If the vehicle is equipped with Quadra-
Lift™ air suspension, the engine should
be started and left running for a minimum
of 60 seconds (with all the doors closed)
at least once every 24 hours. This process
allows the air suspension to adjust the
vehicle’s ride height to compensate for
temperature effects.

NOTE:
•
Steps 1 through 5 are requirements that
must be met before pressing the NEUTRAL
(N) button, and must continue to be met until
the shift has been completed. If any of these
requirements are not met before pressing
the NEUTRAL (N) button or are no longer met
during the shift, the NEUTRAL (N) indicator
light will flash continuously until all require-
ments are met or until the NEUTRAL (N)
button is released.
•
The ignition switch must be in the ON/
RUN position for a shift to take place and
for the position indicator lights to be op-
erable. If the ignition switch is not in the
ON/RUN position, the shift will not take
place and no position indicator lights will
be on or flashing.
•
A flashing NEUTRAL (N) position indica-
tor light indicates that shift requirements
have not been met.
