Belt-Minder
La caracterstica Belt-Minder es una advertencia adicional a la funcin
de advertencia del cinturn de seguridad. Esta funcin proporciona
recordatorios adicionales haciendo sonar de manera intermitente una
campanilla e iluminando la luz de advertencia del cinturn de seguridad
en el grupo de instrumentos cuando se desabrocha el cinturn del
conductor y del pasajero delantero.
Esta caracterstica utiliza informacin del sistema de sensores del
pasajero delantero para determinar si hay un pasajero en el asiento
delantero y por lo tanto, si necesita ser advertido. Para evitar su
activacin cuando se coloquen objetos en el asiento del pasajero
delantero, slo se emitirn advertencias para los ocupantes de tamao
grande ubicados en el asiento delantero, segn lo determinado por el
sistema de sensores.
El uso de los cinturones de seguridad del conductor y de los pasajeros
est monitoreado y cualquier cinturn puede activar la caracterstica
Belt-Minder. El conductor y el pasajero delantero reciben las mismas
advertencias. Si finalizan las advertencias (cuya duracin es
aproximadamente 5 minutos) para un ocupante (conductor o pasajero
delantero), el otro ocupante an puede activar esta caracterstica.

Despus de que todos los pasajeros hayan ajustado sus asientos y puesto
los cinturones de seguridad, es muy importante que mantengan su
posicin vertical. Un ocupante correctamente sentado se sienta siempre
derecho contra el respaldo y en el centro del cojn, con sus pies
cmodamente extendidos. Sentarse de manera incorrecta puede
aumentar la probabilidad de lesiones en el caso de un choque. Por
ejemplo, si un pasajero viaja en una posicin irregular, se recuesta, voltea
hacia los lados, se sienta hacia adelante, se inclina hacia adelante o hacia
los lados o levanta uno o ambos pies, aumenta en gran medida la
probabilidad de sufrir lesiones en un choque.
Sentarse de manera incorrecta fuera de posicin con el respaldo
muy reclinado hacia atrs puede levantar el peso del cojn del
asiento y afectar la decisin del sistema de sensores del pasajero, lo
que puede ocasionar lesiones graves o la muerte en un choque.
Sintese siempre derecho contra el respaldo, con los pies en el piso.

sistema de sensores del pasajero delantero. La persona ubicada en el
asiento del pasajero delantero puede parecer ms pesada o ms liviana
debido a las condiciones que se describen en la lista antes mencionada.
Para reducir el riesgo de posibles lesiones graves:
no guarde objetos en el bolsillo del mapa en el respaldo del
asiento (si est instalado) ni cuelgue objetos en el respaldo cuando
haya un nio en el asiento del pasajero delantero.
No coloque objetos debajo del asiento del pasajero delantero ni entre el
asiento y la consola central (si est instalada).
Revise la luz indicadora passenger airbag off o pass airbag off

Temperatura A B C
Las clases de temperatura son A (la ms alta), B y C, las cuales
representan la resistencia de la llanta a la generacin de calor y su
capacidad de disiparlo cuando se prueban en condiciones controladas en
una rueda de prueba de laboratorio especificada. Una temperatura alta
prolongada puede hacer que el material de la llanta se degrade,
reduciendo su vida til. Una temperatura excesiva puede provocar fallas
repentinas de la llanta. La clase C corresponde a un nivel de rendimiento
que deben cumplir todas las llantas de vehculos de pasajeros de acuerdo
con la Norma federal de seguridad para vehculos motorizados No. 139.
Las clases B y A representan niveles ms altos de rendimiento de la
rueda en pruebas de laboratorio que el mnimo exigido por la ley.
El grado de temperatura para esta llanta se establece para una
llanta apropiadamente inflada y no sobrecargada. La velocidad
excesiva, falta de aire o carga excesiva, ya sea por separado o en
combinacin, puede causar un calentamiento progresivo y una posible
falla de las llantas.
LLANTAS
Las llantas estn diseadas para entregar miles de millas de servicio,
pero se les debe realizar mantenimiento para obtener el mximo
beneficio de ellas.
Glosario de terminologa sobre llantas
Etiqueta de la llanta: una etiqueta que muestra los tamaos de
llantas del OE (Equipamiento original), la presin de inflado
recomendada y el peso mximo que puede transportar el vehculo.
239

