Driving Hints • The tire air pressures recommended for general driving are on the vehicle's Safety Certification Label. The maximum cold inflation pressure for the tire and associated load rating are on the tire sidewall. Tire air pressure may require re-adjustment within these pressure limits to accommodate the additional weight of the snowplow installation. Federal and some local regulations require additional exterior lamps for snowplow-equipped vehicles. Contact an authorized dealer for additional information. Note: The electrical system is designed to support the addition of a residential snowplow (up to 60 Amps continuous) and snowplow lights (up to 20 Amps continuous) using snowplow mode. The system is not designed to support snowplow usage with additional electrical aftermarket accessories. • Operating the Vehicle with the Snowplow Attached Note: Drive the vehicle at least 500 miles (800 kilometers) before using your vehicle for snow removal. We recommend vehicle speed does not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) when snowplowing. The attached snowplow blade restricts airflow to the radiator, and may cause the engine to run at a higher temperature. Attention to engine temperature is especially important when outside temperatures are above freezing. Angle the blade to maximize airflow to the radiator and monitor engine temperature to determine whether a left or right angle provides the best performance. Follow the severe duty schedule in your Scheduled Maintenance information for engine oil and transmission fluid change intervals. Snowplow Mode (If Equipped) Press the snowplow button on the instrument panel to switch on snowplow mode. The button illuminates when in snowplow mode. A message appears in the information display indicating that features are turned off when in snowplow mode. The following features are disabled when in snowplow mode: • 110V inverter. • Fog lamps. • Heated steering wheel. • Heated front and rear seats. • Massaging seats. The body module also activates the snowplow relay that provides power to aftermarket snowplow controls. Switch off snowplow mode by pressing the snowplow button or switching off the ignition. The snowplow button is no longer illuminated and features are turned on. Snowplowing with your Airbag Equipped Vehicle WARNINGS Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) or its fuses. Contact a Ford or Lincoln dealer. 275 F-150 (), enUSA, First Printing
