Add-On Equipment
When you carry removable
items, you may need to put a
limit on how many people you
can carry inside your vehicle. Be
sure to weigh your vehicle
before you buy and install the
new equipment.
Notice:
Overloading the
vehicle may cause damage.
Repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do
not overload the vehicle.
Remember not to exceed the
Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) of the front or rear axle.
Automatic Level Control
The automatic level control rear
suspension comes as a part of
the Road Sensing Suspension.
See
Road Sensing Suspension
on page 9

.
This type of level control is fully
automatic and will provide a
better levelled riding position as
well as better handling under a
variety of passenger and loading
conditions. An air compressor
connected to the rear shocks
will raise or lower the rear of the
vehicle to maintain proper
vehicle height. The system is
activated when the ignition key
is turned to RUN and will
automatically adjust vehicle
height thereafter. The system
may exhaust (lower vehicle
height) for up to 10 minutes after
the ignition key has been turned
to LOCK. You may hear the air
compressor operating when the
height is being adjusted.
If a weight-distributing hitch is
being used, it is recommended
to allow the shocks to inflate,
thereby levelling the vehicle
prior to adjusting the height. See
"Weight distributing Hitches and
Weight Carrying Hitches" under