241
242
243
Antigedad
Las llantas se degradan con el paso del tiempo, dependiendo de
muchos factores que experimentan en el transcurso de su vida til,
como el clima, las condiciones de almacenamiento y las condiciones de
uso (carga, velocidad, presin de inflado, etc.).
En general, las llantas se deben reemplazar cada seis aos,
independiente del desgaste de la banda de rodadura. Sin embargo, el
calor presente en los climas calurosos o las condiciones de carga
frecuente pueden acelerar el proceso de envejecimiento y podra ser
necesario reemplazar las llantas con mayor frecuencia.
Debe reemplazar la llanta de refaccin cuando cambie las llantas para
el camino o despus de seis aos debido al envejecimiento, incluso si
no se ha utilizado.

MOTOR
Los motores son ms eficaces cuando estn limpios, ya que la
acumulacin de grasa y suciedad mantiene el motor ms caliente de lo
normal. Cuando lo lave:
Tenga cuidado al usar un limpiador elctrico para limpiar el motor. El
lquido a alta presin podra penetrar en las piezas selladas y provocar
daos.
No roce un motor caliente con agua fra para evitar el agrietamiento
del bloque del motor o de otros componentes del motor.
Roce Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and Degreaser (ZC-20) en todas las
zonas que necesiten limpieza y enjuague a presin.
Cubra las reas destacadas para evitar daos causados por el agua al
limpiar el motor.
Nunca lave ni enjuague el motor mientras est funcionando; el agua en
el motor en marcha puede provocar daos internos.

Cell phone use
The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However,
drivers must not compromise their own or others safety when using
such equipment. Mobile Communications can enhance personal safety
and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency
situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.
Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, in-vehicle communications
systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.
Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control,
accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that drivers use
extreme caution when using any device that may take their focus off
the road. The drivers primary responsibility is the safe operation of
their vehicle. Only use cell phones and other devices not essential to
the driving task when it is safe to do so.

The tailgate lock is designed to help
prevent theft of the tailgate.
Insert ignition key and turn to the
right to lock.
Turn ignition key to the left to
unlock.
Tailgate removal
Vehicles equipped with a cap, keep passengers and pets out of
the pickup box area when vehicle is running to prevent exhaust
fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. Exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide which can injure your lungs and cause drowsiness
and even death.

141
Keep vehicle doors and tonneau cover locked and keep keys and
remote transmitters out of a childs reach. Unsupervised children
could lock themselves in the box and risk injury. Children should be
taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the pickup box can rise very
quickly. Exposure of people or animals to these high
temperatures for even a short time can cause death or serious
heat-related injuries, including brain damage. Small children are
particularly at risk.
142
143
LUGGAGE RACK
Your vehicle is equipped with a roof rack. The maximum recommended
load is 100 lb. (44 kg), evenly distributed. If it is not possible to
distribute the load, position it as far rearward as possible. Use the tie
down loops on the thumbwheels (if equipped) to secure the load.
To adjust cross-bar position (if
equipped):
1. Loosen the thumbwheel at both
ends of the cross-bar (both
cross-bars are adjustable).
2. Slide the cross-bar to the desired
location.
3. Tighten the thumbwheel at both
ends of the cross-bar.

Autounlock
The autounlock feature will unlock all the doors when:
the ignition is in the 3 (ON) position, all the doors are closed, and the
vehicle has been in motion at a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h);
the vehicle has then come to a stop and the ignition is turned to the 1
(OFF/LOCK) or 2 (ACC) position; and
the driver door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition being
transitioned to the 1 (OFF/LOCK) or 2 (ACC) position.
Note: The doors will not autounlock if the vehicle has been
electronically locked before the driver door is opened.
Deactivating/activating autounlock
Your vehicle comes with the autounlock feature activated. There are four
methods to enable/disable this feature:
Through your authorized dealer, or
Performing the power door lock control procedure, or
Performing the keyless entry key pad (if equipped) procedure, or
Performing the message center (if equipped) procedure.
Before following the activation or deactivation procedures, make sure
that the anti-theft system is not armed, ignition is in the 1 (OFF/LOCK)
position, and all vehicle doors are closed.

