GENERAL DRIVING POINTS
General Information
•Accelerate smoothly and evenly. Rapidacceleration increases fuelconsumption without increasing engineperformance.
•When approaching a hill, press theaccelerator smoothly to start theincline at full power, and then shiftdown as needed to maintain vehiclespeed.
•When going down a hill, or long steepgrades, prevent overspeeding of theengine. Normally, choose the samegear to descend the hill that you use toascend the hill. The engine governorhas no control over engine speed whenit is being pushed by a loaded vehicle.
•Do not operate in a gear that permitsan engine speed more than themaximum governed speed or high-idleRPM (no load).
•Always shift to a lower gear at highaltitudes to prevent engine smoking.
Backing Up
WARNING: All vehicles have blindspots. To reduce the risk of severe injuryor property damage, never move yourvehicle to the side or rear or change laneswithout being sure your way is clear onboth sides and to your rear.
WARNING: To reduce the risk ofthe possibility of personal injury whilebacking up the vehicle, always be sureyour vehicle’s path is clear.
Before backing up your vehicle, be sure youcan do so safely. If anything behind the cablimits your view, do not rely on mirrorsalone to make sure that your intended pathis clear. If other people are in the vicinity,have someone standing well behind yourvehicle and outside of your intended path(visible through an exterior mirror) guideyou as you back up.
Although OSHA or some governmentalregulations may require the use of anelectrical or mechanical back up alarm towarn bystanders, such an alarm does notguarantee that the intended path is clear.When in doubt, get out of your vehicle andvisually check the intended path is clear.Back up slowly as to allow others time tomove, if necessary.
If you install an electrical back up alarm,connect it to the backup lamp circuit.
Parking
WARNING: When parking yourvehicle, do not leave the transmission ingear; if the key is in the on position andthe vehicle rolls, the engine could start.Failure to follow these instructions couldresult in an unattended vehicle moving,possibly causing personal injury orproperty damage.
Always use the parking brake. Whenparking on a grade, block the wheels andturn the front wheels to one side so that ifyour vehicle rolls, the front tires act againstthe curb to stop your vehicle. The frontwheels are more effective at stopping arolling vehicle than the rear wheels.

AUXILIARY SWITCHES (IF
EQUIPPED)
For maximum vehicle performance, keepthe following information in mind whenadding accessories or equipment to yourvehicle:
•When adding accessories, equipment,passengers and luggage to yourvehicle, do not exceed the total weightcapacity of the vehicle or of the frontor rear axle (GVWR or GAWR asindicated on the Safety ComplianceCertification label). Ask an authorizeddealer for specific weight information.
•The Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) and CanadianRadio TelecommunicationsCommission (CRTC) regulate the useof mobile communications systemsequipped with radio transmitters, forexample, two-way radios, telephonesand theft alarms. Any such equipmentinstalled in your vehicle should complywith Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) and CanadianRadio TelecommunicationsCommission (CRTC) regulations, andshould be installed by an authorizeddealer.
•An authorized dealer needs to installmobile communications systems.Improper installation may harm theoperation of your vehicle, particularlyif the manufacturer did not design themobile communication systemspecifically for automotive use.
•If you or an authorized Ford dealer addany non-Ford electrical or electronicaccessories or components to yourvehicle, you may adversely affectbattery performance and durability. Inaddition, you may also adversely affectthe performance of other electricalsystems in the vehicle.
The auxiliary switch option packageprovides four switches, mounted in thecenter of the instrument panel. Theseswitches operate when the ignition is onor from battery power, depending on theswitchable power distribution box fuselocations #82 and #83. We recommend,however, that the engine remain runningto maintain battery charge when using theauxiliary switches for extended periods oftime or higher current draws.
Note:When your vehicle has a dieselengine, use the auxiliary switches only whilethe engine is running. The glow plugs alsodrain battery power when the ignition key isin the on position. Using the auxiliaryswitches, even for limited amounts of time,can cause your battery to drain quickly andprevent your vehicle from restarting.
When switched on, the auxiliary switchesprovide 20 amps or 40 amps of electricalbattery power for a variety of personal orcommercial uses.
The relays for the auxiliary switches are inthe power distribution box under the hoodby the right-hand fender. See yourauthorized dealer for service.
Each switch includes a power lead, ablunt-cut and sealed wire below theinstrument panel and to the left of thesteering column in the driver footwell area.
The power leads are coded as shown:
