This system keeps the rear of your vehicle at a constant level by
automatically adding air or releasing air from the springs.

If you exceed the load limit, the rear air suspension may not operate.

The air suspension shut-off switch is
located on the left side of the trunk.
If this switch is in the OFF position,
the rear air suspension will not
operate.

On vehicles equipped with
Air Suspension, turn OFF

the Air Suspension switch prior to
jacking, hoisting or towing your
vehicle.

Normal vehicle operation does not
require any action by the driver.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION

Brake-shift interlock – column-shift transmission

This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents
the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) when the ignition is
in the ON position unless brake pedal is depressed.

If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P (Park) with ignition in
the ON position and the brake pedal depressed, it is possible that a fuse
has blown or the vehicle’s brakelamps are not operating properly. Refer
to Fuses and relays in the Roadside Emergencies chapter.

If the fuse is not blown, perform the following procedure:

1. Apply the parking brake, turn the ignition to 2 (ACC).
