Some vehicles equipped with Electronically Controlled Air Suspension (ECAS) have a remote control unit to lower and raise the rear suspension. See Table. for keys and functions.

ECAS Remote Control Keys and Functions

Key

Function

Remote Control On/Off. The middle light will remain lit while the remote is active.

Memory keys. Pressing the Stop key and a memory key simultaneously will store the current height. Once stored, pressing the key will adjust the vehicle to the stored height.

Normal height key. This key will return the vehicle to normal ride height.

Lift and lower keys. These keys will raise or lower the rear suspension height.

The Stop key. Pressing the Stop key will interrupt and stop all adjustments being made by the remote control. When the key is off, holding the Stop key for 2 seconds will cancel the 1 hour Standby mode.

    If the suspension is outside normal ride height (amber lamp on), the ECAS system will automatically return the suspension to normal ride height when vehicle speed reaches or exceeds a set speed (usually set to 5 mph).

    Messages about the ride height status will display in the message field of the driver message center.

    ECAS Standby Mode, Remote Control

    Once the key is turned off, the ECAS will enter Standby mode, remaining powered and adjusting to level and load changes for 1 hour. To cancel Standby mode on vehicles with a remote control, turn on the remote control then hold the STOP key on the remote for 2 seconds. Confirm the deactivation of standby mode by attempting to turn the remote on and adjust the suspension, which should not be possible.
