Introduction
SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991 to polish
the Ford Oval by creating low-volume, factory-produced vehicles
designed for those select few whose idea of driving is a high-powered,
passionate experience — not just a means of getting from point A to
point B.
In a move to support this spirited enthusiasm, Ford Motor Company
carefully integrated the wide array of talent in the company into a small,
cross-functional group of engineers and product planners, housed
together under one roof with a common mission: to create vehicles
specifically designed to meet the unique needs and desires of the
knowledgeable driving enthusiast.
Each of nearly 150000 SVT vehicles produced since the 1993 model year
has been designed and developed with the four SVT Hallmarks in mind:
Performance, Substance, Exclusivity and Value. These hallmarks have
driven the SVT Mustang Cobra and the Cobra R, the SVT F-150
Lightning, the SVT Contour, the SVT Focus, Ford GT, Shelby GT500,
GT500KR and the F-150 SVT Raptor.
We are proud and passionate about what we do, and we’re glad you have
made us your choice.

F-150 SVT Raptor-specific features
• Instrument panel cluster graphics
• High line LCD cluster with unique SVT off-road screen
• Steering wheel - unique wrap with on-center marker, thumb pads, and
improved grip contour
• Door trim inserts and center stack trim
• Off-road style floor mats with SVT logo
Note: Your F-150 SVT Raptor is equipped with unique front and rear
high-performance Fox shock absorbers designed for severe off-road use.
Due to the hydraulic motion of the shock fluid in the unique internal
bypass system, some noise during on-road driving including boom, chirp,
or clunk noises can be expected over small, sharp bumps such as frost
heaves, potholes, or expansion joints. This is a normal characteristic of
the shock absorbers and repairs should not be attempted.

OFF-ROAD MODE
Off road mode changes the calibrations of four systems on the vehicle to
enhance off road performance:
• Electronic locking differential (ELD)- Any speed thresholds for
the ELD are lifted. The ELD will remain locked up to the maximum
vehicle speed when engaged.
• AdvanceTrac威– When off-road mode is engaged, the AdvanceTrac威
settings are altered for optimized off-road performance.
• Transmission shifting and response- The transmission shift
schedule is altered for improved off road performance. Upshifts are
delayed and occur less frequently. This will provide the best possible
vehicle response and acceleration.
• Engine throttle calibration- The engine throttle calibration is
altered for improved off-road performance.
Note: Operating the vehicle in this mode does not guarantee that the
vehicle will not become stuck in sand, snow or mud, etc. It is the driver’s
responsibility to assess off-road situations and determine if the terrain is
passable.
Note: Tow/haul mode will be disabled when off-road mode is active. If
tow/haul mode is active, it will be disabled when off-road mode is active.
Enabling Off-Road Mode
WARNING: Off-road mode is specifically calibrated for off-road
driving conditions and should never be used on pavement.
To enter off-road mode the following conditions must be met:
• The vehicle must be traveling less than 5 mph (8 km/h)
• Your foot must be off of the accelerator pedal
Note: If any of the conditions are not met, the information display
screen will display the appropriate messages to guide the driver through
the proper operating procedures.

Driving
To activate off-road mode press the
button located on the center
console. A chime will sound and a
message will appear indicating that
it is activated.
Disabling off-road mode
To disable off-road mode once it is active press the off-road mode button
a second time. A chime will sound and a message will appear indicating
that it is deactivated.
AdvanceTrac姞 Modes
During off-road mode the AdvanceTrac system provides the vehicle with
alternative AdvanceTrac威 calibrations, which improve off-road
performance.
Off road AdvanceTrac calibrations are enabled for 2H and 4H. When the
AdvanceTrac button is pressed once AdvanceTrac Sport will engage. In
this mode he vehicle will have ABS, traction control and yaw control
settings specifically calibrated for off-road condition. When the
AdvanceTrac button is pressed and held AdvanceTrac will become
disabled. In this mode only off-road calibrated ABS remains active. Also,
when off-road mode is not engaged, the AdvanceTrac disabled mode will
not revert to AdvanceTrac Sport mode above the speed threshold in
place.
To switch between AdvanceTrac
modes with off-road mode active,
press the AdvanceTrac button
located on the instrument panel.
• AdvanceTrac Sport- Pressing the stability control off button once
places the vehicle in the off-road sport mode. In this mode Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control Stability (TCS) and Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) are altered for a unique off-road mode
calibration. TCS and ESC allow for more tire spin and vehicle slip. Roll
Stablility Control (RCS) is disabled in this mode.
