Ride Height Descriptions
Entry/Exit
Entry/Exit height is the lowest height
option. This ride height lowers the vehicle
for easy entry and exit, and loading and
unloading of cargo.
This ride height can be selected in the Ride
Height Menu at any vehicle speed; but will
not lower until the vehicle slows.
The vehicle automatically raises to Normal
height from Entry/Exit height when the
vehicle speed increases.
The driver can enable Easy Exit Vehicle
Height Mode to automatically lower to
Entry/Exit Height when the vehicle is shifted to P (Park). Easy Exit Vehicle Height Mode
may be enabled via the infotainment screen
under Settings > Vehicle > Ride Height.
When the vehicle is higher than Normal
height, Easy Exit Vehicle Height Mode is
disabled. When the vehicle is in Tow/Haul
Mode, Off-Road Mode, Terrain Mode, or it
senses a trailer is connected, Easy Exit
Vehicle Height Mode is disabled.
Aerodynamic
Aerodynamic height is lower than Normal
height. The vehicle automatically lowers the
vehicle at higher vehicle speeds to improve
aerodynamics. This is not a selectable option
on the Ride Height menu.
The vehicle will raise to Normal height when
the vehicle slows.
Aerodynamic height is automatically
disabled when a trailer is connected to the
vehicle, Tow/Haul mode is active, or the
vehicle is at Increased Height.
Normal
Normal height is the standard vehicle height
used for everyday driving.
Increased
Increased height is higher than Normal
height. This ride height raises the vehicle for
off-road use. Increased height can be
selected in the Ride Height Menu while
vehicle speed is slower than average speeds.
Maximum
Maximum height is higher than Increased
height. This ride height raises the vehicle for
off-road use and maximum ground
clearance. Maximum height can be selected
in the Ride Height Menu while vehicle speed
is slower. When the vehicle speeds up, the
vehicle will lower to Increased height.
Suspension Modes
The air suspension has two special modes,
Service Mode and Alignment Mode, located
in the infotainment screen under Settings >
Vehicle > Suspension.
Service Mode
Service Mode will disable all air suspension
operation including raising and lowering the
vehicle and operation of the air compressor.
This mode is useful when the vehicle is
being towed on a flat bed or when any
work under the vehicle is being performed.

Driving and Operating 213
Service Mode is recommended when the
vehicle is put on a hoist or a floor jack is
used to raise a corner. Service Mode
automatically disables when the vehicle
speeds up.
Alignment Mode
Alignment Mode will optimize the vehicle
height to provide the most accurate wheel
alignment. This mode should be enabled
once the vehicle is driven onto the
alignment station.
To enable Alignment Mode, ensure the
vehicle is at Normal Height and shift the
vehicle to N (Neutral). Alignment Mode
automatically disables when the vehicle
speeds up.
Air Suspension Operation with Door(s) or
Hood Open
The air suspension will temporarily suspend
all height changes while the hood or any
door is open.
System Over-Temperature
If the air suspension is under heavy use, the
system may temporarily suspend all height
changes to allow the compressor to cool
down. When this occurs and a heightchange is requested, the message LEVELING
SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE will display in the
instrument cluster.
Air Suspension Service
If a SERVICE LEVELING SYSTEM message
displays in the instrument cluster, see your
authorized dealer immediately.
Cruise Control
If equipped, cruise control allows the vehicle
to maintain a set speed of 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more without active
acceleration. Cruise control does not work at
speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph).
{Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady
speed. Do not use cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
Cruise control will disengage if:
.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system begins to limit wheel spin.
See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0207.
.TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC is turned off.
.A collision alert occurs. See Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 0261.
.The brakes are applied.
When road conditions allow cruise control to
be safely used, cruise control can be turned
back on.

