Modes:
• Comfort – Provides a more relaxed
driving experience, maximizing comfort.
Your steering effort decreases and the
suspension movement is more fluid.
Comfort mode is ideal when you desire
enhanced traveling comfort.
• Normal – Delivers a balanced
combination of comfortable, controlled
ride and confident handling. This mode
provides an engaging drive experience
and a direct connection to the road
without sacrificing any of the
composure demanded from your
vehicle.
• Sport – Provides a sportier driving
experience. The suspension stiffens,
with an emphasis on handling and
control. The engine responds more
directly to your inputs. Sport mode is
ideal for use during more spirited
driving.
Adaptive Steering
You can configure which of the modes are
active from the main menu on the
information display. See General
Information (page 92).
Modes:
• Normal – Default factory setting.
• Sport – Slightly higher effort required
for steering with more road force felt
through the steering wheel.
Note: The Drive Control has diagnostic
checks that continuously monitor the
system to ensure proper operation. Certain
types of system errors will gray out the
mode selections within the information
display, preventing you from changing states
when the gear position is changed. Other
types of errors will produce a temporary
message that states a malfunction. If either
condition persists for multiple key cycles,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.
SELF-LEVELING SUSPENSION
The self-leveling suspension system is
designed to improve ride, handling and
general vehicle performance during:
• Certain road conditions
• Steering maneuvers
• Braking
• Acceleration
• Towing
This system keeps the rear of your vehicle
at a constant level through a hydraulic
pump inside each rear shock. Depending
on the payload or road surface conditions
it will take approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) for
the leveling to complete.
If the loaded vehicle is not moved for
approximately 12 hours, the leveling system
may bleed down to a lower height. This
can be especially apparent if a trailer is left
attached to the parked vehicle for long
periods of time. You must drive your vehicle
in order to re-level the suspension.
If a self-equalizing hitch is used, your
vehicle should be driven approximately
2 mi (3.2 km) with the trailer prior to
adjusting (leveling) the hitch.
