air suspension features must be
done through the radio
Úpage 197.

SAFETY255
Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.
 Using tire chains on the vehicle.
 Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors.
NOTE:There is no Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensor in the
spare tire. The TPMS will not be able to monitor the tire
pressure. If you install the spare tire in place of a road tire
that has a pressure below the low-pressure warning limit,
upon the next ignition switch cycle, the Tire Pressure Moni -
toring System Warning Light will remain on, a chime will
sound, and the instrument cluster display will still display
a pressure value in the different color graphic display and
an “Inflate to XX” message will be displayed. After driving
the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h),
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
In addition, the instrument cluster display will display a
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for five seconds and
then display dashes (--) in place of the pressure value. For
each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime will sound,
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid,
and the instrument cluster display will display a "SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM" message for five seconds and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure value. Once you repair
or replace the original road tire, and reinstall it on the
vehicle in place of the spare tire, the TPMS will update
automatically.
In addition, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will turn off and the graphic in the instrument cluster
display will display a new pressure value instead of
dashes (--), as long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure warning limit in any of the four active road
tires. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the
TPMS to receive this information.TPMS Deactivation — If Equipped
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can be
deactivated if replacing all four wheel and tire assemblies
(road tires) with wheel and tire assemblies that do not
have TPMS sensors, such as when installing winter wheel
and tire assemblies on your vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with tires not equipped with
Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors. Then, drive the
vehicle for 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the TPMS Warning Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on. The instrument
cluster will display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message
and then display dashes (--) in place of the pressure
values.
Beginning with the next ignition cycle, the TPMS will no
longer chime or display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message in the instrument cluster but dashes (--) will
remain in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four wheel and tire
assemblies (road tires) with tires equipped with TPMS
sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the TPMS
Warning Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
turn off. The instrument cluster will display the “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message and then display pressure values
in place of the dashes. On the next ignition cycle the
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message will no longer be
displayed as long as no system fault exists.
Tire Fill Alert
This feature notifies the user when the placard tire
pressure is attained while inflating or deflating the tire.
The customer may choose to disable or enable the Tire Fill
Alert feature in the apps menu of the Uconnect system.
NOTE:
 The Tire Fill Alert system will only support inflating or
deflating one tire at a time. The user is required to wait
until the hazard lights STOP flashing or 26-30 seconds
after the desired pressure is achieved in one wheel
before switching to another.
 The Tire Fill Alert feature cannot be entered if an
existing TPMS fault is set to “active” or if the system is
in deactivation mode (if equipped).
The system will be activated when the system detects an
increase in tire pressure while filling the tire. The ignition
must be in the ON/RUN mode with the transmission in
PARK.
NOTE:It is not required to have the engine running to enter Tire
Fill Alert mode.
The hazard lights will come on to confirm the vehicle is in
Tire Fill Alert mode. If the hazard lights do not come on
while inflating the tire, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System sensor may be in an inoperative position,
preventing the TPMS sensor signal from being received. In
this case, the vehicle may need to be moved slightly
forward or backward.
