FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
Vehicles with a higher
center of gravity (utility and four-wheel
drive vehicles) handle differently than
vehicles with a lower center of gravity
(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,
excessive speed and abrupt steering in
these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously
increases the risk of losing control of your
vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death. WARNING:
Do not become
overconfident in the ability of four-wheel
drive vehicles. Although a four-wheel
drive vehicle may accelerate better than
a two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction
situations, it won't stop any faster than
two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive
at a safe speed.
Truck and utility vehicles can differ from
some other vehicles. Your vehicle could be
higher to allow it to travel over rough
terrain without getting stuck or damaging
underbody components. The differences
that make your vehicle so versatile also
make it handle differently than an ordinary
passenger car. Always maintain steering
wheel control, especially in rough terrain.
Since sudden changes in terrain can result
in abrupt steering wheel motion, make sure
you grip the steering wheel from the outside. Do not grip the spokes. Drive
cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from
concealed objects such as rocks and
stumps. Drive slower in strong crosswinds
which can affect the normal steering
characteristics of your vehicle. Be
extremely careful when driving on
pavement made slippery by loose sand,
water, gravel, snow or ice.
Note:
Do not use four-wheel drive high or
four-wheel drive low mode on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and can
damage drive components.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
LIMITATIONS
Operating Four-Wheel Drive with
a Spare or Mismatched Tires
(If
Equipped)
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of
the spare tire can affect the four-wheel
drive system. If there is a significant
difference between the size of the spare
tire and the remaining tires, you could have
limited four-wheel drive functionality.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, we
recommend that you do not:
• Exceed
50 mph (80 km/h) with a
four-wheel drive mode turned on.
• Turn on a four-wheel drive mode
unless the vehicle is stationary.
• Use a four-wheel drive mode on dry
pavement.
Driving with the full-size dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly can limit
four-wheel drive functionality, especially
when driving in a mechanically locked
four-wheel drive mode. You can experience
the following:
270
2022 F-150 (TFD) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202109, First-Printing Four-Wheel Drive
(If Equipped)

•
Additional noise from the transfer case
or other drive components.
• Difficulty shifting out of a mechanically
locked four-wheel drive mode.
Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly can lead to impairment of the
following:
• Comfort and noise.
• Winter weather driving capability.
• Wet driving capability.
• Four-wheel drive capability.
Mechanical Shift Blocking
On four-wheel drive vehicles with a
mechanically locked four-wheel drive high
mode, the transfer case distributes torque
to the front wheels by mechanically
interlocking the front and rear driveshafts
together. Various external factors can
affect shifting performance of this type of
system including, but not limited to:
• Vehicle acceleration.
• Dissimilar tire sizes.
• Steering input.
If the system detects a mechanical shift
blockage at speed after you select
two-wheel drive high, the message "4x4
Unable to Disengage See Manual", could
display momentarily. If this message
displays, one or more of the following
actions can relieve the mechanical shift
block:
• Momentary acceleration.
• Momentary braking.
• Bringing the vehicle to a stop.
• Shifting the transmission to neutral and
back to drive.
• Shifting the transmission to reverse
and back to drive.
• Driving the vehicle around a tight turn
at a slow speed. SELECTING A FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE MODE
The four-wheel drive mode control is on
the instrument panel.

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

HOW DOES STABILITY
CONTROL WORK
WARNING: Vehicle modifications
involving braking system, aftermarket
roof racks, suspension, steering system,
tire construction and wheel and tire size
may change the handling characteristics
of your vehicle and may adversely affect
the performance of the electronic
stability control system. In addition,
installing any stereo speakers may
interfere with and adversely affect the
electronic stability control system.
Reducing the effectiveness of the
electronic stability control 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 electronic stability
control 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. WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure

the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.
If a driving condition activates either the
stability control or traction control you may
experience the following conditions:
• The stability and traction control light
flashes.
• Your vehicle slows down.
• Reduced engine power.
The stability control system has several
features built into it to help you maintain
control of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic stability control enhances your
vehicle ’s ability to prevent skids or lateral
slides by applying brakes to one or more
of the wheels individually and, if necessary,
reducing engine power.
Roll Stability Control
Roll stability control enhances your
vehicle ’s ability to prevent rollovers by
detecting your vehicle ’s roll motion and
the rate at which it changes by applying
the brakes to one or more wheels
individually.
Curve Control
Curve control enhances your vehicle ’s
ability to follow the road when cornering
severely or avoiding objects in the roadway.
Curve control operates by reducing engine
power and, if necessary, applying brakes
to one or more of the wheels individually.
