1997 FORD EXPEDITION lock

Braking with ABS
On vehicles with ABS, the wheels
will not lock and slide when you
press down hard on the brake
pedal. The ABS automatically
releases and reapplies the front
and rear brakes independently
whenever the wheels start to lock.
When this happens, you will feel
the brake pedal pulse. This pulse
may be unfamiliar feeling, but it is
a normal indication that the ABS is
working as designed.
Do not ªpumpº the brake pedal of
vehicles with ABS.

2(Second)Ð Use 2(Second) to
start-up on slippery roads or to
provide additional engine braking
on downgrades. Transmission
operates in first and second gears.
1(Low)Ð Use 1(Low) to provide
maximum engine braking on steep
downgrades. Upshifts can be made
by shifting to 2(Second) or to
D(Overdrive). Selecting 1(Low)
at higher speeds causes a shift to
2(Second), and will shift to 1(Low)
after vehicle decelerates to the
proper speed.
Brake-shift interlock
The brake-shift interlock feature
prevents you from shifting from
P(Park) unless the brake pedal is
depressed (with the ignition in the
On position). If you cannot move
the gearshift out of P(Park) with
the brake pedal depressed:
1. Turn ignition key to Off (3).
2. Apply the parking brake.

replacing fuses.
Do not drive your vehicle
until you verify that the

CONTROL TRAC-AUTOMATIC
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
Your 4x4 features a heavy-duty
Control Trac system, includes a
computer-operated transfer case.
Coupled with a
center-disconnected front axle, this
unique system is interactive with
the road, continually monitoring
and adjusting torque delivery to
the front and rear wheels to
optimize vehicle control.
Positions of the Control Trac
system
The Control Trac A4WD system
functions in four modes:
²2Hposition delivers power only
to the rear axle.
²A4WDposition delivers power
to the rear axle, and the front
axle when road conditions
dictate the need for increased
traction.
²4Hposition provides
mechanically locked four-wheel
drive power delivery to front
and rear axles.
²4Lposition provides
mechanically locked four-wheel
drive when above average power
at reduced speeds is required.
