HOW DOES AUTO HOLD WORK
Auto Hold applies the brakes to hold your
vehicle after you stop it and release the
brake pedal. This can help when waiting
on a hill or in traffic.
SWITCHING AUTO HOLD ON
AND OFF
WARNING: The system does not
replace the parking brake. When you
leave your vehicle, always apply the
parking brake. WARNING:
You must remain in
your vehicle when the system turns on.
At all times, you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising the
system and intervening, if required.
Failure to take care may result in the loss
of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
You can switch the system on or off by
accessing the menu on the touchscreen.
1. Press
Settings on the touchscreen.
2. Press
Driver Assistance.
Note: You can only switch the system on
after you close the driver door and fasten
your seatbelt.
Note: The system remembers the last
setting when you start your vehicle.
Note: When using an automatic car wash,
make sure to switch auto hold off, or shift
to neutral (N) with the brake pedal applied
to ensure auto hold is not active. USING AUTO HOLD
1. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop.
The auto hold active indicator
illuminates in the information display.
2. Release the brake pedal. The system holds your vehicle at a standstill. The
auto hold active indicator remains
illuminated in the information display.
3. Pull away in the normal manner. The system releases the brakes and the
auto hold active indicator switches off.
Note: The system only activates if you
apply enough brake pressure on the brake
pedal to bring the vehicle to a standstill.
Note: Under certain conditions, the system
could apply the electric parking brake. The
brake system warning lamp illuminates. The
electric parking brake releases when you
press the accelerator pedal. See
Automatically Releasing the Electric
Parking Brake
(page 289).
Note: Auto hold cancels if you shift into
reverse (R), or neutral (N), and press the
brake pedal.
There could be actions that can cause the
auto hold system not to work when the
following occur:
• When you use active park assist.
• The driver door is open.
• You have not fastened your seatbelt.
• You shift into reverse (R), or neutral
(N) before the system is active.

WHAT IS TRACTION CONTROL
The traction control system helps to avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
HOW DOES TRACTION
CONTROL WORK
If your wheels begin to spin, the loss of
traction can compromise steering control
and stability of the vehicle. The traction
control system applies the brakes to
individual wheels and when needed,
reduces engine power at the same time to
increase traction.
SWITCHING TRACTION
CONTROL ON AND OFF
WARNING: Operating your vehicle
with the traction control disabled could
lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death. The traction control system turns on each
time you switch the ignition on.
The button for the stability and traction
control system is on the instrument panel. Press and release the button to switch
traction control off. The stability control
system remains fully active, to switch it off,
press and hold the button for a few
seconds, then release.
When you switch traction control off, a
message and an illuminated icon appear
on the instrument cluster.
Press the switch again to turn the traction
control system back on to normal
operation.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
switching traction control off may be
beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Your vehicle may have MyKey restrictions
regarding this feature. See
What Is
MyKey (page 96).

HOW DOES STABILITY
CONTROL WORK
WARNING: Vehicle modifications
involving braking system, aftermarket
roof racks, suspension, steering system,
tire construction and wheel and tire size
may change the handling characteristics
of your vehicle and may adversely affect
the performance of the electronic
stability control system. In addition,
installing any stereo speakers may
interfere with and adversely affect the
electronic stability control system.
Reducing the effectiveness of the
electronic stability control system could
lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death. WARNING:
Remember that even
advanced technology cannot defy the
laws of physics. It's always possible to
lose control of a vehicle due to
inappropriate driver input for the
conditions. Aggressive driving on any
road condition can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk
of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the electronic stability
control system is an indication that at
least some of the tires have exceeded
their ability to grip the road; this could
reduce the operator's ability to control
the vehicle potentially resulting in a loss
of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.
If a driving condition activates either the
stability control or traction control you may
experience the following conditions:
• The stability and traction control light
flashes.
• Your vehicle slows down.
• Reduced engine power.
The stability control system has several
features built into it to help you maintain
control of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic stability control enhances your
vehicle ’s ability to prevent skids or lateral
slides by applying brakes to one or more
of the wheels individually and, if necessary,
reducing engine power.
Roll Stability Control
Roll stability control enhances your
vehicle ’s ability to prevent rollovers by
detecting your vehicle ’s roll motion and
the rate at which it changes by applying
the brakes to one or more wheels
individually.
Curve Control
Curve control enhances your vehicle ’s
ability to follow the road when cornering
severely or avoiding objects in the roadway.
Curve control operates by reducing engine
power and, if necessary, applying brakes
to one or more of the wheels individually.
300
2022 F-150 (TFD) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202109, First-Printing Stability Control

Side Wind Stabilization
Side wind stabilization is an advanced
feature that works by carefully applying
the brakes on one side of the vehicle to
reduce the effect of a side wind gust on
the vehicle's path.
Torque Vectoring by Brakes
Torque vectoring control applies brake
torque on the inner driven wheel in a curve
for better traction to avoid an understeer,
or oversteer situation. Unlike electronic
stability control, enhanced torque
vectoring control does not slow the
vehicle. It helps control excessive wheel
slip and gives the vehicle improved
cornering agility.
Traction Control
Traction control enhances your vehicle
’s
ability to maintain traction of the wheels
by detecting and controlling wheel spin.

SWITCHING STABILITY
CONTROL ON AND OFF
Stability Control turns on each time you
switch the ignition on.
You can switch the stability control off by
pressing and holding the stability and
traction control button off for 5-15
seconds, or you can press the button again
to switch the system on.
Shifting the transmission into reverse (R)
will disable the system.
You can switch the traction control system
off or on independently. See Switching
Traction Control On and Off (page 298).
