    While moving slowly and straight ahead, press the upper Ride Height Control button on the dial to open the Ride Height menu.

  3. 03

    Press the upper button repeatedly until Extract Mode is selected and the green raising icon flashes in the Driver Information Center.

  4. 04

  5. 05

    After clearing the obstacle, press the lower Ride Height Control button to lower the vehicle out of Extract Mode.

Important limits

  • Use Extract Mode only for extreme off-road clearance; it limits speed to a crawl and limits torque available to each axle.
  • The vehicle may stop below full Extract height to protect the suspension.
  • Keep people and objects clear while the suspension is changing height.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If Extract Mode is unavailable, confirm Terrain Mode is active before pressing the height button.
  • ✓If raising is slow, allow the air tank to refill automatically.
  • ✓If the compressor overheats after repeated height changes, wait as long as 15 minutes for it to cool before trying again.
