FORD 2002 Explorer Sport Trac v.2 - Manual (Page 113)

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)
Four–wheel drive (4WD) supplies power to all four wheels. 4WD should
not be operated on dry pavement; driveline damage may occur.
4WD system indicator lights
• 4WD HIGH- illuminates when
4x4 HIGH is selected.
• 4WD LOW– illuminates when 4x4
LOW is selected.
If these lights illuminate when driving in 2WD, contact your Ford dealer
as soon as possible.
Electronic shift on the fly 4WD system
2WD - Power the rear wheels only; used for street and highway driving.
4X4 HIGH - Used for extra traction such as in snow or icy roads or in
off-road situations. Not intended for use on dry pavement.
4X4 LOW - Uses extra gearing to provide maximum power to all four
wheels. Intended only for off-road applications such as deep sand, steep
grades or pulling heavy objects. 4X4 LOW will not engage while the
vehicle is moving; this is normal and should be no reason for concern.
Refer to Shifting to/from 4X4 LOW for proper operation.
Shifting between 2WD and 4X4 HIGH
• Move the 4WD control between 2WD and 4X4 HIGH at any forward
speed.
Note: Do not perform this operation at speeds above 72 km/h (45 mph)
if the outside temperature is below 0°C (32°F).
