During Traction Control

௢ operation you may hear an electric motor type

of sound coming from the engine compartment and the engine will not
“rev-up” when you push further on the accelerator. This is normal
system behavior.

If you should become stuck in snow
or ice or on a very slippery road
surface, try switching the Traction
Control

௢ 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.

If the traction control indicator
comes on and stays lit, either:
• the Traction Control௢ system

requires service by an authorized dealer, or

• the customer has disabled the system using the traction control switch

located on the left side of the instrument panel.

The Traction Control

௢ system will be on every time you turn the ignition

key from OFF to ON until you deactivate the system using the traction
control switch on the instrument panel left of the steering column.

STEERING

Ford Motor Company recommends that an authorized dealer
inspect all steering column assemblies in use in vehicles involved

in a collision. Failure to inspect and if necessary replace the steering
column assembly could result in severe injury or death in the event of
a collision.

Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the steering column,
its adaptive module, or its fuses. See your authorized dealer.

To help prevent damage to the power steering system, never hold the
steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it stops) for more than
a few seconds when the engine is running.
