PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
WARNING:Vehicle modifications involving braking system,
aftermarket roof racks, suspension, steering system, tire
construction and wheel or tire size may change the handling
characteristics of your vehicle and may adversely affect the
performance of the AdvanceTrac® system. In addition, installing any
stereo loudspeakers may interfere with and adversely affect the
AdvanceTrac® system. Install any aftermarket stereo loudspeaker as far
as possible from the front center console, the tunnel, and the front
seats in order to minimize the risk of interfering with the
AdvanceTrac® sensors. Reducing the effectiveness of the
AdvanceTrac® system could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
WARNING:Remember that even advanced technology cannot
defy the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a
vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Aggressive
driving on any road condition can cause you to lose control of your
vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the AdvanceTrac® system is an indication that at least
some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this could
reduce the operator’s ability to control the vehicle potentially resulting
in a loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. If
your AdvanceTrac® system activates, SLOW DOWN.
The AdvanceTrac® system helps you keep control of your vehicle when
on a slippery surface. The electronic stability control portion of the
system helps avoid skids and lateral slides. The traction control system
helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction. See theTraction
Controlchapter for details on traction control system operation.
Note:On utility models, the system also includes curve control. Curve
control assists in vehicle handling in following the road during adverse
maneuvering, and roll stability control which helps avoid a vehicle
rollover.

You can use the tray to mount
electronic equipment. It will latch in
either the full-forward or
full-rearward position. Push down
on the levers on both sides of the
tray to release the latches and move
the tray.
ROOF RACKS AND LOAD CARRIERS
(IF EQUIPPED, UTILITY ONLY)
WARNING:When loading the roof rail crossbars, it is
recommended to evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a
low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with higher centers of gravity,
may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such
as slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken
when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
Note:The maximum recommended load is 100 pounds (45 kilograms),
evenly distributed on the crossbars.
Note:Never place loads directly on the roof panel. The roof panel is not
designed to directly carry a load.
For proper function of the roof rack system, you must place loads
directly on crossbars affixed to the roof rack side rails. Your vehicle may
be equipped with factory-installed crossbars. Ford Genuine Accessory
crossbars, designed specifically for your vehicle, are also recommended
for use with your roof rack system.
Make sure that the load is securely fastened. Check the tightness of the
load before driving and at each fuel stop.

Adjusting the Crossbars (If Equipped)
Note:Wind noise can be minimized by either removing or repositioning
the crossbars when they are not is use. Position the rear crossbar fully
rearward and the front crossbar 10 inches (25 centimeters) from the
front end-cap.
1. Loosen the tie-down hooks at both sides of the
crossbar by turning them counterclockwise. A
small screwdriver or similar tool can be used to
break the torque by inserting the shaft into the
tie-down hook and twisting.
2. Slide the crossbar to the desired position. This
may require someone on each side of the crossbar.
3. Tighten the tie-down hooks at both sides of the
crossbar by turning them clockwise until tight. A
small screwdriver or similar tool can be used to
tighten the hook an additional half turn.
Make sure to check that the tie-down hooks are tight each time a load is
added or removed from the roof rack, and periodically while traveling.
Make sure that the load is secure before traveling.
LOAD LIMIT
Vehicle Loading – With and Without a Trailer
This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle and/or
trailer, to keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating
capability, with or without a trailer. Properly loading your vehicle will
provide maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading
your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining
your vehicle’s weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle’s
Tire Label or Safety Compliance Certification Label:
Base Curb Weight– is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of
fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or
optional equipment.
Vehicle Curb Weight– is the weight of your new vehicle when you
picked it up from your authorized dealer plus any aftermarket
equipment.
