Cadillac Escalade: Automatic Level Control
The automatic level control rear suspension comes as a part of the Road Sensing Suspension. See Road Sensing Suspension .
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 10 minutes after the ignition key has been turned to LOCK. You may hear the air compressor operating when the height is being adjusted.
If a weight-distributing hitch is being used, it is recommended to allow the shocks to inflate, thereby leveling the vehicle prior to adjusting the height. See “Weight distributing Hitches and Weight Carrying Hitches” under Towing Equipment .
Add-On Equipment
When you carry removable items, you may need to put a limit on how many people
you can carry inside your vehicle. Be sure to weigh your vehicle before you buy
and install the new equipment.
