ADVANCETRACMODES
The AdvanceTracsystem, when used with off-road mode, provides the
SVT Raptor with alternative AdvanceTraccalibrations which improve
off-road performance.
With off-road mode on, the following changes to AdvanceTracwill
occur:
•Pressing the AdvanceTracbutton once–This places the vehicle
in the off-road sport mode with the ESC, RSC and ABS active. TCS
and ESC are altered to allow for more tire spin and vehicle slip. It also
puts the ABS in a unique off-road mode calibration.
Note:Operating the vehicle in this mode does not guarantee that the
vehicle will not become stuck in sand, snow or mud, etc. It is the
driver’s responsibility to assess off-road situations and determine if the
terrain is passable.
•Pressing and holding the AdvanceTracbutton–This places the
vehicle in the off-road sport mode with the ESC, RSC, and traction
control systems disabled and also puts the ABS in a unique off-road
mode calibration. In addition to the benefits of disabling traction
control as described previously, disabling the RSC system allows for
more “spirited” off-road driving maneuvers.
The ABS off-road mode desensitizes the ABS. This helps on very
rough terrain/adverse driving where the ABS may become too active
and hinder the type of driving required in off-road situations.
Note:When off-road mode is on, pressing the AdvanceTracbutton will
change the ABS to an off-road specific calibration.

HILL DESCENT MODE
Hill descent allows the driver to set and maintain vehicle speed while
descending steep grades regardless of surface conditions. Refer to the
Message centerin your F-150 owner guide for hill-descent related
messages.
Hill descent control can maintain vehicle speeds on downhill grades
between 2 and 20 mph (3 and 32 km/h). Between 20 and 40 mph (32
and 64 km/h), the system remains armed, but descent speed cannot be
set or maintained. If vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64 km/h), the
system is disabled. After this point, vehicle speed must drop below
40 mph (64 km/h), and the hill descent control button must be pressed
again to engage the feature.

TIRES
Proper tire maintenance and replacement are critical to your vehicle’s
performance and helps keep you and your passengers safe. 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 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 you need to
replace your tires, please visit your Ford or Lincoln Mercury Dealership
for name-brand tires and people who know your vehicle.
