1. WARNING: The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension
vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension switch located near the jack storage area in the rear of the passenger
compartment. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can result in shifting of the vehicle
during these operations. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Turn the air suspension switch to the OFF position, if equipped.
