WHAT IS G.O.A.T. MODE
CONTROL
Your vehicle has several goes over
any-type of terrain (G.O.A.T.) modes that
you can select for different driving
conditions. Depending on the mode that
you select, the system adjusts various
vehicle settings.
HOW DOES G.O.A.T. MODE
CONTROL WORK
Each selectable mode changes various
electronic and mechanical settings within
your vehicle to tailor its performance and
driving characteristics to on-road or
off-road driving conditions. The system
can alter steering feel and effort, traction
control, stability control, chassis controls,
powertrain response, transmission shift
points, four-wheel driveline settings and
the exhaust noise level to a
pre-determined setting, depending upon
the mode that you select.
Your vehicle reverts to normal mode each
time you start it.
Note:
Your vehicle has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor all systems for
proper operation. If a mode is unavailable
due to a system fault, your vehicle defaults
to normal mode and the driveline remains
in the four-wheel drive setting that you last
selected prior to the system fault. SELECTING A G.O.A.T. MODE -

TRAILER SWAY CONTROL WARNING: Turning off trailer sway
control increases the risk of loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death.
Ford does not recommend disabling this
feature except in situations where speed
reduction may be detrimental (such as
hill climbing), the driver has significant
trailer towing experience, and can control
trailer sway and maintain safe operation.
Note: This feature does not prevent trailer
sway, but reduces it when it begins.
Note: This feature cannot stop all trailers
from swaying. Note:
In some cases, if your vehicle speed
is too high, the system may turn on multiple
times, gradually reducing your vehicle speed.
The system applies the brakes to the
individual wheels and reduces engine
torque to aid vehicle stability. If the trailer
begins to sway, the stability control
warning lamp flashes and a message
appears in the information display. See
Information Messages (page 107). Slow
your vehicle down, pull safely to the side
of the road and check for correct load
distribution. See Load Carrying (page
237).
You can switch this feature off in the
information display. When you switch the
ignition on, the system automatically turns
on.
