Four-Wheel Drive (If Equipped) 2H 223 The Control Trac® 4WD system functions in four modes: 4A • 2H (4X2) delivers power to the 4H rear wheels only. The message center will momentarily display 4L 4x2 when this mode is selected. This mode is appropriate for normal on-road driving on dry pavement and provides best fuel economy. • 4A (4X4 AUTO) provides electronic control four-wheel drive with power delivered to all four wheels, as required, for increased traction. The message center will display "4X4 AUTO" when this mode is selected. This mode is appropriate for all on-road driving conditions, such as dry road surfaces, wet pavement, snow or gravel. • 4H (4X4) provides electronically locked four-wheel drive power to front and rear wheels. The message center will display 4X4 when this mode is selected. This mode is not recommended for use on dry pavement. This mode is only intended for severe winter or off-road conditions, such as deep snow, ice or shallow sand. • 4L (4X4 LOW) provides electronically locked four-wheel drive when extra power at reduced speeds is required. The message center will display 4X4 LOW when this mode is selected. This mode is not recommended for use on dry pavement. Use this mode for off-road low-speed operation or when extra power is required, such as climbing steep grades, going through deep sand or pulling a boat out of the water. Shifting between system modes Note: Do not perform these operations if the rear wheels are slipping. Note: Some noise may be heard as the system shifts or engages. You can move the control from 2H, 4A or 4H at a stop or while driving. The information display may display a message indicating a 4X4 shift is in progress. Once the shift is complete the information display will then display the system mode selected. Shifting to/from 4L (4X4 LOW) 1. Bring the vehicle to a rolling speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less. 2. Place the gearshift in N (Neutral). 3. Move the 4WD control to the desired mode. 2013 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, April 2013 USA (fus)