Car finder
Press twice within three seconds. The horn will chirp and the turn
lamps will flash. It is recommended that this method be used to locate
your vehicle, rather than using the panic alarm.
153
3. Remove the old battery. Note: Please refer to local regulations when
disposing of transmitter batteries.
4. Insert the new battery. Refer to the diagram inside the remote entry
transmitter for the correct orientation of the battery. Press the battery
down to ensure that the battery is fully seated in the battery housing
cavity.
5. Snap the two halves back together.
Note: Replacement of the battery will not cause the remote transmitter
to become deprogrammed from your vehicle. The remote transmitter
should operate normally after battery replacement.
154
155
156
157
Anti-theft indicator
The anti-theft indicator is located on top of the instrument panel.
When the ignition is in the 1 (OFF/LOCK) position, the indicator will
flash once every 2 seconds to indicate the SecuriLock system is
functioning as a theft deterrent.
When the ignition is in the 3 (ON) position, the indicator will glow for
3 seconds to indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock system, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the 3 (ON) position. If
this occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for
service.
158
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 3 (ON) position with a coded key disarms
the vehicle.
The theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out.
If the theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or
flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your authorized dealer.
Replacement keys
If your keys are lost or stolen and you dont have an extra coded key,
you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The
key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will
need to be programmed.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key
away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any
inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional
spare or replacement keys.
Programming spare keys
You can program your own coded keys to your vehicle.
Tips:
A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle.
Only use SecuriLock keys.
You must have two previously programmed coded keys (keys that
already operate your vehicles engine) and the new unprogrammed
key(s) readily accessible.
If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must
take your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare key(s)
programmed.

Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to reduce the risk of
injury in a collision or sudden stop.
161
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap
belt snug and low across the hips.

To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit in the back
seat where they can be properly restrained.
Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the
vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from
injury in a collision.
171
Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been
closed up in sunny weather; they could burn a small child. Check
seat covers and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them.
172
2. To unfasten, push the release button and remove the tongue from the
buckle.
Front and rear seats
All safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder
belts. All of the passenger combination lap and shoulder belts have two
types of locking modes described below:
173
Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the automatic locking
mode.
174
175
176
Position the safety belt comfort guide so that the belt rests
across the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safety
belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt and
increase the risk of injury in a collision.
177
Belt-Minder
The Belt-Minder feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt
warning function. This feature provides additional reminders by
intermittently sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning
light in the instrument cluster when the drivers and front passengers
safety belt is unbuckled.
The Belt-Minder feature uses information from the front passenger
sensing system to determine if a front seat passenger is present and
therefore potentially in need of a warning. To avoid activating the
Belt-Minder feature for objects placed in the front passenger seat,
warnings will only be given to large front seat occupants as determined
by the front passenger sensing system.
Both the drivers and passengers safety belt usages are monitored and
either may activate the Belt-Minder feature. The warnings are the same
for the driver and the front passenger. If the Belt-Minder warnings have
expired (warnings for approximately 5 minutes) for one occupant (driver
or front passenger), the other occupant can still activate the
Belt-Minder feature.
178
179
180
181
1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position. DO NOT START
THE ENGINE.
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (Approximately 1 minute).
Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt
warning light turns off.
3. For the seating position being disabled, at a moderate speed, buckle
then unbuckle the safety belt nine times, ending in the unbuckled state.
Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt
warning light turns off.
After Step 3, the safety belt warning light will be turned on for three
seconds.
4. Within approximately seven seconds of the light turning off, buckle
then unbuckle the safety belt.
This will disable the Belt-Minder feature for that seating position if it
is currently enabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning light will
flash four times per second for three seconds.
This will enable the Belt-Minder feature for that seating position if it
is currently disabled. As confirmation, the safety belt warning light will
flash four times per second for three seconds, followed by three
seconds with the light off, then followed by the safety belt warning
light flashing four times per second for three seconds again.
182
For proper care of soiled safety belts, refer to Interior in the Cleaning
chapter.

