12 A. POWER LIFTGATE CONTROL* lets you open or
close your power liftgate from the driver seat. To use,
press the control.
B. HILL START ASSIST keeps your vehicle stationary
long enough to move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal when your vehicle is on a slope.
Press the control to switch this feature off. It turns back
on automatically after you re-start your vehicle.
C. ADVANCETRAC® WITH RSC® (ROLL STABILITY
CONTROL™) automatically activates when you start
your engine and helps you keep control of your vehicle
when on a slippery surface. The electronic stability
control portion of the system helps avoid skids and
lateral slides, while the roll stability control helps avoid a
vehicle rollover. The traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL * applies your vehicle
brakes at individual wheels and, if necessary, reduces
engine power. If the trailer begins to sway, the stability
control light flashes and the message TRAILER SWAY
REDUCE SPEED appears in the information display.
The first thing to do is slow down your vehicle, then
pull safely to the side of the road and check for proper
tongue load and trailer load distribution. For more
information, please refer to the Towing chapter in your
Owner’s Manual.
9 RIGHT VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY* provides
information about Entertainment, Phone, Climate and
Navigation*. Use the right-hand, 5-way controls located on

adjustments within a selected menu. For more information,
refer to the MyFord Touch chapter in your
Owner’s Manual.

13 INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE
CONTROLLER* assists in smooth and effective
trailer braking by powering the trailer’s electric or
electric over hydraulic brakes with a proportional
output based on the towing vehicle’s
brake pressure.
Use the GAIN adjustment buttons to increase or
decrease the braking feature’s power output to the
trailer. Adjust the GAIN by:

A. Pressing the GAIN + or GAIN – buttons
to increase or decrease the setting to the
desired starting point. A GAIN setting
of 6.0 is a good starting point for
heavier loads.

B. Testing the adjusted GAIN setting.
1. In a traffic-free environment, tow the
trailer on a dry, level surface at a speed of
20-25 mph (30-40 km/h) and squeeze the
manual control lever completely.
2. If the trailer wheels lock up (the tires will
squeal), reduce the GAIN setting. If the trailer
wheels turn freely, increase the
GAIN setting.
3. The proper GAIN setting will be at the point
just below trailer wheel lock-up. If towing a
heavier trailer, trailer wheel lockup may not
be attainable even with the maximum GAIN
setting of 10.
For more information, please refer to the Towing
chapter in your Owner’s Manual.

14 FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)*
operates in four modes for a variety of
road conditions:
2H (4X2) mode delivers power to the
rear wheels only, that is appropriate
for normal, on-road driving on dry
pavement and provides the best fuel
economy.
4A (4X4 AUTO) mode provides
electronic control four-wheel drive
with power delivered to all four
wheels, as required, for increased
traction. This mode is appropriate for
all on-road driving conditions, such as
dry road surfaces, wet pavement,
snow and gravel.
4H (4X4) mode provides electronically
locked four-wheel drive power to all
four wheels. This position is not
recommended for use on dry
pavement and is only intended for
severe winter or off-road conditions,
such as deep snow, ice or shallow sand.
4L (4X4) mode provides electronically
locked four-wheel drive when extra
power at reduced speeds is needed.
Use this mode for off-road, low-speed
operation, such as climbing steep
grades, pulling a boat out of the water
and more. Refer to the Four-Wheel Drive
(4WD) chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
