WARNING: Trailer sway control does not prevent a trailer from

swaying, it mitigates the sway from increasing once it has

occurred. If you are experiencing trailer sway it is likely that the trailer

is improperly loaded for the correct tongue weight or the speed of the

vehicle and trailer is too high. Pull the vehicle-trailer over to a safe

location to check the trailer weight distribution and tongue load and

reduce speed to a safe level while towing. If trailer sway is

experienced, SLOW DOWN.

During Trailer Sway Control events the ⬙skidding car⬙

icon in the

instrument cluster will flash momentarily. The cluster 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

above a speed at which trailer sway will not grow continuously. This may

cause the system to activate multiple times, causing a gradual reduction

in speed.

Note: The trailer sway control will only activate at speeds greater than

40 mph (64 km/h).

Disabling Trailer Sway Control

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

Sway Control under the Message center in the Driver Controls chapter.

Note that regardless of chosen enable state, 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 fluid level

(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).

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

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

authorized dealer.
