MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL
A.Fan speed control:Controls the volume of air circulated in your
vehicle. Adjust to select the desired fan speed or switch off. If you
switch the fan off, the windshield may fog up.
B.Temperature control:Controls the temperature of the air circulated
in your vehicle. Adjust to select the desired temperature.
C.Air distribution control:Adjust to select the desired air
distribution.
•MAX A/C:Select to distribute maximum air conditioning through the
instrument panel air vents. This mode is more economical and
efficient than normal air conditioning.
•NORM A/C:Select to switch the air conditioning off and on. Air
conditioning cools your vehicle using outside air. To improve air
conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows
slightly open for two to three minutes.
•VENT:Select to distribute air through the instrument panel air vents.
•OFF:Select to turn the system off.
•FLR:Select to distribute air through the floor vents.
•MIX:Select to distribute air through the instrument panel and floor
air vents.
Select to distribute air through the windshield air vents. You
can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a
thin covering of ice. You can also increase the temperature and
fan speed to improve clearing.

Trailer Lamps
WARNING:Never connect any trailer lamp wiring to the
vehicle’s tail lamp wiring; this may damage the electrical system
resulting in a fire. Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible for
assistance in proper trailer tow wiring installation. Additional electrical
equipment may be required.
Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running
lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working.
Using a Step Bumper (If Equipped)
The rear bumper is equipped with an integral hitch and only requires a
ball with a one-inch (25.4 millimeter) shank diameter. The bumper has a
5000-pound (2268 kilogram) trailer weight and a 500-pound (227
kilogram) tongue weight capacity.
If it is necessary to relocate the hitch ball position, you must install a
frame-mounted trailer hitch.
Before Towing a Trailer
Practice turning, stopping and backing up to get the feel of your
vehicle-trailer combination before starting on a trip. When turning, make
wider turns so the trailer wheels clear curbs and other obstacles.
When Towing a Trailer
•Do not drive faster than 70 mph (113 km/h) during the first 500 miles
(800 kilometers).
•Do not make full-throttle starts.
•Check your hitch, electrical connections and trailer wheel lug nuts
thoroughly after you have traveled 50 miles (80 kilometers).
•When stopped in congested or heavy traffic during hot weather, place
the gearshift in positionPto aid engine and transmission cooling and
to help air conditioning performance.
•Turn off the speed control with heavy loads or in hilly terrain. The
speed control may turn off automatically when you are towing on
long, steep grades.
•
Shift to a lower gear when driving down a long or steep hill. Do not apply
the brakes continuously, as they may overheat and become less effective.
•If your transmission is equipped with a Grade Assist or Tow/Haul feature,
use this feature when towing. This provides engine braking and helps
eliminate excessive transmission shifting for optimum fuel economy and
transmission cooling.

What You Should Know About Fail-Safe Cooling
If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to
be driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred.
The fail-safe distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load and
terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat, the engine coolant temperature gauge
will move to the red (hot) area and:
The coolant temperature warning light will illuminate.
The service engine soon indicator will illuminate.
If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine
will automatically switch to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled
cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs the vehicle will still operate. However:
•The engine power will be limited.
•The air conditioning system will be disabled.
Continued operation will increase the engine temperature and the engine
will completely shut down, causing steering and braking effort to increase.
Once the engine temperature cools, the engine can be restarted. Take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer as soon as possible to minimize
engine damage.
When Fail-Safe Mode is Activated
WARNING:Fail-safe mode is for use during emergencies only.
Operate the vehicle in fail-safe mode only as long as necessary to
bring the vehicle to rest in a safe location and seek immediate repairs.
When in fail-safe mode, the vehicle will have limited power, will not be
able to maintain high-speed operation, and may completely shut down
without warning, potentially losing engine power, power steering assist,
and power brake assist, which may increase the possibility of a crash
resulting in serious injury.

equivalent meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118-A.9If your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant it 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.10Fill Dana rear axles to 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch (6 mm to 14 mm) below bottom of fill hole.11Optional fuel tank 55.0 gallons (208.0L).12Warning:The air conditioning refrigerant system contains refrigerant R–134a under high pressure.
Opening the air conditioning refrigerant system can cause personal injury. Only qualified personnel
should service the air conditioning refrigerant system.
