SelectShiftâ„¢ Automatic
Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShift
Automatic transmission. The SelectShift
Automatic transmission gives you the
ability to change gears up or down without
a clutch as desired.
In order to prevent the engine from running
at too low of an RPM, which may cause it
to stall, SelectShift still automatically
makes some downshifts if it has
determined that you have not downshifted
in time. Although SelectShift makes some
downshifts for you, it still allows you to
downshift at any time as long as the
SelectShift determines that damage to
the engine does not occur from
over-revving.
Note: Engine damage may occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting. The SelectShift Automatic transmission
feature has two modes: Progressive Range
Selection (PRS) and M mode.
Progressive Range Selection - PRS
Progressive Range Selection gives you the
ability to lockout gears from the automatic
shifting range. This may provide you with
an improved driving experience, for
example, in slippery conditions or when
experiencing a steep slope.
With the transmission selector in drive (D),
push the – button to active PRS. The
available and selected gears are indicated
on the instrument cluster.
All available gears display with the current
gear indicated. Push the – button again to
lock out gears beginning with the highest
gear. Example: push the – button twice to
lock out 10th and 9th gears. Only the
available gears are displayed and the
203

transmission automatically shifts between
the available gears. Push the + button to
unlock gears and allow the transmission
to shift to higher gears. The transmission
shifts automatically within the gear range
you select.
Manual (M)
Pushing the manual (M) button on the
selector allows you to manually select the
gear you desire. Only the current gear is
displayed. Use the buttons on the
transmission selector to manually select
gears. Push the + button to upshift or the
– button to downshift. Once in Manual
mode, press (M) again to deactivate
manual control.
SelectShift does not automatically upshift,
even if the engine is approaching the RPM
limit. It must be shifted manually by
pushing the + button.
Brake-Shift Interlock
WARNING: When doing this
procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully apply the parking brake prior
to doing this procedure. Use wheels
chocks if appropriate. WARNING:
If the parking brake is
fully released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes
may not be working properly. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note: Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are working.
Note: See your authorized dealer as soon
as possible if this procedure is used.
Note: For some markets this feature is
disabled. Your vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift
interlock feature that prevents moving the
transmission from park (P) when the
ignition is in the on position and the brake
pedal is not pressed.
If you cannot move the selector out of park
(P) with the ignition in the on position and
the brake pedal pressed, a malfunction
may have occurred. It is possible that a
fuse has blown or your vehicle
’s brake
lamps are not operating properly. See Fuse
Specification Chart
(page 320).
If the fuse is not blown and the brake
lamps are working properly, the following
procedure allows you to move the gearshift
lever from park (P):
1. Apply the parking brake and start the engine before performing this
procedure.
2. Locate your brake-shift interlock access slot. The slot is located in your
center console storage bin. The access
slot does not have a label. 204

USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
Note:
For important information regarding
safe operation of this type of vehicle, see
General Information in the Wheels and Tires
chapter.
Note: Do not use 4H or 4L mode on dry,
hard surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and may
damage drive components. 4H and 4L mode
is only intended for consistently slippery or
loose surfaces. Use of 4L mode on these
surfaces may produce some noise, such as
occasional clunks, but does not damage
drive components.
Note: If 4L mode is selected when your
vehicle is moving above 3 mph (5 km/h),
the 4WD system does not perform a shift.
This is normal and should be no reason for
concern. Refer to Shifting to or from 4L for
proper operation.
4X4 Indicator Lights
4X2 Momentarily illuminates when
2H is selected.
4X4 AUTO Continuously illuminates when
4A is selected.
4X4 HIGH Continuously illuminates when
4H is selected.
4X4 LOW Continuously illuminates when
4L is selected. CHECK 4X4 Displays when a 4X4 system
fault is present.
Note: When a 4X4 system fault is present,
the system typically remains in whichever
4WD mode was selected prior to the fault
condition occurring. It does not default to
4X2 in all circumstances. When this warning
is displayed, have your vehicle serviced by
an authorized dealer.
4WD Switch Selections WARNING: Vehicles with a higher
center of gravity (utility and four-wheel
drive vehicles) handle differently than
vehicles with a lower center of gravity
(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,
excessive speed and abrupt steering in
these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously
increases the risk of losing control of your
vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with
AdvanceTrac® with RSC®, the system
automatically turns off the stability
enhancement feature when you shift the
4WD system into 4L - 4X4 LOW. You can
manually turn the system off by pressing
the AdvanceTrac button. See
Using
Traction Control (page 219). This turns off
the engine management feature, allowing
the vehicle to maintain full power and
enhanced momentum through the obstacle.
The brake traction enhancement feature is
still turned on.
Note: The AdvanceTrac system has the
ability to take over control of the transfer
case clutch and disable it during driving
maneuvers when necessary.
Note: 4WD mode availability is based on
Drive Mode selection.
See Drive Control
(page 266).

