SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991 to “Polish
the Ford Oval” by creating low-volume, factory-produced vehicles
designed for those select few whose idea of driving is a high-powered,
passionate experience — not just a means of getting from point A to
point B.
In a move to support this spirited enthusiasm, Ford Motor Company
carefully integrated the wide array of talent in the company into a small,
cross-functional group of engineers and product planners, housed
together under one roof with a common mission: to create vehicles
specifically designed to meet the unique needs and desires of the
knowledgeable driving enthusiast.

Upfitter controls
The auxiliary switch board on the
center console makes aftermarket
customization easier, with four
prewired switches attached to the
power distribution box for electrical
accessories.
These switches are labeled AUX 1,
AUX 2, AUX 3 and AUX 4. They will
only operate while the ignition is in the on position, whether the engine
is running or not. It is, however, recommended that the engine remain
running to maintain battery charge when using the switches for extended
duration or higher current draws. When switched on by the operator
they provide 10 amps, 15 amps or 30 amps of electrical battery power
for a variety of uses.
The switches control relays and fuses that are located under the hood in
the auxiliary power distribution box. Refer to theRoadside Emergencies
chapter of your Owner’s Guide for information on fuse and relay
locations. See your authorized dealer for service.
There will also be one power lead for each switch found as a blunt-cut
and sealed wire located to the right of the glove box door and just above
the passenger side kick panel.
Additional pass through circuits that run through the dash panel to
under the hood are located in the same location.
The relays are coded as follows:
Switch Circuit number Wire color Fuse
AUX 1 CAC05 Yellow 30A
AUX 2 CAC06 Green with
Brown Trace30A
AUX 3 CAC07 Violet with
Green Trace15A
AUX 4 CAC08 Brown 10 A
DRIVING YOUR F-150 SVT RAPTOR OFF-ROAD
In addition to providing an excellent on-road driving experience, the
F-150 SVT Raptor excels at all types of off-road driving. The truck has
been designed and equipped to allow you to explore those places where
the road doesn’t take you whether it’s a forest trail or the open desert.

Before going off-roading, consult with your local governmental agencies
to determine designated off-road trails and recreation areas. Also, be
sure to understand any off-road vehicle registration requirements for the
area in which you plan on driving.
Tread Lightlyis an educational program designed to increase public
awareness of land-use regulations and responsibilities in our nation’s
wilderness areas. Ford joins the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land
Management in encouraging you to help preserve our national forest and
other public and private lands bytreading lightly.
Before taking your F-150 SVT Raptor off-roading, a basic vehicle
inspection should be done to ensure that the vehicle is in top working
condition.
It is always recommended that at least two vehicles are used while
off-roading. The “buddy system” helps ensure that help is close at hand
should a vehicle become stuck or damaged. It is also wise to take
supplies such as a first aid kit, supply of water, tow strap, cell or satellite
phone with you any time an off-road excursion is planned.
WARNING:Off-roading can be extremely dangerous and carries
inherent risks that may not be preventable even with the best
precautions. Ford strongly recommends driving within your ability and
taking every safety precaution, including those found here and at other
off-road driving organizations such as the Best in the Desert Racing
(www.bitd.com) and SCORE International Off Road Racing.
Off-road screen
The real-time status of the Raptor’s off-road systems can be continuously
monitored using the first off-road screen found under the Truck Apps
menu in the message center.
SeeMessage centerin theInstrument Clusterchapter of your Owner’s
Guide for more information.
Basic off-road driving techniques
•Grip the steering wheel with thumbs on the outside of the rim. This
will reduce the risk of injury due to abrupt steering wheel motions
that occur when negotiating rough terrain. Do not grip the steering
wheel with thumbs inside the rim.
•Throttle, brake and steering inputs should be made in a smooth and
controlled manner. Sudden inputs to the controls can cause loss of
traction or “upset” the vehicle, especially while on sloped terrain or
while crossing obstacles such as rocks or logs.

WRECKER TOWING
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact your roadside assistance
center or a professional towing service.
It is required that your vehicle be towed with flatbed equipment. When
towing with a flatbed, 4x4 blocks must be used when loading/unloading
your vehicle. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not
approved a slingbelt towing procedure.
If the vehicle is towed by other means or incorrectly, vehicle
damage may occur.

Your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and is considered lubricated for
life. These lubricants do not need to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is
required or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed
any time the rear axle has been submerged in water.3Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission fluid requirements are
indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick handle. Check the container to verify the fluid being
added is of the correct type. Refer to yourscheduled maintenance informationto determine the
correct service interval.

WARRANTY COVERAGE
The F-150 Raptor carries the same New Vehicle Limited Warranty as
other Ford F-150 models. This information is covered in its entirety in
yourWarranty Guide.
Warranty service for the F-150 Raptor or any SVT vehicle can be
obtained at any Ford dealer nationwide.
SVT does not recommend modifying or racing SVT vehicles, as they are
designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory. The
Warranty Guidediscusses vehicle usage and the installation of
aftermarket parts and their effect on warranty coverage.
Ford SVT has engineered your F-150 Raptor for off-road use beyond
what is normal for a F-150. However, it can incur damage if driven
beyond its capabilities. Skid plates, shock guards and running boards
were designed to help limit damage to vital components and exterior
finishes, but cannot prevent all damage if driven in extreme off-road
conditions. Damage to skid plates, shock guards, running boards and
exterior finishes as well as bent, cracked or broken body, frame and
chassis components may not be covered by warranty.
Please see theWarranty Guidefor complete information.
Perform Multi-Point Inspection and the inspections outlined in
Scheduled Maintenance Intervalsfound in thescheduled
maintenance information. Refer to the vehicle’sWorkshop Manualfor
removal and installation procedures. Replace with genuine Ford and
Motorcraftservice parts as needed.
These modifications may not necessarily protect your engine from
damage in competition conditions. Subjecting your vehicle to competition
conditions even with these proposed modifications may render repairs
non-reimbursable under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
