ODE MESSAGE — ELECTRICAL LOAD
R
EDUCTION ACTIONS (IF EQUIPPED)
This vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor
(IBS) to perform additional monitoring of the electrical
system and status of the vehicle battery.
In cases when the IBS detects charging system failure, or
the vehicle battery conditions are deteriorating, electrical
load reduction actions will take place to extend the driving
time and distance of the vehicle. This is done by reducing
power to or turning off non-essential electrical loads.
Load reduction is only active when the engine is running.
It will display a message if there is a risk of battery
depletion to the point where the vehicle may stall due to
lack of electrical supply, or will not restart after the current
drive cycle.

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.

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.

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.

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.
