Automatic Level Control

This feature keeps the rear of your vehicle level as
the load changes. It is automatic, you do not need to
adjust anything. This type of level control is fully
automatic and will provide a better leveled 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 ten minutes after the ignition
key has been turned to OFF. You may also hear the
air compressor operating when the height is
being adjusted.

Towing

Towing Your Vehicle

Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if
you need to have your disabled vehicle towed. See

Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-6

.

If you want to tow your vehicle behind another vehicle
for recreational purposes (such as behind a motorhome),
see “Recreational Vehicle Towing” following.

Recreational Vehicle Towing

Recreational vehicle towing means towing your vehicle
behind another vehicle — such as behind a motorhome.
The two most common types of recreational vehicle
towing are known as “dinghy towing” (towing your
vehicle with all four wheels on the ground) and “dolly
towing” (towing your vehicle with two wheels on
the ground and two wheels up on a device known
as a “dolly”).

With the proper preparation and equipment, many
vehicles can be towed in these ways. See “Dinghy
Towing” and “Dolly Towing,” following.
Here are some important things to consider before you
do recreational vehicle towing:

What is the towing capacity of the towing vehicle?
Be sure you read the tow vehicle manufacturer’s
recommendations.

How far will you tow? Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and how long they can tow.

Do you have the proper towing equipment?
See your dealer or trailering professional for
additional advice and equipment recommendations.

Is your vehicle ready to be towed? Just as you
would prepare your vehicle for a long trip, you
will want to make sure your vehicle is prepared to
be towed. See

Before Leaving on a Long Trip
