Illuminates briefly to ensure the
system is functional. If the light
comes on after the engine is
started, refer to your Owner’s Guide.
To help prevent activation, always secure
your fuel cap by turning it clockwise 1/8 of a
turn until it stops.
Please note that if the fuel cap is not properly
secured, the warning "Check Fuel Cap" will be
displayed on the optional message center. The
warning will be reset once the cap is properly
tightened and your vehicle is driven a short
distance. If your vehicle is not equipped with a
message center, the Service Engine Soon Lamp
will illuminate.
ABS Warning Lamp
Illuminates briefly when the ignition
is turned to the ON position. In an

Rear Window Defroster
Press to activate rear window defrost. The
rear defrost indicator will illuminate. When
in operation, the rear window defroster
also defrosts the side view mirrors. The rear
window defroster will automatically turn

Control-Trac Four-Wheel Drive Control
(if equipped)
2H (2WD HIGH) delivers power
to the rear wheels only, and
is the optimum position for
smoothness and fuel
economy. A4WD (4X4 AUTO)
automatically delivers power
to all four wheels, as required, for
increased traction. 4H (4X4 HIGH) provides
mechanically locked four-wheel drive power
to all four wheels. 4L (4X4 LOW) provides
mechanically locked four-wheel drive when
extra power at reduced speeds is required.
To shift from 2H to A4WD or 4H, move the
control at any forward speed up to 55 mph.
To shift from A4WD to 4H, move the control
at a stop or while driving at any speed. To
shift to or from 4L, bring the vehicle to a stop
and keep the brake pedal depressed. Next,
place the gearshift in N (Neutral), and then
move the control to 4L.
When shifting from one four-wheel drive
position to the next, a mechanical noise may
be heard. This is normal and no service
should be required.
Gearshift/Overdrive Control
Overdrive is the normal drive position for
the best fuel economy. Only deactivate
(OFF) overdrive when: driving
with a heavy load, towing a
trailer up or down steep
hills, or when additional
engine braking is desired.
To deactivate, press the
switch located on the
end of the gearshift lever.

System (if equipped)
This system provides a stability
and traction enhancement
feature by detecting and
controlling wheel spin. The
system defaults to on, however,
the system does not function when
the vehicle is traveling in R (Reverse), or if
equipped with four-wheel drive, in 4L. If
you should become stuck, try switching the
system off by pressing the button on the
center console.
Keyless Entry System
With this control you can lock or unlock
all doors without using a key. First, enter
your five-digit program code and then
press the corresponding quick key:
Unlock all doors = 3-4

simultaneously
Climate Controlled Seats (if equipped)
Push the left portion of the control to
heat the seat back and the seat cushion. A
red light will illuminate when the system
is engaged. Push again to disengage. Push
the right portion to cool the seat back
and the seat cushion. A blue light will
illuminate when the system is engaged.
Push again to disengage. When in the
heat or cool mode, rotate the
thumbwheel to select the desired level
from 0 (OFF) to 5 (MAX). If in the cool
mode and setting 1 is selected, the seat(s)
will provide vent cooling only (the same
temperature as cabin air).
Once the feature is activated, please
allow five minutes for the temperature
level to stabilize. Some initial blower noise
should be expected at the beginning of
the cool cycle.
The climate control seats turn off after
approximately 15 minutes in heat mode and
approximately 30 minutes in the cool mode
to minimize unintended drain on the
vehicle’s power supply.
The climate control seat system includes an
air filter that has to be replaced periodically.
For more information, please consult your
Owner’s Guide.
Message Center (if equipped)
The message center
displays important
vehicle information
through a constant monitor of vehicle systems
(with the ignition in the ON position). The
system will notify you of potential vehicle
problems with a display of system warnings
followed by a long indicator chime. You may
select display features on the message center
by pressing the Info or Setup buttons. The
Reset button may be used to reset select
functions in the Info and Setup menus.
For complete details on the message center
display features, please refer to your
Owner’s Guide.
Reverse Sensing System (if equipped)
This sonar and radar system sounds a tone to
warn the driver if an obstacle is detected
within approximately 20 feet behind the rear
bumper while the vehicle moves in reverse at
speeds less than 6 mph. RSS defaults to ON,
but can be disabled using the message center
functions when the ignition is ON, and the
gearshift is in R (Reverse).
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (if equipped)
Using radio-frequency pressure sensors, this
system monitors tire pressure on all tires
including the spare, and provides the driver
with a warning message when pressure is
severely low or high. If alerted, the system can
be reset using the message center functions.

In order to help you fully appreciate the countless features of
your new Expedition, we invite you to explore this easy-to-use
Quick Reference Guide. Using this Guide in conjunction with the
Interactive Owner Experience CD Rom, you can briefly hear how
to operate the features listed to the right once you place the CD
into any audio CD player. Find the numbered call-outs from the
photograph of the instrument panel located in the center of the
Quick Reference Guide, and then select the corresponding
numbered audio track on the CD. For more comprehensive
