KNEELING SYSTEM
The kneeling system is designed to
lower the front of the vehicle
approximately 3.5 inches, by
exhausting air from the front axle
suspension air bags.
Kneeling is controlled by a switch,
located on the front instrument
panel.
A warning alarm alerts boarding
passengers that the vehicle is
kneeling or rising.
Brake and accelerator interlocks are
energized during the kneeling
position.

Operating Procedure
Lowering the vehicle
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete
stop. Push the front door
control button to open the front
doors.
NOTE
The kneeling system will only
operate when the doors are
open.
NOTE
Releasing the kneeling switch at
any time during the lowering of
the vehicle will stop the kneeling
operation and retain the vehicle
height in that position. Release
the kneeling switch while
kneeling the vehicle. This will

front instrument panel will
illuminate whenever the kneeling
