The Traction Control™ system allows your vehicle to make better use of
available traction on slippery surfaces, especially snow and ice covered
roads. If you get stuck in snow or ice or on a very slippery road surface, try
switching the system off.This may allow excess wheel spin to “dig” the
vehicle out and enable a successful “rocking” maneuver.The traction control
indicator flashes during a Traction Control™ system event.
5 | ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
ABS provides enhanced security by detecting wheel lockup in hard braking
situations.The light will illuminate when you start your engine; however, if it
stays on, continues to flash or fails to illuminate, see your dealership's
service department immediately. (Wheels sometimes accumulate brake
dust. Clean them with Motorcraft Wheel and Tire Cleaner, available from
your authorized Ford, Lincoln or Mercury dealer.)

It's normal for warning and control lights to illuminate when you start your