Your 4X4 control is located in one of the
following locations:
• On the instrument panel.
• On the
DRIVE MODE selection switch.
2H - 4X2
Delivers power to the rear wheels only. The
information display momentarily shows
2H when this mode is selected. This mode
is appropriate for normal on-road driving
on dry pavement and provides the best
fuel economy.
Note: 2H may turn on or off automatically
based on Drive Mode selection. See
Drive
Control (page 266).
4A - 4X4 AUTO
Provides electronic controlled four-wheel
drive with power delivered to the front and
rear wheels, as required, for increased
traction. When you select this mode, the
information display shows 4A. The system
continuously monitors road conditions,
driver input as well as other vehicle sensors
and optimizes the system's behavior based
on drive mode selection.
Note: On vehicles with a rotary drive mode
switch, 4A should remain on in Mud/Rut and
Sand but with aggressive tuning which
provides electronically locked four-wheel
drive power to front and rear wheels, the
same as traditional 4H.
Note: 4A may turn on or off automatically
based on Drive Mode selection. See
Drive
Control (page 266). 4H - 4X4 HIGH
Provides electronically locked four-wheel
drive power to front and rear wheels. When
you select this mode, the information
display shows 4H. This mode is not
recommended for use on dry pavement.
This mode is only intended for severe
winter or off-road conditions, such as deep
snow, ice or shallow sand.
Note:
4H may turn on or off automatically
based on Drive Mode selection. In
configurations with a rotary Drive Mode
switch, 4H functionality is within the
Mud/Ruts and Sand Drive Modes even when
the indicator lamp shows 4A. See
Drive
Control (page 266).
4L - 4X4 LOW
Provides electronically locked four-wheel
drive power to both the front and rear
wheels with additional gearing for
increased torque multiplication. Intended
only for off-road applications such as deep
sand, steep grades, or pulling heavy
objects. 4L - 4X4 low does not engage
when your vehicle is moving above
3 mph
(5 km/h); this is normal and should be no
reason for concern. Refer to Shifting to or
from 4L - 4X4 low for proper operation.
Note: 4L may turn off automatically based
on Drive Mode selection. See
Drive Control
(page 266).
Shifting Between 4WD System Modes
Note: Momentarily releasing the accelerator
pedal when a shift in progress message
displays improves engagement and
disengagement performance.
Note: Do not perform this operation if the
rear wheels are slipping.
Note: Some noise may be heard as the
system shifts or engages; this is normal.
207
Expedition (TB8) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201808, Second-Printing Four-Wheel Drive
(If Equipped)

