check engine light FORD EXPEDITION 2016 3.G Quick Reference Guide

12| CONTROLS * (CONTINUED )
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.
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 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.
To test the adjusted GAIN setting:
• 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.
• If the trailer wheels lock up (the tires will squeal), reduce
the GAIN setting. If the trailer wheels turn freely, increase
the GAIN setting.
• 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 (4W D )*
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.

EASY FUEL® SYSTEM
When fueling your vehicle
1. Put your vehicle in park (P) and switch the ignition off.
2. Open the fuel filler door.
3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into the fuel system,
and leave the nozzle fully inserted until you are done pumping.
4. Wait at least 10 seconds before removing the fuel pump
nozzle to allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank.
When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from a fuel container,
use the plastic funnel located in the spare wheel storage tray.
Clean the funnel or properly dispose of it.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with
the Easy Fuel system and may cause damage. You can purchase
extra funnels from an authorized dealer if you choose to dispose
of the funnel.
FUEL TYPE AND FUEL TANK CAPACITY
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank has a capacity of
either 28 gallons (106L) or 33.5 gallons (126.8L).
Use only UNLEADED gasoline blended with a maximum of
15% ethanol and a minimum of an 87 octane rating. Do not use
E85 (ethanol), diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other
fuel because it could damage or impair the emission
control system.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that displays a low tire pressure warning light
when one or more of your tires are significantly under-inflated.
If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as possible.
Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of
your Owner’s Manual for more information.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
The temporary spare tire is located under the vehicle, just
forward of the rear bumper. The temporary spare is for
emergency use only and you should replace it as soon as
possible. The jack and tools are under the access panel in the
floor behind the rear seat. Make sure to switch off the power
running boards* prior to jacking, hoisting or towing your vehicle.
Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
