INTRODUCTION W elcome to Ford Motor Company’ s world of Sport Utility V ehicles (SUV) and truck driving! Y our new vehicle opens up a completely different and challenging world of travel unlike what you have ever experienced with a conventional car .
NOTICE TO 4X2 UTILITY V EHICLE OWNERS Although this supplement is primarily directed to 4WD or A WD vehicle operators, these principles of safe driving also apply to operators of two-wheel drive utility vehicles.
4WD AND A WD SYSTEMS Y our A WD or 4WD (when you select the 4WD mode) vehicle uses all four wheels to power itself. This increases traction, enabling you to drive over terrain and road conditions that a conventional two-wheel drive vehicle can not. Power is supplied to all four wheels through a transfer case or power transfer unit.
How your vehicle differs from other vehicles SUV and truck vehicles can differ from some other vehicles in a few noticeable ways. Y our 4WD or A WD may be: • Higher — to allow it to travel over rough terrain without getting hung up or damaging underbody components, and to accommodate 4WD components.
OPERATION ON THE ROAD Basic operating principles • Drive slower in strong crosswinds which can affect the normal steering characteristics of your vehicle. • Be extremely careful when driving on pavement made slippery by loose sand, water , gravel, snow or ice.
Emergency maneuvers • In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn must be made, remember to avoid “over -driving” your vehicle, i.
Parking Before leaving the driver’ s seat, you should make sure that the gearshift is engaged in P (Park) with an automatic transmission or either 1 (First) or R (Reverse) with a manual transmission. Set the parking brake fully , shut off the ignition and remove the key .
DRIVING OFF-ROAD When using 4WD or A WD, maintain steering wheel control at all times, especially in rough terrain. Since sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering wheel motion, make sure you grip the steering wheel from the outside. Do not grip the spokes.
“T read Lightly” is an educational program designed to increase public awareness of land-use regulations and responsibilities in our nations wilderness areas. Ford joins the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management in encouraging you to help preserve our national forest and other public and private lands by “treading lightly .
When climbing a steep slope or hill, start in a lower gear rather than downshifting to a lower gear from a higher gear once the ascent has started. This reduces strain on the engine and the possibility of stalling. If you do stall out, do not try to turn around because you might roll over .
T RAILER T OWING Y our vehicle may be equipped for towing trailers (or may require a trailer tow package). The combined total weight of the vehicle and trailer must be less than or equal to the recommended Gross Combination W eight Rating (GCWR) and be properly balanced.
TIRES, REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS Y our vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide for safe ride and handling capability . Do not use a size and type of tire and wheel other than that originally.
Each day before you drive, check your tires. If one looks lower than the others, use a tire gauge to check pressure of all tires, and adjust if required. Check tire pressure with a tire gauge every few weeks (including spare). Safe operation requires tires that are neither underinflated nor a vehicle which is overloaded.
MAINTENANCE AND MODIFICATIONS The suspension and steering systems on your vehicle have been designed and tested to provide both reasonably safe, predictable performance whether loaded or empty and durable load carrying capability .
HAULING CARGO AND V EHICLE HANDLING When using your vehicle to haul cargo, make sure it is properly loaded to help ensure safe handling. Cargo should be evenly distributed over the floor of the cargo area, with the heaviest cargo on the bottom and ahead of the rear axle.
