2009 EXPLORER
INSTRUMENT PANEL
The 2009 Ford Explorer
was engineered with your lifestyle in mind – tough enough to take on what the
road ahead gives you, yet sophisticated enough to make the trip enjoyable. Please
take a few moments to familiarize yourself with your new Ford Explorer by reading
this Quick Reference Guide, which discusses features, specifications and general
information. For more detailed information including important safety information,
please consult your Owner's Guide.
Use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take your attention
off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Only use
non-essential features and devices when it is safe to do so.
