- Page 19 Driving The front camera system is located on the front grille. If the front grille of the vehicle is hit or damaged, check with your authorized dealer to have your front off-road video system checked for proper coverage and operation. Using the Front Off-Road Camera System Note: At night time or in dark areas, the camera system relies on the front headlamps lighting to produce an image.

Tread Lightly is an educational program designed to increase public awareness of land-use regulations and responsibilities in our nation’s wilderness areas. Ford joins the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management in encouraging you to help preserve our national forest and other public and private lands by treading lightly. - Page 22 Driving Before taking your F-150 SVT Raptor off-roading, a basic vehicle inspection should be done to ensure that the vehicle is in top working condition. It is always recommended that at least two vehicles are used while off-roading. The buddy system helps ensure that help is close at hand should a vehicle become stuck or damaged.
- Page 23 • Please consult your local off-road group for other helpful tips. • Off-roading requires a high degree of concentration. Even if your local law does not prohibit alcohol use while driving off-road, Ford strongly recommends against drinking if you plan to off-road.
- Page 24 Driving DRIVING IN SAND WARNING: Tires must be returned to normal recommended tire pressures before driving on pavement or hard surfaces. Failure to properly maintain your tire pressure could increase the risk of tire failure, loss of control, vehicle rollover and personal injury. Soft sand and dunes present a very unique driving challenge.
- Page 25 Driving CROSSING OBSTACLES • Review the path ahead before attempting to cross any obstacle. It is best if the obstacle is reviewed from outside the vehicle so that there is a good understanding of terrain condition both in, front of, and behind the obstacle.
- Page 26 (“prerun”) to become aware of any obstacles that you will encounter. Ford SVT has engineered your F-150 Raptor for off-road use beyond what is normal for a F-150. However, it can incur damage if driven beyond its capabilities. Skid plates, shock guards and running boards...
- Page 27 Driving exterior finishes as well as bent, cracked or broken body, frame and chassis components may not be covered by warranty. It is important that you take the time to become familiar with the controls and dynamics of your vehicle before attempting higher speed off-roading.
- Page 28 Driving • If driving in desert conditions, it is advised that you always drive with your headlights on to help other drivers more easily see you. • While driving in desert conditions, the midpoint of the day is the most difficult time to see many of the small ridges and dips due to flat shadows from the sun being at its highest point.
