During Trailer Sway Control events, the icon in the instrument

cluster will flash momentarily. The message center will also display:

TRAILER SWAY REDUCE SPEED . In some cases when trailer sway is

detected, the vehicle speed is too high and may be at or above a speed

at which trailer sway will grow continuously. This may cause the system

to activate multiple times, and you may experience a slight deceleration

of the vehicle

Disabling Trailer Sway Control

Trailer sway control can be disabled during any key cycle. See Trailer

Sway Control under Refer to Message center in the Driver Controls

chapter for more information. Note that even if it was disabled before

turning off the vehicle, Trailer Sway Control will be re-enabled at each

new key cycle.

WARNING: Turning off Trailer Sway Control increases the risk

of loss of vehicle control, serious injury, or death. Ford does not

recommend disabling this feature except in situations where speed

reduction may be detrimental (e.g., hill climbing), the driver has

significant trailer towing experience, and can control trailer sway and

maintain safe operation.

STEERING

To help prevent damage to the power steering system:

• Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it

stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running

• Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level

(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).

• Some noise is normal during operation. If the noise is excessive, check

for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by your

authorized dealer.

• Heavy or uneven steering efforts may be caused by low power steering

pump fluid level. Check for low power steering pump fluid level before

seeking service by your authorized dealer.

• Do not fill the power steering pump reservoir above the MAX mark on

the reservoir, as this may result in leaks from the reservoir.

If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned

off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort. If the

steering wanders or pulls, check for:

• an improperly inflated tire

• uneven tire wear

• loose or worn suspension components
