AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY
BRAKING
WHAT IS AUTOMATICEMERGENCY BRAKING
Automatic emergency braking mayactivate if the system determines that acollision is imminent. The system may helpreduce impact damage to avoid the crashcompletely.
Automatic emergency braking is onlyavailable up to certain speeds. SeePre-Collision Assist Limitations (page391).
SWITCHING AUTOMATICEMERGENCY BRAKING ON ANDOFF
To switch the system on or off, use thetouchscreen:
1.Press Features on the touchscreen.
2.Press Driver Assistance.
3.Press Pre-Collision Assist.
4.Press Auto Emergency Braking.
5.Switch the feature on or off.
EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST
WHAT IS EVASIVE STEERINGASSIST
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a roaduser, defined as another stationary vehiclein your lane or a vehicle traveling in yourlane in the same direction as yours, evasivesteering assist helps you steer around theroad user.
After you turn the steering wheel in anattempt to avoid a crash with the roaduser, the system applies additional steeringtorque to help you steer around the roaduser. After you pass the road user, thesystem applies steering torque when youturn the steering wheel to steer back intothe lane. The system deactivates after youfully pass the road user. SeePre-Collision Assist Precautions (page390).
EVASIVE STEERING ASSISTLIMITATIONS
Evasive steering assist only activates whenall the following occur:
•Active braking and evasive steeringassist are on.
•The system detects a road user aheadand starts to apply the brakes.
•You significantly turn the steeringwheel to steer around a road user.
Note:Evasive steering assist does notautomatically steer around a road user. Ifyou do not turn the steering wheel, evasivesteering assist does not activate.
Note:Evasive steering assist does notactivate if the distance to the road userahead is too small and the system cannotavoid a crash.
Note:Evasive steering assist does notactivate with cyclists or pedestrians.

HOW DOES TRAILER SWAY
CONTROL WORK
Trailer Sway Control
The system applies the brakes to theindividual wheels and reduces enginetorque to aid vehicle stability.
If the trailer begins to sway, the stabilitycontrol lamp flashes and the messageTrailer Sway Reduce Speed appears inthe information display.
Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe todo so. Check the vertical weight on thetow ball and trailer load distribution.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Turning off trailer swaycontrol increases the risk of loss ofvehicle control, serious injury or death.Ford does not recommend disabling thisfeature except in situations where speedreduction may be detrimental (such ashill climbing), the driver has significanttrailer towing experience, and can controltrailer sway and maintain safe operation.
Note:This feature only activates whensignificant trailer sway occurs.
Note:This feature does not prevent trailersway, but reduces it once it begins.
Note:This feature cannot stop all trailersfrom swaying.
Note:In some cases, if vehicle speed is toohigh, the system may activate multipletimes, gradually reducing vehicle speed.
SWITCHING TRAILER SWAY
CONTROL ON AND OFF
1.Press Features on the touchscreen.
2.Press Towing.
3.Switch Trailer Sway Control on or off.
The system turns on each time you startyour vehicle.

•When installing wheels, always torquelug nuts to specification with a torquewrench.
•Inspect your wheels for damage on aregular basis. If you have a damagedwheel, replace it immediately.
•If you encounter an abnormally harshimpact, inspect the outside tire wall ofyour wheels, both inside and out, fordamage.
Note:Ford Performance only recommendsusing bead-lock rings from FordPerformance Parts, in conjunction with theoriginal equipment manufacturer (OEM)tire. Any other combination using this wheelcould result in air loss or tire failure.
Note:Converting the bead-lock compatiblewheel to true bead-locks is for off-road useonly. We do not approve of the use of truebead-locks for on-road driving.
If your vehicles equipped with the optionalbead lock compatible wheel, you canconvert this wheel to use a true bead-lockring, which allows operation at low tirepressures when off-road to minimize therisk of de-beading the tire. See your localFord Performance Parts Dealer for moreinformation.
Tire Care
WARNING: Always re-inflate tiresto recommended tire pressures beforethe vehicle is operated on-road. Therecommended pressure is located on thetire label or safety certification label,located on the B-pillar, inside the driver'sdoor.
WARNING: After off-road use,before returning to the road, check thewheels and tires for damage. Off-roaduse may cause damage to your wheelsand tires that can lead to tire failure, lossof vehicle control, serious injury or death.
WARNING: Replace the wheelsand tires with the exact original brand,size and construction that cameoriginally on your vehicle. Use of anyother wheel or tire combinations, evenwith identical size ratings, may result ininsufficient running clearances, tirerubbing and eventual puncture. Failureto follow tire replacementrecommendations can lead to tire failure,loss of vehicle control, serious injury ordeath.
Note:If you have reduced your tire pressurefor off-road use, the tire pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS) warning light then activatesin the instrument panel as a reminder tore-inflate the tires before returning to theroad.
Your vehicle comes with high performance,all-terrain tires designed to optimizehandling, steering and braking to providethe performance you expect in a FordPerformance vehicle. These tires areoptimized for both on and off-roadperformance, and their ride, noise and wearcharacteristics are different from othertires. Also, because of their aggressivetread profile, it is important that youmaintain your tires properly.

3.Install the tool bag through the vehiclejack load rest.
4.Restow the extension block and wingbolt to the jack bracket.
5.Secure the jack tool bag straps aroundthe vehicle jack.
6.Place the jack and tool bag back ontothe jack bracket.
7.Turn the wing bolt on the jack bracketclockwise until you secure the jack andtools to the jack bracket.
WHEEL NUTS
WARNING: When you install awheel, always remove any corrosion, dirtor foreign materials present on themounting surfaces of the wheel or thesurface of the wheel hub, brake drum orbrake disc that contacts the wheel. Makesure to secure any fasteners that attachthe rotor to the hub so they do notinterfere with the mounting surfaces ofthe wheel. Installing wheels withoutcorrect metal-to-metal contact at thewheel mounting surfaces can cause thewheel nuts to loosen and the wheel tocome off while your vehicle is in motion,resulting in loss of vehicle control,personal injury or death.
