When these locks are set, the rear
doors cannot be opened from the
inside. The rear doors can be
opened from the outside when the
doors are unlocked.
The childproof locks are located on
rear edge of each rear door and
must be set separately for each
door. Setting the lock for one door
will not automatically set the lock
for both doors.
Move lock control up to engage the
childproof lock. Move control down
to disengage childproof locks.

•unlock all vehicle doors without a key
•lock all vehicle doors without a key
•activate the panic alarm
The remote entry LOCK and UNLOCK operate with the ignition in the
ON or OFF position and the transmission in P (Park).
If there is any potential remote keyless entry problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL remote entry transmittersare brought to the dealership,
to aid in troubleshooting.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RS-210 of
Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

Replacing the battery
The remote transmitter is powered by one coin type three-volt lithium

be up to 10 meters (33 feet) away from your vehicle. A decrease in
operating range can be caused by the following factors:
•Weather conditions

The RSS is automatically enabled
when the gear selector is placed in
R (Reverse) and the ignition is ON.
The RSS control allows the driver to
disable the RSS only when the
ignition is ON, and the gear selector is in R (Reverse).
The OFF indicator remains illuminated when the system is disabled. The
system defaults to ON every time R (Reverse) is selected. Press the
control to disable or enable the system.
The indicator will remain illuminated to indicate a failure of the RSS.
Always keep the sensors (located on the rear bumper/fascia) free
from dirt, snow and ice (do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects). These elements may cause the system to operate
inaccurately.
If the vehicle sustains damage to the rear bumper/fascia, leaving
it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)
For important information regarding safe operation of this type
of vehicle, seePreparing to drive your vehiclein this chapter.
When four–wheel drive (4WD) is engaged, power is supplied to all four
wheels through a transfer case. 4WD can be selected when additional
driving power is desired.
4WD operation is not recommended on dry pavement. Doing so could
result in difficult disengagement of the transfer case, increased tire wear
and decreased fuel economy.
Electronic shift on the fly (ESOF) 4x4 system (if equipped)
If equipped with the Electronic Shift 4WD System, and 4WD Low
is selected while the vehicle is moving, the 4WD system will not
engage. This is normal and should be no reason for concern.
Before 4WD Low can be engaged, the vehicle must be brought to
a complete stop, the brake pedal depressed and the transmission
placed in N (Neutral).
The 4WD system:
•provides 4x4 High engagement and disengagement while the vehicle is
moving.

For maximum vehicle performance, keep the following information in
mind when adding accessories or equipment to your vehicle:
•
When adding accessories, equipment, passengers and luggage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the total weight capacity of the vehicle or of the
front or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as indicated on the Safety compliance
certification label). Consult your dealer for specific weight information.
•The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulate the use of mobile
communications systems - such as two-way radios, telephones and theft
alarms - that are equipped with radio transmitters. Any such equipment
installed in your vehicle should comply with FCC or CRTC regulations
and should be installed only by a qualified service technician.
•Mobile communications systems may harm the operation of your
vehicle, particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive
use or are not properly installed. When operated, such systems may
cause the engine to stumble or stall or cause the transmission to be
damaged or operate improperly. In addition, such systems may be
damaged or their performance may be affected by operating your
vehicle. (Citizens band [CB] transceivers, garage door openers and
other transmitters with outputs of five watts or less will not ordinarily
affect your vehicle’s operation.)
•Ford cannot assume responsibility for any adverse effects or damage
that may result from the use of such equipment.
