In 4WD Low, the automatic ride control system raises the
vehicle approximately two inches above its lowest height. Shock
dampening is locked in firm mode. The height change improves
body clearance. The combination of firm dampening and the
height change also provides maximum suspension feedback for
improved off-road safety and performance.
[FV19226( X)03/95]
The vehicle will drop to its lowest position when the ignition is
turned OFF to provide ease of entry and exit of the vehicle.
[FV19229( X)03/95]
As a safety consideration, whenever a door is opened, including
the liftgate and liftgate glass, the system memorizes and
maintains the height at the moment the door was opened. The
system will maintain this height until either the doors are all
closed or vehicle speed exceeds 10 mph (16 km/h).
[FV19234( X)03/95]
An on-board air compressor and solenoids are used to raise and
lower the vehicle. It is normal to occasionally hear a buzz or
clicking from the vehicle even when the ignition is turned off.
The system stays energized for forty minutes after ignition is
turned off to compensate for any load changes made after the
vehicle is parked.

The automatic ride control system operation can be monitored
through the message center. Refer to Message Center in the
Warning Lights and Gauges chapter for more details.

Service Switch
[FV19243( X)08/94]
The automatic ride control service switch is mounted in the jack
storage area. The switch should be turned off to disable the
automatic ride control system during jacking, hoisting, towing,
or transport of the vehicle to avoid unexpected vehicle
movement.
