All-Wheel Drive; Using All-Wheel Drive - Ford EVEREST Owner's Manual

USING ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

The all-wheel drive system in your vehicle
is an intelligent system that continuously
monitors vehicle conditions and
automatically adjusts the power
distribution between the front and rear
wheels. It combines transparent
all-surface operation with highly capable
all-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive system
is always active and requires no driver
input, however the driver can optimize
more control by utilising the terrain
management switch and low range
selection switch, mounted in the centre
console, for the correct terrain conditions.
WARNING
Vehicles with a higher centre of
gravity such as all-wheel drive
vehicles handle differently than
vehicles with a lower centre of gravity.
All-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 manoeuvres in these vehicles.
Failure to drive cautiously could result in
an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
The intelligent AWD system continuously
monitors vehicle conditions and
automatically adjusts the power
distribution between the front and rear
wheels. It combines transparent
all-surface operation with highly capable

all-wheel drive.
