INTRODUCTION
HomeLink Wireless ControlSystem
The universal garage door opener replacesthe common handheld garage door openerwith a three-button transmitter integratedinto the driver-side sun visor.
How Does The Garage Door OpenerWork
The system includes two primary features,a garage door opener and a platform forremote activation of devices within thehome. You can program garage doors aswell as entry gate operators, securitysystems, entry door locks and home oroffice lighting.
Additional assistance can be found onlineat www.homelink.com/Ford or by callingthe toll-free help line at 1-800-355-3515.
Garage Door Opener Limitations
Canadian radio-frequency laws requiretransmitter signals to time out, or quit,after several seconds – which may not belong enough for HomeLink to pick up thesignal. U.S. gate operators time-out in thesame manner.

WARNING: Do not fully close thehood, or allow it to drop under its ownweight when using the engine blockheater. This could damage the powercable and may cause an electrical shortresulting in fire, injury and propertydamage.
Note:The heater is most effective whenoutdoor temperatures are below 0°F(-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid bywarming the engine coolant. This allowsthe climate control system to respondquickly. The equipment includes a heaterelement, installed in the engine block anda wire harness. You can connect thesystem to a grounded 120-volt ACelectrical source.
We recommend that you do the followingfor a safe and correct operation:
•Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cordthat is product certified byUnderwriter’s Laboratory (UL) orCanadian Standards Association(CSA). This extension cord must besuitable for use outdoors, in coldtemperatures, and be clearly markedSuitable for Use with OutdoorAppliances. Do not use an indoorextension cord outdoors. This couldresult in an electric shock or become afire hazard.
•Use as short an extension cord aspossible.
•Do not use multiple extension cords.
•Make sure that when in operation, theextension cord plug and heater cordplug connections are free and clear ofwater. This could cause an electricshock or fire.
•If the block heater cord is under thehood, Do Not remove the wiring fromits original location. Do Not close thehood on the extension wiring.
•Make sure your vehicle is parked in aclean area, clear of combustibles.
•Make sure the heater, heater cord andextension cord are firmly connected.
•Check for heat anywhere in theelectrical hookup once the system hasbeen operating for approximately 30minutes.
•Make sure the system is unplugged andproperly stowed before starting anddriving your vehicle. Make sure theprotective cover seals the prongs of theblock heater cord plug when not in use.
•Make sure the heater system ischecked for proper operation beforewinter.
Using the Engine Block Heater
Make sure the receptacle terminals areclean and dry prior to use. Clean them witha dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hoursof energy per hour of use. The system doesnot have a thermostat. It achievesmaximum temperature afterapproximately three hours of operation.Using the heater longer than three hoursdoes not improve system performance andunnecessarily uses electricity.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
This system is a proactive system. It hasthe ability to anticipate wheel slip andtransfer torque to the rear wheels beforeslip occurs. Even when wheel slip is notpresent, the system is continuouslyadjusting to the torque distribution, in anattempt to improve straight line andcornering behavior, both on and off road.
The system automatically turns on everytime you switch the ignition on.
If any component requires maintenance,a message appears in the instrumentcluster display.
USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
An image appears in the instrument clusterto advise you of the power distributionbetween the front and rear wheels. Themore the area is filled, the more power isbeing distributed to that wheel.
Note:Four-wheel drive is also called 4WDand 4x4.
Note:Do not use the four-wheel drive lock,the rear differential lock or off-roadselectable drive modes on dry, hardsurfaced roads. Doing so can produceexcessive noise, increase tire wear and maydamage drive components. These featuresare only intended for consistently slipperyor loose surfaces. Operating your vehicleoutside of these conditions could subjectthe vehicle to excessive stress, which mayresult in damage not covered under yourwarranty. See G.O.A.T. Mode Control(page 241).
Note:When a system malfunction ispresent, a warning message appears in theinstrument cluster. See InformationMessages (page 109). This means thesystem is not properly functioning and hasdefaulted to front-wheel drive. Have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note:A message appears in the instrumentcluster if the system overheats and switchesto front-wheel drive. This condition couldoccur if you operate your vehicle in extremehigh load conditions or with excessive wheelslip, for example deep sand. To resumefour-wheel drive function as soon aspossible, stop your vehicle in a safe locationand switch the ignition off for a minimumof 10 minutes. After the system cools,normal four-wheel drive functionalityresumes.
Note:If a warning message appears in theinstrument cluster when using the spare tire,it turns off after reinstalling the repaired orreplaced road tire and you perform a keycycle.
Note:It is recommended that you reinstallthe repaired tire or replace the tire as soonas possible. Major dissimilar tire sizes couldcause system damage or default the systemto front-wheel drive.
