Forced downshifts
• Allowed in
(Overdrive) or Drive.
• Depress the accelerator to the floor.
• Allows transmission to select an appropriate gear.
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, it may be rocked out by
shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a
steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating
temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.
Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the
transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.
VEHICLE USED AS A STATIONARY POWER SOURCE
Auxiliary equipment called power take-off, or PTO, is often added to the
engine or transmission to operate utility equipment. Examples include a
wheel-lift for tow trucks, tools for construction and cranes. PTO
applications draw auxiliary horsepower from the powertrain, often while
the vehicle is stationary. In this condition, there is limited cooling air
flow through the radiator and around the vehicle that normally occurs
when a vehicle is moving. Depending on the level and duration of
auxiliary horsepower draw, vehicle conditions and surrounding
environmental conditions and other factors, this can contribute to
elevated transmission fluid temperatures and result in accelerated fluid
deterioration, fuel vapor over-pressurization, and other concerns. Ford
trucks are fully qualified for stationary PTO operation for 10 minutes or
less of continuous operation.
Transmission Power Take-Off (PTO) Provision (if equipped)
Some vehicles with an automatic transmission may be equipped with a
“Transmission Power Take-Off Provision”. These vehicles have a special
transmission that includes a port on the left-hand side to mount an
aftermarket PTO, an internal PTO gear, and calibration for PTO usage.
The actual PTO and related equipment is not offered by Ford Motor
Company, but is installed by an aftermarket source. The PTO gear in the
transmission will drive the aftermarket PTO while driving the vehicle.
Therefore, some additional gear noise that may result is normal. Also, the
transmission upshift and downshift schedules will be reduced by about
15% and may result in a firmer shift feel during PTO mobile applications.
