Driving 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. See Message center in your Owner's Guide for 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 to Electronic locking differential in the Driving chapter of your Owner's Guide for 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. 9 2011 F-150 (f12) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)
