TRACTION-LOK REAR AXLE (IF
EQUIPPED)
This axle provides added drive
away traction on slippery surfaces,
particularly when one or more
wheels are on a surface with poor
traction.
Extended use of other than
matching size tires on a
Traction-Lok rear axle could result
in a permanent reduction in
effectiveness. This loss of
effectiveness does not effect
normal driving and should not be
noticeable to the driver.
To avoid injury, never run
the engine with one wheel
off the ground, such as when
changing a tire.
BATTERY
If the original equipment
maintenance-free battery needs
replacing, it may be replaced with
a low-maintenance battery. For
information on replacement
batteries, refer to
Motorcraft part
numbers
in the
Capacities and
specifications
chapter.
The gases around the
battery can explode if
exposed to flames, sparks, or lit
cigarettes. An explosion could
result in injury or vehicle
damage.
