Default concerning the 5 buttons options by shifter;haven't seen FAQ

i know this has been asked already, but i haven't seen it anywere.

there'* 5 buttons next to the shifter.

1) performance shift
2) normal shift
3) traction control
4) Performance and Tourning Ride (I'm inclining to say/don't know)
5) What is this option?

yes, stupid question once you have the answer.

Split touring and performance, and you got your answer.

Performance ride and touring ride refer to the CCR struts (which are discontinued...and usually fail).

Performance ride makes your suspension stiffer to handle better in turns. touring is much more cushy and comfortable and feels like your driving a couch down the road

Others mentioned CCR.

Computer Command Ride was offered on the Bonnevilles and a few other GM vehicles. Through valving in the strut, the ride was able to be controlled to either a soft (touring) ride or a harder (performance) ride.

Unfortunately due to costs and dependability issues the struts were not picked up by aftermarket vendors and there is no replacements containing the 2 ride functionality when they fail.

When they work, they are indeed a great thing and give the driver a selection for their driving style.

To replace, it'* a simple swap with struts of your choice that fit the car. Both lights on the ride control would be lit. To turn them off, you unbolt the drivers seat, lift the carpet and unplug the CCR module under the driverseat.

Glad ya found the table of contents

Can you see if there is any easy way to disable them at the switches instead of at the CCR box under the seat?
