SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991 to “Polish
the Ford Oval” by creating low-volume, factory-produced vehicles
designed for those select few whose idea of driving is a high-powered,
passionate experience — not just a means of getting from point A to
point B.
In a move to support this spirited enthusiasm, Ford Motor Company
carefully integrated the wide array of talent in the company into a small,
cross-functional group of engineers and product planners, housed
together under one roof with a common mission: to create vehicles
specifically designed to meet the unique needs and desires of the
knowledgeable driving enthusiast.

Upfitter controls
The auxiliary switch board on the
center console makes aftermarket
customization easier, with four
prewired switches attached to the
power distribution box for electrical
accessories.
These switches are labeled AUX 1,
AUX 2, AUX 3 and AUX 4. They will
only operate while the ignition is in the on position, whether the engine
is running or not. It is, however, recommended that the engine remain
running to maintain battery charge when using the switches for extended
duration or higher current draws. When switched on by the operator
they provide 10 amps, 15 amps or 30 amps of electrical battery power
for a variety of uses.
The switches control relays and fuses that are located under the hood in
the auxiliary power distribution box. Refer to theRoadside Emergencies
chapter of your Owner’s Guide for information on fuse and relay
locations. See your authorized dealer for service.
There will also be one power lead for each switch found as a blunt-cut
and sealed wire located to the right of the glove box door and just above
the passenger side kick panel.
Additional pass through circuits that run through the dash panel to
under the hood are located in the same location.
The relays are coded as follows:
Switch Circuit number Wire color Fuse
AUX 1 CAC05 Yellow 30A
AUX 2 CAC06 Green with
Brown Trace30A
AUX 3 CAC07 Violet with
Green Trace15A
AUX 4 CAC08 Brown 10 A
FRONT OFF-ROAD CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The front view camera is designed to be used as an aid in off-road
conditions, such as rock-climbing, slow-speed maneuvering, and cresting
hills when the front view may otherwise be obstructed through the
windshield. This feature adds front imaging off-road assistance to the
driver at vehicle speeds less than 15 mph (25 km/h).

8 inches (200 mm) 31 mph (50 kph)
10 inches (250 mm) 19 mph (30 kph)
12 inches (300 mm) 8 mph (12 kph)
18 to 30 inches (450 mm to
760 mm)4 mph (7 kph)
Reverse – up to 30 inches
(760 mm)Less than 6 mph (10 kph)
Note:Failure to follow the recommended speeds may result in vehicle
damage.
High speed off-roading
The off-road driving discussed thus far has focused on the type of events
typically encountered during slow speed off-road driving conditions. The
F-150 SVT Raptor provides excellent performance in a full size pick-up
truck during these slower speed conditions, but truly excels at higher
speed “baja style” off-road driving. High speed off-roading presents a
unique challenge, but extra care and caution should be taken before
engaging in this type of driving. If you plan on using the truck for severe,
high speed off-road use, the following is recommended:
•Equip your truck with the safety equipment used for the Stock-Full
Class as defined in the rule books for the Best in the Desert Racing
(www.bitd.com) and SCORE International Off-Road Racing
(www.score-international.com).
•Use personal safety equipment including a SNELL SA certified helmet
and approved neck restraint device.
•Before venturing off-road in unfamiliar areas at high speeds, do a low
speed reconnaissance run (“prerun”) to become aware of any
obstacles that you will encounter.
Ford SVT has engineered your F-150 Raptor for off-road use beyond
what is normal for a F-150. However, it can incur damage if driven
beyond its capabilities. Skid plates, shock guards and running boards
were designed to help limit damage to vital components and exterior
finishes, but cannot prevent all damage if driven in extreme off-road
conditions. Damage to skid plates, shock guards, running boards and
exterior finishes as well as bent, cracked or broken body, frame and
chassis components may not be covered by warranty.