You can change between 2H to 4A or 4H
at a stop or when driving. The information
display may show a message indicating a
4X4 shift is in progress and the LED light
for the selected mode flashes. Once the
shift is complete the information display
shows the system mode selected and the
LED light for the selected mode turns solid.
Shifting To or From 4L - 4X4 LOW
Note:
4L mode is not intended for use on
dry pavement.
1. Bring the vehicle to a rolling speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
2. Place the gearshift in neutral (N).
3. Move the 4WD switch to the desired mode.
The information display shows a message
indicating a 4X4 shift is in progress. The
information display then shows the
selected system mode. If any of the
previous shift conditions are not present,
the shift does not occur and the
information display shows information
guiding you through the proper shifting
procedures. If the above conditions are not
satisfied in 30 seconds, the system reverts
back to the previous 4WD mode or drive
mode.
If Shift Delayed Pull Forward is displayed
in the information display, transfer case
gear tooth blockage is present. To alleviate
this condition, place the transmission in a
forward gear, move the vehicle forward
approximately
5 ft (2 m), and shift the
transmission back to neutral (N) to allow
the transfer case to complete the range
shift. Operating 4WD Vehicles With
Spare or Mismatched Tires
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of
the spare tire can affect the 4X4 system.
If there is a significant difference between
the size of the spare tire and the remaining
tires, you may have limited four-wheel
drive functionality.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, it is
recommended that you do not:
•
Exceed
50 mph (80 km/h) with a 4WD
mode turned on.
• Turn on a 4WD mode unless the
vehicle is stationary.
• Use a 4WD mode on dry pavement.
Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly may lead to impairment of the
following:
• Comfort and noise.
• Winter weather driving capability.
• Wet driving capability.
• Four-wheel drive capability.
How Your Vehicle Differs From
Other Vehicles WARNING: Vehicles with a higher
center of gravity (utility and four-wheel
drive vehicles) handle differently than
vehicles with a lower center of gravity
(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,
excessive speed and abrupt steering in
these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously
increases the risk of losing control of your
vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.
208
Expedition (TB8) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201808, Second-Printing Four-Wheel Drive
(If Equipped)

Truck and utility vehicles can differ from
some other vehicles. Your vehicle may be
higher to allow it to travel over rough
terrain without getting hung up or
damaging underbody components.
The differences that make your vehicle so
versatile also make it handle differently
than an ordinary passenger car.
Maintain steering wheel control at all
times, especially in rough terrain. Since
sudden changes in terrain can result in
abrupt steering wheel motion, make sure
you grip the steering wheel from the
outside. Do not grip the spokes.
Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage
from concealed objects such as rocks and
stumps.
You should either know the terrain or
examine maps of the area before driving.
Map out your route before driving in the
area. To maintain steering and braking
control of your vehicle, you must have all
four wheels on the ground and they must
be rolling, not sliding or spinning.
Driving Off-Road With Truck and
Utility Vehicles
Note:
On some models, the initial shift from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive when
your vehicle is moving can cause some
momentary clunk and ratcheting sounds.
This is the front drivetrain coming up to
speed and the automatic locking hubs
engaging and is not cause for concern.
Note: Your vehicle may have a front air dam
that can become damaged, due to reduced
ground clearance, when taking your vehicle
off-road. You may remove this air dam by
removing eight bolts.
Four-wheel drive vehicles are specially
equipped for driving on sand, snow, mud
and rough terrain and have operating
characteristics that are somewhat
different from conventional vehicles, both
on and off the road. The transfer case supples power to all four
wheels. On four-wheel drive vehicles, the
transfer case allows you to select different
4WD modes when necessary. You can find
information on transfer case operation and
shifting procedures in this chapter. You can
find information on transfer case
maintenance in the Maintenance chapter.
You should become thoroughly familiar
with this information before you operate
your vehicle.
Four-wheel drive, when you select a 4WD
mode, uses all four wheels to power your
vehicle. This increases traction, enabling
you to drive over terrain and road
conditions that a conventional two-wheel
drive vehicle cannot.
Basic Operating Principles
•
Drive slower in strong crosswinds which
can affect the normal steering
characteristics of your vehicle.
• When driving your vehicle on surfaces
made slippery by loose sand, water,
gravel, snow or ice proceed with care.
• Do not use 4H or 4L on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and
may damage drive components. 4H or
4L modes are only for consistently
slippery or loose surfaces.
If Your Vehicle leaves the Road
If your vehicle leaves the road, reduce your
vehicle speed and avoid severe braking.
When your vehicle speed decreases, ease
your vehicle back onto the road. Do not
turn the steering wheel sharply when
returning your vehicle to the road.
It may be safer to stay on the shoulder of
the road and slow down gradually before
returning to the road. You may lose control
if you do not slow down or if you turn the
steering wheel too sharply or abruptly.
