DUAL ACTION SYSTEM The suspension system incorporates a rear load leveling system that maintains the vehicle at the proper ride height under varying conditions of vehicle load, and an optional road calibrated suspension ride control system that varies the damping of the shock absorbers between soft and firm. The rear load leveling system uses air springs to support the vehicle weight. The quantity of air in the rear air spring is controlled by the vehicle dynamic module (VDM) to maintain a predetermined vehicle ride height. Each air spring has an air spring solenoid to control air flow into and out of each air spring. The optional ride control system uses four shocks with electronically controlled actuators. The shock actuators are internally mounted on the lower bodies of the front spring and shock assemblies and the rear shocks. The action of the shock actuators is controlled by the VDM. The VDM sends a signal to an appropriate shock actuator which switches to either soft or firm damping. Normally the shock actuator setting is in a soft, luxury car mode. This is done by causing an electric current flow through the actuator, which induces electromagnetic force that moves the shock actuator from a firm to a soft position. When driving situations require, the setting is switched to a firm, high performance control mode. This is done by removing power to the actuator, allowing the shock actuator to return to the firm mode.

Special Tool(s) Fluid Fill Reference NOTE: The left side of case is shown. The fill plug is on the right side of the extension housing. Check 1. Using the scan tool (WDS), monitor the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) using PID: TFT. 2. Start the vehicle. 3. Engine idle speed should be approximately at 650 rpm. Run engine until the recommended TFT is between 27°C and 49°C (80°F – 120°F) . The fluid level can be checked above 50°C (122°F) using this procedure. 4. Move the selector lever slowly, stopping in each gear. 5. Place selector lever in the PARK position. 6. Raise and support the vehicle. 7. Set vehicle as close to level as possible. Optional, if needed, the special tool can be used to assist in leveling the vehicle. 9. NOTE: It will be necessary to hold the drain plug (larger plug) with a wrench when removing the fluid level indicator plug. With the transmission in the PARK position and the engine running, use a 3/16 inch Allen key to remove the fluid level indicator plug. 10. Allow the fluid to drain. Wait approximately one minute. When the fluid comes out as a thin stream or a drip, it is at the correct level. 11. If no fluid comes out of the hole, fluid will need to be added. Continue with this procedure.