186
Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not
touch them after inflation.
If the air bag has deployed, the air bag will not function
again and must be replaced immediately. If the air bag is not
replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
187
188
After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on safety belts, its
very important that they continue to sit properly. A properly seated
occupant sits upright, leaning against the seat back, and centered on the
seat cushion, with their feet comfortably extended on the floor. Sitting
improperly can increase the chance of injury in a crash event. For
example, if an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward,
leans forward or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of
injury during a crash is greatly increased.
Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat back reclined
too far can take off weight from the seat cushion and affect the
decision of the front passenger sensing system, resulting in serious
injury or death in a crash.
Always sit upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor.
189
190
191
Do not lean your head on the door. The side airbag could injure
you as it deploys from the side of the seatback.
192
All occupants of the vehicle should always wear their safety belts
even when an airbag SRS is provided.
193
194
Do not lean your head on the door. The Safety Canopy could
injure you as it deploys from the headliner.
195
196
197
Always follow the instructions and warnings that come with any infant or
child restraint you might use.
Children and safety belts
If the child is the proper size, restrain the child in a safety seat. Children
who are too large for child safety seats (as specified by your child safety
seat manufacturer) should always wear safety belts.
Follow all the important safety restraint and airbag precautions that
apply to adult passengers in your vehicle.
If the shoulder belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt can be
positioned so it does not cross or rest in front of the childs face or neck,
the child should wear the lap and shoulder belt. Moving the child closer to
the center of the vehicle may help provide a good shoulder belt fit.
Belt comfort guides are provided at the 2nd row outboard seats to
improve belt comfort for smaller occupants. The belt comfort guide is
not a substitute for a booster seat, and is only intended to improve the
comfort of the safety belt if it rests against the neck. Most children still
need a booster seat to encourage upright posture and improve lap belt
fit. Refer to Second row comfort guide earlier in this chapter.
198
199
200
If needed, when installing some high back child restraints, the head
restraints of the second row seating positions can be removed. Insert a
thin pointed object, such as a paper clip or pushpin, into the hole of
each head restraint guide and while lifting up remove the head restraint.
Store the head restraint in a secure location in the vehicle. To re-install
the head restraint, line the posts up in the holes on the seat back with
the head restraint strap facing the outside of the vehicle and push down
until the head restraint locks into place. Lift gently to ensure it is locked
into place.
If the head restraint has been removed from a seating position to
accommodate a high back child restraint, the head restraint must
be re-installed prior to use of the seat by any other occupant in order
to reduce the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.
201
If the booster seat slides on the vehicle seat, placing a rubberized mesh
sold as shelf or carpet liner under the booster seat may improve this
condition.
The importance of shoulder belts
Using a booster without a shoulder belt increases the risk of a childs
head hitting a hard surface in a collision. For this reason, you should
never use a booster seat with a lap belt only. It is best to use a booster
seat with lap/shoulder belts in the back seat- the safest place for children
to ride.
Move a child to a different seating location if the shoulder belt
does not stay positioned on the shoulder during use.
Never put the shoulder belt under a childs arm or behind the
back because it eliminates the protection for the upper part of
the body and may increase the risk of injury or death in a collision.
202
203
Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder belts
Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NEVER place a
rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag. If you must use
a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the seat all the way
back.
204
205
6. Allow the belt to retract. The belt will click as it retracts to indicate it
is in the automatic locking mode.
7. Pull the lap belt portion across
the child seat toward the buckle and
pull up on the shoulder belt while
pushing down with your knee on the
child seat.
206
207
You may need to pull the seatback forward to access the tether
anchors. Make sure the seat is locked in the upright position before
installing the child seat. Refer to Folding Down The Rear Seats in
this chapter for information on how to operate the rear seats.
4. Slide open the tether anchor
cover.
208
Attaching safety seats with LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children) attachments for child seat anchors
Some child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments
that connect to two anchors at certain seating positions in your vehicle.
This type of child seat eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach
the child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the tether strap must also
be attached to the proper tether anchor. See Attaching child safety
seats with tether straps in this chapter.
209
Never attach two LATCH child safety seats to the same anchor.
In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two
child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury or
death.
The anchors on the 2nd row outboard seats are provided only to install
child seats at the outboard seats. DO NOT install a child seat at the
center 2nd row seat using LATCH attachments (rigid or mounted on belt
webbing) mounted to the inboard lower anchors at the outboard seats. If
you install a child seat at the center 2nd row position, use the vehicle
belt and the top tether anchor.
Follow the child seat manufacturers instructions to properly install a
child seat with LATCH attachments. The plastic LATCH guides can be
obtained from an authorized dealer. They snap onto the LATCH lower
anchors in the seat to help attach a child seat with rigid attachments.
The guides hold the seat trim away to expose the anchor and make it
easier to attach some child seats.
210
If you install a child seat with rigid LATCH attachments, do not tighten
the tether strap enough to lift the child seat off the vehicle seat cushion
when the child is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug without
lifting the front of the child seat. Keeping the child seat just touching the
vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash.
Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly
attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor. Try to move the child
seat from side to side. Also try to tug the seat forward. Check to see if
the anchors hold the seat in place.
If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child
being injured in a crash greatly increases.
211
Study your Owners Guide and any supplements for specific information
about equipment features, instructions for safe driving and additional
precautions to reduce the risk of an accident or serious injury.
VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS
212
213
214
Temperature A B C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the
tires resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 139. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by
law.
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
215
216
217
218
Tire wear
When the tread is worn down to
1/16th of an inch (2 mm), tires must
be replaced to help prevent your
vehicle from skidding and
hydroplaning. Built-in treadwear
indicators, or wear bars, which
look like narrow strips of smooth
rubber across the tread will appear
on the tire when the tread is worn
down to 1/16th of an inch (2 mm).
When the tire tread wears down to
the same height as these wear bars, the tire is worn out and must be
replaced.
Damage
Periodically inspect the tire treads and sidewalls for damage (such as
bulges in the tread or sidewalls, cracks in the tread groove and
separation in the tread or sidewall). If damage is observed or suspected
have the tire inspected by a tire professional. Tires can be damaged
during off-road use, so inspection after off-road use is also
recommended.
219
Age
Tires degrade over time depending on many factors such as
weather, storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed,
inflation pressure, etc.) the tires experience throughout their lives.
In general, tires should be replaced after six years regardless of tread
wear. However, heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading
conditions can accelerate the aging process and may require tires to be
replaced more frequently.
You should replace your spare tire when you replace the road tires or
after six years due to aging even if it has not been used.
220
Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size,
load index, speed rating and type (such as P-metric versus
LT-metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally provided
by Ford. The recommended tire and wheel size may be found on either
the Safety Compliance Certification Label or the Tire Label which is
located on the B-Pillar or edge of the drivers door. If this information
is not found on these labels then you should consult your Ford dealer.
Use of any tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the
safety and performance of your vehicle, which could result in an
increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death. Additionally the use of non-recommended tires and wheels
could cause steering, suspension, axle or transfer case/power transfer
unit failure. If you have questions regarding tire replacement, see an
authorized dealer.
Important: Remember to replace the wheel valve stems when the road
tires are replaced on your vehicle.
It is recommended that the two front tires or two rear tires generally be
replaced as a pair.
221
Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph (56 km/h). The tires may
fail and injure a passenger or bystander.
Highway hazards
No matter how carefully you drive theres always the possibility that you
may eventually have a flat tire on the highway. Drive slowly to the
closest safe area out of traffic. This may further damage the flat tire, but
your safety is more important.
If you feel a sudden vibration or ride disturbance while driving, or you
suspect your tire or vehicle has been damaged, immediately reduce your
speed. Drive with caution until you can safely pull off the road. Stop and
inspect the tires for damage. If a tire is under-inflated or damaged,
deflate it, remove wheel and replace it with your spare tire and wheel. If
you cannot detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest repair
facility or tire dealer to have the vehicle inspected.
Tire and wheel alignment
A bad jolt from hitting a curb or pothole can cause the front end of your
vehicle to become misaligned or cause damage to your tires. If your

