faster, because as in other vehicles, braking occurs at all four wheels. Do

not become overconfident as to road conditions.

Make sure you allow sufficient distance between you and other vehicles

for stopping. Drive slower than usual and consider using one of the lower

gears. In emergency stopping situations, avoid locking of the wheels. Use

a “squeeze” technique, push on the brake pedal with a steadily increasing

force which allows the wheels to brake yet continue to roll so that you

may steer in the direction you want to travel. If you lock the wheels,

release the brake pedal and repeat the squeeze technique. Apply the

brake steadily. Do not “pump” the brakes. Refer to the Brakes section of

this chapter for additional information on the operation of the anti-lock

brake system.

Never drive with chains on the front tires of 4WD vehicles without also

putting them on the rear tires. This could cause the rear to slide and

swing around during braking.

Maintenance and Modifications

The suspension and steering systems on your vehicle have been designed

and tested to provide predictable performance whether loaded or empty

and durable load carrying capability. For this reason, Ford Motor

Company strongly recommends that you do not make modifications such

as adding or removing parts (such as lift kits or stabilizer bars) or by

using replacement parts not equivalent to the original factory equipment.

Any modifications to a vehicle that raise the center of gravity can make

it more likely the vehicle will roll over as a result of a loss of control.

Ford Motor Company recommends that caution be used with any vehicle

equipped with a high load or device (such as ladder racks or pickup box

cover).

Failure to maintain your vehicle properly may void the warranty, increase

your repair cost, reduce vehicle performance and operational capabilities

and adversely affect driver and passenger safety. Frequent inspection of

vehicle chassis components is recommended if the vehicle is subjected to

heavy off-road usage.
