Driving OFF-ROAD MODE Off road mode changes the calibrations of four systems on the vehicle to enhance off road performance: • Electronic locking differential (ELD)- Any speed thresholds for the ELD are lifted. The ELD will remain locked up to the maximum vehicle speed when engaged. • AdvanceTrac௡- When off-road mode is engaged, the AdvanceTrac௡ settings are altered for optimized off-road performance. • Transmission shifting and response- The transmission shift schedule is altered for improved off road performance. Upshifts are delayed and occur less frequently. This will provide the best possible vehicle response and acceleration. • Engine throttle calibration- The engine throttle calibration is altered for improved off-road performance. 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. Note: Tow/haul mode will be disabled when off-road mode is active. If tow/haul mode is active, it will be disabled when off-road mode is active. Enabling Off-Road Mode WARNING: Off-road mode is specifically calibrated for off-road driving conditions and should never be used on pavement. To enter off-road mode the following conditions must be met: • The vehicle must be traveling less than 5 mph (8 km/h) • Your foot must be off of the accelerator pedal Note: If any of the conditions are not met, the information display screen will display the appropriate messages to guide the driver through the proper operating procedures. 10 2013 F-150 (f12) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)
