2018 FORD EXPEDITION instrument panel

Note:
The information display may show
messages during 4WD operation. See
Information Messages (page 123).
Your 4X4 control is located in one of the
following locations:
• On the instrument panel.
• On the
DRIVE MODE selection switch.
2H - 4X2
Delivers power to the rear wheels only. The
information display momentarily shows
2H when this mode is selected. This mode
is appropriate for normal on-road driving
on dry pavement and provides the best
fuel economy.
Note: 2H may turn on or off automatically
based on Drive Mode selection. See
Drive
Control (page 261).
4A - 4X4 AUTO
Provides electronic controlled four-wheel
drive with power delivered to the front and
rear wheels, as required, for increased
traction. When you select this mode, the
information display shows 4A. The system
continuously monitors road conditions,
driver input as well as other vehicle sensors
and optimizes the system's behavior based
on drive mode selection.
Note: On vehicles with a rotary drive mode
switch, 4A should remain on in Mud/Rut and
Sand but with aggressive tuning which
provides electronically locked four-wheel
drive power to front and rear wheels, the
same as traditional 4H.
Note: 4A may turn on or off automatically
based on Drive Mode selection. See
Drive
Control (page 261). 4H - 4X4 HIGH
Provides electronically locked four-wheel
drive power to front and rear wheels. When
you select this mode, the information
display shows 4H. This mode is not
recommended for use on dry pavement.
This mode is only intended for severe
winter or off-road conditions, such as deep
snow, ice or shallow sand.
Note:
4H may turn on or off automatically
based on Drive Mode selection. In
configurations with a rotary Drive Mode
switch, 4H functionality is within the
Mud/Ruts and Sand Drive Modes even when
the indicator lamp shows 4A. See
Drive
Control (page 261).
4L - 4X4 LOW
Provides electronically locked four-wheel
drive power to both the front and rear
wheels with additional gearing for
increased torque multiplication. Intended
only for off-road applications such as deep
sand, steep grades, or pulling heavy
objects. 4L - 4X4 low does not engage
when your vehicle is moving above
3 mph
(5 km/h); this is normal and should be no
reason for concern. Refer to Shifting to or
from 4L - 4X4 low for proper operation.
Note: 4L may turn off automatically based
on Drive Mode selection. See
Drive Control
(page 261).
Shifting Between 4WD System Modes
Note: Momentarily releasing the accelerator
pedal when a shift in progress message
displays improves engagement and
disengagement performance.
Note: Do not perform this operation if the
rear wheels are slipping.
Note: Some noise may be heard as the
system shifts or engages; this is normal.

panel.
Note: The electric parking brake makes
noises during operation. This is normal.
Applying the Electric Parking
Brake Pull the switch upward.
The red warning lamp flashes
during operation and illuminates
when the parking brake is
applied. Note:
It remains illuminated for a short
period of time after you switch the ignition
off.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces engine power
at the same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
WARNING: The stability and
traction control light illuminates steadily
if the system detects a failure. Make sure
you did not manually disable the traction
control system using the switch. If the
stability control and traction control light
is still illuminating steadily, have the
system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately. Operating your vehicle with
traction control disabled could lead to
an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.
The system automatically turns on each
time you switch the ignition on.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
switching traction control off may be
beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Note: When you switch traction control off,
stability control remains fully active. Switching the System Off The switch for the stability and traction
control system is on the instrument panel.
When you switch the system off, a
message and an illuminated icon appear
on the instrument cluster.
Use the switch again to return the traction
control system to normal operation.
Your vehicle may have MyKey restrictions
regarding this feature. See
Principle of
Operation (page 61).
System Indicator Lights and
Messages The stability and traction control
light temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and flashes:
• When a driving condition activates
either of the systems.
• If a problem occurs in either of the
systems. The stability and traction control
off light temporarily illuminates
on engine start-up and stays on:
• When you switch the traction control
system off.
• When you select an alternative stability
control mode.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING: Hill descent control
cannot control descent in all surface
conditions and circumstances, such as
ice or extremely steep grades. Hill
descent control is a driver assist system
and cannot substitute for good judgment
by the driver. Failure to do so may result
in loss of vehicle control, crash or serious
injury. WARNING:
Hill descent control
does not provide hill hold at zero miles
per hour (0 kilometers per hour). When
stopped, you must apply the parking
brake or place the vehicle in P (Park), or
it may roll away.
Hill descent control allows you to set and
maintain vehicle speed while descending
steep grades in various surface conditions.
Hill descent control can maintain vehicle
speeds on downhill grades between 2 mph
(3 km/h) and 12 mph (20 km/h). Above 20
mph (32 km/h), the system remains
armed, but you cannot use the system to
set or maintain the descent speed.
Hill descent control requires a cooling
down interval after a period of sustained
use. The amount of time that the feature
can remain active before cooling varies
with conditions. The system provides a
warning in the message center and a tone
sounds when the system is about to
disengage for cooling. At this time,
manually apply the brakes as needed to
maintain descent speed. USING HILL DESCENT
CONTROL Press and release the hill
descent button on the
instrument panel. The button
illuminates and a chime sounds when you
switch this feature on.
To increase descent speed, press the
accelerator pedal until you reach the
desired speed. To decrease descent
speed, press the brake pedal until you
reach the desired speed.
Whether accelerating or decelerating, once
you reach the desired descent speed,
remove your feet from the pedals and hill
descent control maintains the chosen
vehicle speed.
Note: You may observe noise from the ABS
pump motor during hill descent control
operation. This is a normal characteristic of
the ABS and should be no reason for
concern.
Hill Descent Modes
• At speeds between
2 mph (3 km/h)
and 20 mph (32 km/h): When you
press this button, the light flashes
indicating this feature is active. Your
vehicle maintains the speed you desire
while in this mode.
• At speeds between
20 mph (32 km/h)
and 40 mph (64 km/h): When you
press this button, the light is solid and
a message appears in the information
display indicating this feature is active.
Your vehicle does not maintain the
speed you desire and you cannot set
your descent speed.

HAZARD FLASHERS
Note:
The hazard flashers operate when
the ignition is in any position, or if the key is
not in the ignition. If used when the vehicle
is not running, the battery loses charge. As
a result, there may be insufficient power to
restart your vehicle. The flasher control is on the
instrument panel. Use your
hazard flashers when your
vehicle is creating a safety hazard for other
motorists.
• Press the flasher control and all front
and rear direction indicators flash.
• Press the button again to switch them
off.
FUEL SHUTOFF WARNING: If your vehicle has
been involved in a crash, have the fuel
system checked. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in fire, personal
injury or death.
Note: When you try to restart your vehicle
after a fuel shutoff, the vehicle makes sure
that various systems are safe to restart.
Once the vehicle determines the systems
are safe, then the vehicle allows you to
restart.
Note: In the event that your vehicle does
not restart after your third attempt, contact
a qualified technician.
The fuel pump shutoff stops the flow of
fuel to the engine in the event of a
moderate to severe crash. Not every
impact causes a shutoff.
Should your vehicle shut off after a crash,
you may restart your vehicle.