The tires on your vehicle have all-weather treads to provide traction in rain
and snow. However, in some climates, using snow tires or traction devices
may be necessary. Ford offers tire cables as a Ford approved accessory and
recommends use of these or SAE class S tire cables. See your authorized
dealer for more information on tire cables for your vehicle.
Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and traction devices:
Use only SAE Class S chains.
Cables should only be used on the rear wheels.
Install cables securely, verifying that the cables do not touch any
wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables rub or bang against the
vehicle, stop and retighten them. If this does not work, remove the
cables to prevent vehicle damage.
Avoid overloading your vehicle.
Remove the cables when they are no longer needed.
Do not use cables on dry roads.
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) with tire cables on your vehicle.
Consult your authorized dealer for information on other Ford Motor
Company approved methods of traction control.
VEHICLE LOADING WITH AND WITHOUT A TRAILER
This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle and/or
trailer, to keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating
capability, with or without a trailer. Properly loading your vehicle will
provide maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading
your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining
your vehicles weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicles
Tire Label or Safety Compliance Certification Label:
Base Curb Weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of
fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or
optional equipment.
234
235
Cargo Weight includes all weight added to the Base Curb Weight,
including cargo and optional equipment. When towing, trailer tongue load
or king pin weight is also part of cargo weight.
GAW (Gross Axle Weight) is the total weight placed on each axle
(front and rear) including vehicle curb weight and all payload.
236
237
238
239
Your vehicle can haul more cargo and people than most passenger cars.
Depending upon the type and placement of the load, hauling cargo and
people may raise the center of gravity of the vehicle.
Calculating the load your vehicle can carry/tow
1. Use the appropriate maximum GCWR chart (in the Trailer towing
section in this chapter) for your type of engine and rear axle ratio.
2. Weigh your vehicle without cargo. To obtain correct weights, take your
vehicle to a shipping company or an inspection station for trucks.
3. Subtract your loaded weight from the maximum GCWR in the chart.
This is the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow. It must be
below the maximum trailer weight shown in the chart.

