ing on suspension packages, include:
• A ground clearance of 9.9 inches
(25 cm) with a low center of gravity

system. The selectable rear ride height
allows you to raise the rear of the vehi-
cle approximately 2 inches (5 cm) over
the normal ride height for additional
running ground clearance.
To raise the ride height, press the
(Height Control) button (C) located on
the center of the instrument panel. The
indicator light will flash as the vehicle
rises and stay on when the vehicle is at
the extended height.
To use this feature, the engine must be
running, all the doors must be fully
closed, and vehicle speed must be less
than 40 mph (64 km/h).
See Sections 2 and 4 of your Owner Manual.
Off-Road Driving Basics
Off-road driving can be great fun, but
it does have its hazards. The greatest
hazard can be the terrain itself. Off-road
driving involves some special skills, so
it’s important to review the off-road driv-
ing information in your Owner Manual
before you go off-roading.
Loading Your Vehicle
When loading your vehicle for off-road
driving, the heaviest things should be on
the load floor and forward of your rear
axle. Put heavier items as forward as
you can, but do not place them in the
front seat area. Be sure the load is
secured properly to prevent items from
being tossed during off-road driving.
Note:
Heavy loads on the roof raise the
vehicle’s center of gravity, making it more
likely to roll over.
Resetting the Engine Oil Life
System
The Oil Life System calculates engine oil
life based on vehicle use and displays
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) when it’s
necessary to change your oil and filter.
The Oil Life System should be reset to
100% only following an oil change.
To reset the Oil Life System:
1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Press the
(Vehicle Information)
button until the DIC displays OIL LIFE
REMAINING.
3. Press and hold the
(Set/Reset)
button until 100% is displayed.
4. Turn off the ignition.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
