WHAT IS TRAIL TURN ASSIST
Trail turn assist can reduce the turningradius of your vehicle by applying thebrakes to the inside rear wheel inlow-speed, high steering-angle maneuvers.
TRAIL TURN ASSIST
PRECAUTIONS
Note:Do not use trail turn assist on dry,hard surfaced roads. Doing so can produceexcessive noise, increase tire wear and maydamage drive line, or braking components.Trail turn assist is only intended for slippery,or loose surfaces.
You may hear noise from the anti-lockbrake system while trail turn assist isactive. This is normal operation.
TRAIL TURN ASSIST
LIMITATIONS
Trail turn assist can only be used when thevehicle’s four-wheel drive system is in thefour-wheel drive high (4H), or four-wheeldrive low (4L) modes.
Trail Turn Assist cannot be used when thevehicle’s rear differential is locked. If therear differential has recently been lockedprior to Trail Turn Assist being turned on,Trail Turn Assist may not activate until itcan confirm that the rear differential isunlocked.
SWITCHING TRAIL TURN
ASSIST ON AND OFF
You can switch the trail turn assist on oroff from the features section of the vehicleon screen display.
1.Press Features on the touchscreen.
2.Press Trail Turn Assist.
3.Switch Trail Turn Assist on or off.
Once switched on, trail turn assistactivates when the:
•Vehicle speed is less than 12 mph(19.3 km/h).
•Vehicle is in four-wheel drive high (4H)or four-wheel drive low (4L).
•Rear differential is fully unlocked.
•Steering wheel is almost fully turnedto the left or right.
You can deactivate trail turn assist byperforming any of the following:
•Selecting two-wheel drive high (2H) orfour-wheel drive auto (4A).
•Switch on the rear locking differential.
•Reducing the steering wheel input.
Trail turn assist remains on, even ifdeactivated, until you switch it off in thetouchscreen. You can switch off trail turnassist through the touchscreen at any time.
TRAIL TURN ASSIST
INDICATORS
When trail turn assist is on, oneof these two indicators will bedisplayed, depending on thedirection of the vehicle’s lastturn. When the feature is on butnot in use, the indicator light willbe gray. When the feature is active theindicator light will be green.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
HOW DOES ELECTRIC POWERSTEERING WORK
Adaptive Learning
Adaptive learning helps correct roadirregularities and improves overall handlingand steering. It communicates with thebrake system to help operate advancedstability control and crash avoidancesystems.
Note:When the battery is disconnected ora new battery is installed, you must driveyour vehicle a short distance before thesystem relearns the strategy and reactivatesall systems.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•An improperly inflated tire.
•Uneven tire wear.
•Loose or worn suspensioncomponents.
•Improper vehicle alignment.
Note:A high crown in the road or highcrosswinds could also make the steeringwander or pull.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERINGPRECAUTIONS
WARNING: The electric powersteering system has diagnostic checksthat continuously monitor the system. Ifa fault is detected, a message displaysin the information display. Stop yourvehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.Switch the vehicle off. After at least 10
seconds, switch the vehicle on andwatch the information display for asteering system warning message. If asteering system warning messagereturns, have the system checked assoon as possible.
WARNING: If the system detectsan error, you may not feel a difference inthe steering, however a serious conditionmay exist. Have your vehicle checked assoon as possible. Failure to do so mayresult in loss of steering control.
Adapt your speed and driving behavioraccording to reduced steering assist.
Extreme continuous steering may increasethe effort to steer. This occurs to preventinternal overheating and damage to thesteering system. If this occurs, you will notlose the ability to steer your vehiclemanually nor will it cause damage to thesystem. Normal steering and driving allowsthe system to cool down and steeringassist returns to normal.
Note:There is no fluid reservoir to check orfill.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERINGADAPTIVE STEERING - VEHICLESWITH: ACTIVE STEERING
Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS)
The adaptive steering system changes thesteering ratio with changes to vehiclespeed, optimizing the steering response inall conditions. The system also changeswhen you switch on the transmissiontow/haul feature. When you select thetow/haul button, the adaptive steeringsystem reduces vehicle sensitivity tosteering inputs at higher vehicle speeds,while maintaining the ease of parking andmaneuverability at low speeds.

2023 F-150 (TFD) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202206, DOMSteering

Note:The adaptive steering systemcontinuously monitors for faults. If thesystem detects a fault, a message appearsin the information display. If a red warningmessage displays, stop your vehicle as soonas it is safe to do so. The message couldclear if the fault is no longer present. If anadaptive steering system warning messageappears each time you start your vehicle,have the system checked as soon aspossible.
Note:The system has a locking device. Itremains mechanically locked at a fixedsteering ratio with the lock engaged. Youmay notice a click when you turn yourvehicle on or off.
Note:If your vehicle loses electrical poweror detects a fault when you are driving, thesystem shuts down and you retain a normalsteering function with a fixed steering ratio.During this time, it is possible that thesteering wheel could not be straight whenthe vehicle is driving straight ahead. Inaddition, you could notice that the steeringwheel angle required to steer your vehiclecould be different.
Note:During parking maneuvers, theadaptive steering system balances the driverworkload for various steering wheel inputsand vehicle loading conditions. Underextreme operating conditions the systemlocking device could engage. This strategyprevents overheating and permanentdamage to the adaptive steering system.Typical steering and driving maneuversallow the system to cool and return tonormal operation.
Adaptive Learning
Adaptive learning helps correct roadirregularities and improves overall handlingand steering. It communicates with thebrake system to help operate advancedstability control and crash avoidancesystems. Additionally, whenever youdisconnect the battery or install a newbattery, you must drive your vehicle a shortdistance before the system relearns thestrategy and reactivates all systems.
