If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement

• If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement, slow down, but

avoid severe brake application, ease the vehicle back onto the

pavement only after reducing your speed. Do not turn the steering

wheel too sharply while returning to the road surface.

• It may be safer to stay on the apron or shoulder of the road and slow

down gradually before returning to the pavement. You may lose

control if you do not slow down or if you turn the steering wheel too

sharply or abruptly.

• It often may be less risky to strike small objects, such as highway

reflectors, with minor damage to your vehicle rather than attempt a

sudden return to the pavement which could cause the vehicle to slide

sideways out of control or roll over. Remember, your safety and the

safety of others should be your primary concern.

Vehicles with a higher center of gravity such as utility and

four-wheel drive vehicles handle differently than vehicles with a

lower center of gravity. Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are not

designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more

than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under

off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed and abrupt

maneuvers in these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously could result in

an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal

injury and death.

VEHICLE USED AS A STATIONARY POWER SOURCE

Auxiliary equipment called power take-off, or PTO, is often added to the

engine or transmission to operate utility equipment. Examples include

wheel-lift for tow trucks, tools for construction, and cranes. PTO

applications draw auxiliary horsepower from the powertrain, often while

the vehicle is stationary. In this condition there is limited cooling air flow

through the radiator and around the vehicle that normally occurs when a

vehicle is moving. Depending on the level and duration of auxiliary

horsepower draw, vehicle and surrounding environmental conditions, and

other factors, this can contribute to elevated transmission fluid

temperatures and resultant accelerated fluid deterioration, fuel vapor

over-pressurization, and other concerns. Ford trucks are fully qualified

for stationary PTO operation for 10 minutes or less of continuous

operation. For extended duration stationary PTO operation (beyond 10

minutes) diesel engine is recommended, and further consult your

aftermarket PTO installer.
