•
Make sure that the weight of your load
is evenly distributed, from front to back,
side to side and you secure it properly
at all times.
•
Exercise extreme caution at all times
while driving and avoid sharp turns,
sudden steering inputs or abrupt lane
changes at high speeds, particularly if:

off-set center of gravity when
loaded.

with any other trailer brake system.

Non-tractor trucks (straight or kick-up
frame) with air brake electronic stability
control, should not be used for towing any

Stability Control
Chassis Modifications
Stability control is specifically calibrated
and validated only for your vehicle's
original configuration. If you alter your
vehicle's chassis components, for example,
a wheel base extension or reduction, tag
axle addition or removal, a major body
change such as conversion of a tractor into
a truck. Ford Motor Company is not
responsible for the performance of the
stability control system if you modify any
major components such as axle,
suspension or steering system.
