SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991 to “Polish
the Ford Oval” by creating low-volume, factory-produced vehicles
designed for those select few whose idea of driving is a high-powered,
passionate experience — not just a means of getting from point A to
point B.
In a move to support this spirited enthusiasm, Ford Motor Company
carefully integrated the wide array of talent in the company into a small,
cross-functional group of engineers and product planners, housed
together under one roof with a common mission: to create vehicles
specifically designed to meet the unique needs and desires of the
knowledgeable driving enthusiast.

Each of nearly 150,000 SVT vehicles produced since the 1993 model year
has been designed and developed with the four SVT Hallmarks in mind:
Performance, Substance, Exclusivity and Value. These hallmarks have
driven the SVT Mustang Cobra and the Cobra R, the SVT F-150
Lightning, the SVT Contour, the SVT Focus, Ford GT, Shelby GT500,
GT500KR and the F-150 SVT Raptor.
We are proud and passionate about what we do, and we’re glad you have
made us your choice.

OFF-ROAD MODE
Off-road mode allows you to change the operating characteristics of the
following features to allow for better off-road performance:
•Transmission shifting and response
•Electronic locking differential
•AdvanceTrac(ABS, RSC, Traction Control)
Enabling off-road mode
With the vehicle traveling less than
5 mph (8 km/h) and your foot off of
the accelerator pedal, press this
button to turn on off-road mode. A
chime will sound and a message will
display indicating that off-road mode
is active. If any of the conditions are
not met, the message center will
display the appropriate messages to guide the driver through the proper
operating procedures. SeeMessage centerin yourOwner’s Guidefor
more information.
Press the button again to turn it off.
WARNING:Off-road mode is specifically calibrated for off-road
driving conditions and should never be used on pavement.
With this mode enabled, the operating characteristics of the following
features will be altered:
•Transmission shifting and response–Transmission upshifts are
delayed and occur less frequently. This ensures the best possible
vehicle response and acceleration if the driver needs to briefly lift off
of the throttle to negotiate an obstacle or corner.
•Electronic locking differential (ELD)–If engaged, the ELD will
remain locked until the operator manually disengages it with the
control knob, or disengages off-road mode and exceeds the standard
ELD speed thresholds. Refer toElectronic locking differentialin the
Drivingchapter of yourOwner’s Guidefor more information.
•AdvanceTrac–When off-road mode is engaged, the AdvanceTrac
settings are altered for optimized off-road performance.
•Tow/haul mode –If tow/haul mode is active, it will be disabled. Also,
you cannot select tow/haul mode when off-road mode is on. As the
SVT Raptor is primarily a performance vehicle, off-road mode takes
priority over tow/haul mode.

AdvanceTracmodes
The AdvanceTracsystem, when used with off-road mode, provides the
SVT Raptor with alternative AdvanceTraccalibrations which improve
off-road performance.
With off-road mode on, the following changes to AdvanceTracwill
occur:
•Pressing the stability control off button once–This places the
vehicle in the off-road sport mode with the ESC, TCS and ABS active.
TCS and ESC are altered to allow for more tire spin and vehicle slip. It
also puts the ABS in a unique off-road mode calibration. RSC is
disabled in this mode.
Note:Operating the vehicle in this mode does not guarantee that the
vehicle will not become stuck in sand, snow or mud, etc. It is the
driver’s responsibility to assess off-road situations and determine if the
terrain is passable.
•Pressing and holding the stability control off button–This places
the vehicle in the off-road sport mode with the ESC, RSC, and TCS
disabled. A unique off-road ABS calibration is also engaged. Note that
when the transfer case is in the 2H position and the electronic locking
differential is engaged, an alternative TCS calibration is enabled
between 0 and 13 mph (0 and 20 km/h).
