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
FRONT OFF-ROAD CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The front view camera is designed to be used as an aid in off-road
conditions, such as rock-climbing, slow-speed maneuvering, and cresting
hills when the front view may otherwise be obstructed through the
windshield. This feature adds front imaging off-road assistance to the
driver at vehicle speeds less than 15 mph (25 km/h).

1Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.2Fill 6 mm to 14 mm (1/4 inch to 9/16 inch) below bottom of fill hole.
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.4Approximate dry fill capacity including transmission fluid cooling system, actual refill capacities
will vary based on vehicle application and transmission fluid cooling system (i.e. coolers size,
cooling lines, auxiliary cooler capacities). The amount of transmission fluid and fluid level should
be set by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.5Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine oil need only meet the
requirements of Ford specification WSS-M2C945-A and the API Certification mark.