Preparing to tow
Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is
properly attached to your vehicle. See your authorized dealer or a
reliable trailer dealer if you require assistance.
Hitches
Do not use hitches that clamp onto the vehicle bumper. Use a load
carrying hitch. You must distribute the load in your trailer so that
1015% of the total weight of the trailer is on the tongue, not to exceed
the maximum tongue loads as stated:
Class II receiver: 350 lb. (159 kg)
Class III/IV receiver: 500 lb. (227 kg) (weight carrying); 740 lb.
(336 kg) (weight distributing)
243
The braking system of the tow vehicle is rated for operation at the
GVWR not GCWR.
Trailer lamps
Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running
lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working. See your
authorized dealer or trailer rental agency for proper instructions and
equipment for hooking up trailer lamps.
Never connect any trailer lighting to the vehicles taillamp
circuits, because it may damage the electrical system resulting in
fire. Contact your authorized dealer for assistance in proper trailer tow
wiring installation. Additional electrical equipment may be required.
244
245
246
247
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
248
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer
inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
249
Some warning lights will briefly illuminate. See Warning lights and
chimes in the Instrument Cluster chapter for more information
regarding the warning lights.
250
251
Prior to using the engine block heater, follow these recommendations for
proper and safe operation:
For your safety, use an outdoor extension cord that is product
certified by Underwriters laboratory (UL ) or Canadian Standards
Association (CSA). Use only an extension cord that can be used
outdoors, in cold temperatures, and is clearly marked Suitable for Use
with Outdoor Appliances. Never use an indoor extension cord
outdoors; it could result in an electric shock or fire hazard.
Use a 16 gauge outdoor extension cord, minimum.
Use as short an extension cord as possible.
Do not use multiple extension cords. Instead, use one extension cord
which is long enough to reach from the engine block heater cord to
the outlet without stretching.
Make certain that the extension cord is in excellent condition (not
patched or spliced). Store your extension cord indoors at
temperatures above 32F (0C). Outdoor conditions can deteriorate
extension cords over a period of time.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use your heater with
ungrounded electrical systems or two pronged (cheater) adapters.
Also ensure that the block heater, especially the cord, is in good
condition before use.
Make sure that when in operation, the extension cord plug /engine
block heater cord plug connection is free and clear of water in order
to prevent possible shock or fire.

Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift is
latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the LOCK position and
remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
R (Reverse)
With the gearshift lever in R (Reverse), the vehicle will move backward.
Always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of R
(Reverse).
N (Neutral)
With the gearshift lever in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be started and is
free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this position.

