Power is supplied to all four wheels
through a transfer case or power
transfer unit. 4WD vehicles allow
you to select different drive modes
as necessary. Information on shifting
procedures and maintenance can be
found in yourOwner’s Guide.You
should become thoroughly familiar
with this information before you operate your vehicle.
On some 4WD models, the initial shift from two-wheel drive to 4WD
while the vehicle is moving can cause a momentary clunk and ratcheting
sound. These sounds are normal as the front drivetrain comes up to
speed and is not cause for concern.
Do not become overconfident in the ability of 4WD and AWD
vehicles. Although a 4WD or AWD vehicle may accelerate better
than two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction situations, it won’t stop
any faster than two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive at a safe speed.
How your vehicle differs from other vehicles
SUV and trucks can differ from
some other vehicles in a few
noticeable ways. Your vehicle may
be:
•Higher – to allow higher load
carrying capacity and to allow it
to travel over rough terrain
without getting hung up or
damaging underbody components.
•Shorter – to give it the capability
to approach inclines and drive
over the crest of a hill without
getting hung up or damaging
underbody components. All other
things held equal, a shorter
wheelbase may make your vehicle
quicker to respond to steering inputs than a vehicle with a longer
wheelbase.

built. For example, the numbers 317 mean the 31st week of 1997. After
2000 the numbers go to four digits. For example, 2501 means the 25th
week of 2001. The numbers in between are identification codes used for
traceability. This information is used to contact customers if a tire defect
requires a recall.
Tire Replacement Requirements
Your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to provide a safe ride and handling capability.
Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size
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 driver’s 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.
When mounting replacement tires and wheels, you should not
exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire
to set the beads without additional precautions listed below. If the beads
do not seat at the maximum pressure indicated, re-lubricate and try again.
If a pressure in excess of the maximum pressure indicated is required, the
following additional precautions must be taken to protect the person
mounting the tire:
First check to insure that you have the correct tire and wheel size. For
mounting pressures up to 20 psi greater than the maximum pressure on the
tire sidewall: When inflating the tire:
1. First again lubricate the tire bead and wheel bead seat area
2. Stand at a minimum of 12 feet away from the tire wheel assembly
3. Use both eye and ear protection
For a mounting pressure more than 20 psi greater than the maximum pressure, a Ford Dealer or other tire
service professional should do the mounting.
Always inflate steel carcass tires with a remote air fill with the person inflating standing at a minimum of 12 ft.
away from the tire wheel assembly.
