The Maximum power each power point can supply depends on the fuse rating. For example: a 20A fuse should supply a maximum of 240 Watts. Exceeding these limits will result in a blown fuse. Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.

The power down back window has three window position selections: • Fully open • Vent • Fully closed Turn control counter-clockwise and release to lower window all the way to the full open position.

All rear seat occupants and/or cargo must be properly restrained and clear of the back window opening before operating the

power down rear window.

Turn control clockwise and release to raise the window all the way to the full closed position. Push control once to move window (up or down) to the vent position (opens approximately 2.00 inches for cab ventilation). If the window is already in the vent position and the control is pressed, no movement will occur.

Normal Operation If an “up” command is selected and the ignition is switched to OFF or START during window travel, the window will (or with accessory delay power enabled): • stop if it is between the vent position and fully closed or • continue to move up to the vent position if it is between vent and fully

open.

If a “down” or “vent” command is selected and the ignition is switched to OFF or START during window travel (or with accessory delay power enabled), the window will move to the fully open or vent position and then stop. The “down” command is the only one allowed after the ignition has been switched to OFF or START (or with accessory delay power enabled) while the window is moving.

Bounce-Back When the back window is moving upward and an obstacle interferes with the window’s movement, the back window will reverse direction and move toward the fully open position. This is known as “bounce-back”. Security Override If, during a bounce-back condition, the control is held in the clockwise (“up”) direction for at least two seconds, the back window will travel up with no bounce-back protection. If the control is released before the window reaches fully closed or the ignition is switched to OFF or START (or with accessory delay power enabled), the back window will reverse direction with bounce-back re-enabled. The following are possible reasons for using the security override: • Ice on the window causing a restriction. • Window unexpectedly reverses. Position recovery mode If the window fails to operate in “normal” operation mode, the control can be turned and held in the active position (up or down window direction) which will move the window in increments of approximately 15mm (0.6 inches) in the selected direction. (The “vent” feature is inoperable in this mode.) This feature allows the window to be closed. Once the window has reached the full closed position, the window should again operate in the “normal” operation mode. If the window still does not operate correctly, see your dealer for service.

AUTOMATIC DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR Your vehicle may be equipped with an inside rear view mirror with an auto-dimming feature. When the auto-dimming mirror is turned on, as indicated by an illuminated green LED to the left of the button on mirror, it will detect bright lights(glare) from behind the vehicle, and will change from the normal, high reflective state, to the darkened state to minimize glare. When the auto-dimming mirror is turned on, it will automatically return to the normal, high reflective, state whenever the vehicle is placed in R(reverse) to ensure a clear view while backing up. Do not block the sensor located to the right of the mirror button or the sensor located on the back side of the mirror as this may impair mirror performance.

On hot days, the temperature in the pickup box can rise very quickly. Exposure of people or animals to these high

temperatures for even a short time can cause death or serious heat-related injuries, including brain damage. Small children are particularly at risk.

LUGGAGE RACK Your vehicle is equipped with a roof rack without cross bars. The maximum recommended load is 44kg (100 lbs), evenly distributed. If it is not possible to distribute the load, position it as far rearward as possible. Use the tiedown loops to secure the load.

Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as

slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.

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 sport 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 increase risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

SECURILOCK姟 PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM SecuriLock娂 passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization system. This system is designed to prevent the engine from being started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition. Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be purchased from your dealer. The dealer can program your spare keys to your vehicle or you can program the keys yourself. Refer to Programming spare keys for instructions on how to program the coded key. Note: The SecuriLock娂 passive anti-theft system is not compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Note: Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a

If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock娂 system, the indicator will flash rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the 4 (ON) position. If this occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for service. Automatic arming The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the 3

flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your dealer.

Replacement keys If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to a dealership. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be programmed.

Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys.
