AIR SPRINGS – REAR HELPER
(AIR BAGS)
–If Equipped
The rear air helper springs (air bags) are an
enhancement to the standard suspension system
to provide adjustable load and ride conditions.
This feature is not intended to increase the load
capacity of the rear axle or vehicle.
Adjustment
Check and adjust the air bag pressure
periodically to maintain optimal ride and
handling characteristics according to cargo
weight.
Too much air pressure in the air helper springs
will result in a firmer ride, while too little air
pressure will allow the air helper spring to bottom
out over rough road conditions. Too little air
pressure will also not provide the improvement in
handling that is possible.
The air bags can be adjusted independently if
necessary to equalize a load, however, we
recommend maintaining the same pressure in
both air bags whenever possible to ensure that the
vehicle remains level.
Recommended Pressure
Minimum Air Pressure . . . . . . . . . . 20 psi
Maximum Air Pressure . . . . . . . . . . 80 psi
LIGHTS
All exterior lights should be checked for
proper operation each time the vehicle is
prepared for a trip. Any bulbs which fail to light
should be checked and replaced, when necessary,
with a new bulb of the same size. A failure of
more than one light, such as both taillights not
operating, may indicate a burned out fuse. Check
fuse and replace with one of the same rating
when necessary. If a fuse is not the cause of the
problem, the wiring system should be checked
immediately by an authorized service center.
Further Information
Refer to the chassis manual in your InfoCase
for further information.
