Malfunction Indicator Lamp
It illuminates when the ignition
is on and the engine is off, this is
normal. If it illuminates when the
engine is on this indicates the emission
control system requires service. If it flashes,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
See Emission Law (page 714). See
Starting and Stopping the Engine –
Warning Lamps
(page 238).
Stop Safely Illuminates if an electrical
component requires service or a
failure that causes your vehicle
to shutdown or enter into a limited
operating mode.
Tailgate Ajar It illuminates when the ignition
is on and the tailgate is not
completely closed.

WHAT IS THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
The electronic locking differential is a
device housed in the rear axle, and can
provide additional traction when needed.
HOW DOES THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
WORK
You can activate the differential
electronically and shift it on the fly within
the operating speed range. The electronic
differential disengages when the vehicle
speed exceeds a set value, and reengages
when the vehicle speed goes below a set
value. See Switching the Electronic
Locking Differential On and Off (page
280). It also engages based on certain
selected drive modes. See Selecting a
Drive Mode (page 350). The electronic
locking differential is for use in mud, rocks,
sand, or any off-road condition where you
need maximum traction.
Note: The electronic locking differential can
activate or deactivate automatically based
on speed, four-wheel drive mode, and drive
mode selection.
See Switching the
Electronic Locking Differential On and
Off
(page 280).
Note: The electronic locking differential is
for off-road use only and is not for use on
dry pavement. Using the electronic locking
differential on dry pavement results in
increased tire wear, noise and vibration. HOW DOES THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
WORK - RAPTOR
You can activate the differential
electronically and shift it on the fly within
the operating speed range. The electronic
differential disengages when the vehicle
speed exceeds a set value and it reengages
when the vehicle speed goes below a set
value depending on drive mode. See
Switching the Electronic Locking
Differential On and Off (page 280). The
electronic locking differential is for use in
mud, rocks, sand, or any off-road condition
where you need maximum traction.
Note:
The electronic locking differential can
activate or deactivate automatically based
on speed, four-wheel drive mode, and drive
mode selection. See
Switching the
Electronic Locking Differential On and
Off
(page 280).
Note: The electronic locking differential is
for off-road use only and is not for use on
dry pavement. Using the electronic locking
differential on dry pavement results in
increased tire wear, noise and vibration.
Note: The electronic locking differential is
not available in 2H.
ELECTRONIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Operating the Electronic Locking
Differential with a Spare or
Mismatched Tires
On vehicles with an electronic locking
differential, the size of the spare tire can
affect performance of the system. If there
is a significant difference between the two
rear tires, you may have limited electronic
locking differential functionality. If the
system has difficulty disengaging, release
279
2022 F-150 (TFD) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202109, First-Printing Electronic Locking Differential
(If Equipped)

the accelerator pedal and turn the steering
wheel in the opposite direction when
rolling. We recommend engaging and
disengaging the electronic locking
differential at a stop when you mount a
spare on the rear axle.
SWITCHING THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL ON
AND OFF - 4X4
The button to activate and deactivate the
electronic locking differential is in the
center of the drive mode rotary switch.
To manually activate or deactivate the
electronic locking differential, press the
electronic locking differential button.
Note:
The electronic locking differential can
activate or deactivate automatically based
on speed, four-wheel drive mode, and drive
mode selection. See Selecting a Drive
Mode (page 350).