Fourwheel drive (4WD) supplies power to all four wheels. Do not use
4X4 High or 4X4 Low on dry, hard surfaced roads. Doing so will produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and may damage drive components.
4X4 High and 4X4 Low are only intended for consistently slippery or
loose surfaces. The use of 4X4 High or 4X4 Low on these surfaces may
produce some noise, such as occasional clunks, but will not damage the
drive system.
If equipped with the Electronic Shift 4WD System, and 4WD Low
is selected while the vehicle is moving above 3 mph (5 km/h), the
4WD system will not engage. This is normal and should be no
reason for concern. Refer to Shifting to/from 4WD Low for proper
operation.
271
272
273
Emergency maneuvers
In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn
must be made, remember to avoid over-driving your vehicle, i.e.,
turn the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far as required to avoid
the emergency. Excessive steering will result in less vehicle control,
not more. Additionally, smooth variations of the accelerator and/or
brake pedal pressure should be utilized if changes in vehicle speed are
called for. Avoid abrupt steering, acceleration or braking which could
result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover
and/or personal injury. Use all available road surface to return the
vehicle to a safe direction of travel.
In the event of an emergency stop, avoid skidding the tires and do not
attempt any sharp steering wheel movements.
274
If the vehicle goes from one type of surface to another (i.e., from
concrete to gravel) there will be a change in the way the vehicle
responds to a maneuver (steering, acceleration or braking). Again,
avoid these abrupt inputs.
Parking
On some 4WD vehicles, when the transfer case is in the N (Neutral)
position, the engine and transmission are disconnected from the rest of
the driveline. Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic
transmission is in P (Park) or the manual transmission is in gear. Do not
leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the N (Neutral)
position. Always set the parking brake fully and turn off the ignition
when leaving the vehicle.
Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift is
latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the LOCK position and
remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp
remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly.
See your authorized dealer.
4WD Systems
4WD uses all four wheels to power the vehicle. This increases traction,
enabling you to drive over terrain and road conditions that a
conventional two-wheel drive vehicle cannot.
Power is supplied to all four wheels through a transfer case. On 4WD
vehicles, the transfer case allows you to select 4WD when necessary.
Information on transfer case operation and shifting procedures can be
found in this chapter. Information on transfer case maintenance can be

RECYCLE
ENGINE COOLANT
333
4.6L V8 engine
The engine coolant should be at the FULL COLD level or within the
COLD FILL RANGE as listed on the engine coolant reservoir
(depending upon application).
Refer to scheduled maintenance information for service interval
schedules.
Be sure to read and understand Precautions when servicing your
vehicle in this chapter.
If the engine coolant has not been checked at the recommended interval,
the engine coolant reservoir may become low or empty. If the reservoir is
low or empty, add engine coolant to the reservoir. Refer to Adding
engine coolant in this chapter.
Note: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine
coolant, antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified
function and vehicle location.
334
335
Add the proper mixture of coolant and water to the cooling system by
following these steps:
1. Before you begin, turn the engine off and let it cool.
2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the coolant
pressure relief cap on the coolant reservoir (a translucent plastic bottle).
Slowly turn cap counterclockwise (left) until pressure begins to release.
3. Step back while the pressure releases.
4. When you are sure that all the pressure has been released, use the
cloth to turn it counterclockwise and remove the cap.
5. Fill the coolant reservoir slowly with the proper coolant mixture, to
within the COLD FILL RANGE or the FULL COLD level on the
reservoir. If you removed the radiator cap in an overflow system, fill the
radiator until the coolant is visible and radiator is almost full.
6. Replace the cap. Turn until tightly installed. Cap must be tightly
installed to prevent coolant loss.
After any coolant has been added, check the coolant concentration (refer
to Checking engine coolant). If the concentration is not 50/50
(protection to 34F/36C), drain some coolant and adjust the
concentration. It may take several drains and additions to obtain a 50/50
coolant concentration.
Whenever coolant has been added, the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir should be checked the next few times you drive the vehicle. If
necessary, add enough 50/50 concentration of engine coolant and
distilled water to bring the liquid level to the proper level.
If you have to add more than 1.0 quart (1.0 liter) of engine coolant per
month, have your authorized dealer check the engine cooling system.

338
FUEL FILTER
For fuel filter replacement, see your authorized dealer. Refer to
scheduled maintenance information for the appropriate intervals for
changing the fuel filter.
Replace the fuel filter with an authorized Motorcraft part. The
customer warranty may be void for any damage to the fuel system
if an authorized Motorcraft fuel filter is not used.
339
The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel filler cap is
venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops
before completely removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out and injure you or others.
If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap, excessive vacuum in
the fuel tank may damage the fuel system or cause the fuel cap
to disengage in a collision, which may result in possible personal injury.
340
The flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzle can produce static
electricity, which can cause a fire if fuel is pumped into an
ungrounded fuel container.
Refueling
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause severe
injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:
Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island;
Turn off your engine when you are refueling;
Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle;
Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel;
Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended
when refueling your vehicle this is against the law in some places;
Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children pump
fuel.
341
342
The fuel system may be under pressure. Remove fuel filler cap
slowly. Otherwise, fuel may spray out and injure you or others.
If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap, excessive vacuum in
the fuel tank may damage the fuel system or cause the fuel cap
to disengage in a collision, which may result in personal injury.