{Warning
When using ACC to pass a vehicle or
perform a lane change, the following
distance to the vehicle being passed may
be reduced. ACC may not apply sufficient
acceleration or braking when passing a
vehicle or performing a lane change.
Always be ready to manually accelerate
or brake to complete the pass or lane
change.
Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects
{Warning
ACC may not detect and react to stopped
or slow-moving vehicles ahead of you. For
example, the system may not brake for a
vehicle it has never detected moving. This
can occur in stop-and-go traffic or when a
vehicle suddenly appears due to a vehicle
ahead changing lanes. Your vehicle may
not stop and could cause a crash. Use
caution when using ACC. Your complete
attention is always required while driving
and you should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes. Irregular Objects Affecting ACC
ACC may have difficulty detecting the
following objects:
.Vehicles with cargo extending from the
back end.
.Non-standard shaped vehicles, such as
vehicle transport, vehicles with a side car
fitted, or horse carriages.
.Objects that are close to the front of your
vehicle.
ACC Automatically Disengages
ACC may automatically disengage and the
driver will need to manually apply the
brakes to slow the vehicle if:
.The sensors are blocked.
.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/ESC system has activated or
has been disabled.
.If equipped with Air Suspension, the
vehicle ride height is outside normal
operating range. See Air Suspension0211.
.There is a fault in the system.
.The radar falsely reports a blockage when
driving in a remote area with no other
vehicles or roadside objects.
A DIC message may display to indicate that
ACC is temporarily unavailable. The ACC indicator light will turn white when
ACC is disengaged.
In some cases, when ACC is temporarily
unavailable, regular cruise control may be
used. See
“Switching Between ACC and
Regular Cruise Control” previously in this
section. Always consider driving conditions
before using either cruise control mode.
Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a follow distance gap
behind a detected vehicle, and will slow
down your vehicle to a stop behind that
vehicle.
If the stopped vehicle ahead has driven
away and ACC has not resumed, the vehicle
ahead indicator will flash as a reminder to
check traffic ahead before proceeding. In
addition, the left and right sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse three times,
or three beeps will sound. To view available
settings from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems > Alert Type > Adaptive Cruise Go
Notifier.

flash as an extra warning not to change
lanes. Since this system is part of the Lane
Change Alert (LCA) system, read the entire
LCA section before using this feature.
Lane Change Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the LCA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers with
avoiding lane change crashes that occur with
moving vehicles in the side blind zone
(or spot) areas or with vehicles rapidly
approaching these areas from behind. The
LCA warning display will light up in the
corresponding outside mirror and will flash
if the turn signal is on.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) is included as
part of the LCA system.
{Warning
LCA does not alert the driver to vehicles
outside of the system detection zones,
pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals. It may
not provide alerts when changing lanes
under all driving conditions. Failure to use
proper care when changing lanes may
result in injury, death, or vehicle damage.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Before making a lane change, always
check mirrors, glance over your shoulder,
and use the turn signals.
LCA Detection Zones
1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. LCA Detection Zone
The LCA sensor covers a zone of
approximately one lane over from both
sides of the vehicle, or 3.5 m (11 ft). The
height of the zone is approximately between
0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2 m (6 ft) off the ground.
The Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) warning
area starts at approximately the middle of
the vehicle and goes back 5 m (16 ft). Drivers are also warned of vehicles rapidly
approaching from up to 70 m (230 ft) behind
the vehicle.
How the System Works
The LCA symbol lights up in the side mirrors
when the system detects a moving vehicle
in the next lane over that is in the side
blind zone or rapidly approaching that zone
from behind. A lit LCA symbol indicates it
may be unsafe to change lanes. Before
making a lane change, check the LCA
display, check mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use the turn signals.
Left Side Mirror
DisplayRight Side Mirror Display
When the vehicle is started, both outside
mirror LCA displays will briefly come on to
indicate the system is operating. When the
vehicle is in a forward gear, the left or right
side mirror display will light up if a moving
vehicle is detected in the next lane over in
that blind zone or rapidly approaching that
