Traction Control - Ford 2013 F-650 Owner's Manual

164
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss of
traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system applies the rear brakes to
individual wheels and, when needed, reduces engine power at the same
time. If the wheels spin when accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order to increase traction.
Note: The system does not apply the brakes when vehicle speed is
above 25 mph (40 km/h).
USING TRACTION CONTROL
WARNING: Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause
you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe
personal injury or property damage. The occurrence of a traction
control event is an indication that at least some of the tires have
exceeded their ability to grip the road; this may lead to an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and
death. If you experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN.

Traction Control

Press the switch to select Off Road
or Mud/Snow traction mode. This is
beneficial when the vehicle is stuck
in snow or on a slippery road
surface. This mode allows excess
wheel spin to dig the vehicle out
and allows you to rock the vehicle.
