Performance/Handling
4.0L SOHC SEFI 12V V-6 engineStandard on all models
• 205 horsepower and 240 lb.-ft. of torque
• Sequential multi-port EFI precisely monitors the
timing of fuel delivered to each intake port
• Low emissions vehicle (LEV) certification
• Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) capability
(late availability)
Electric Shift 4x4 SystemStandard on all 4x4 models
• Provides three rotary settings: 2WD, 4WD HIGH,
4WD LOW
• 2WD mode is for normal driving conditions
• 4WD HIGH mode is for moderate off-road
conditions such as snow, ice or shallow mud or
sand
• 4WD LOW mode is for severe off-road conditions,
such as deep sand, steep grades or pulling a
vehicle out of mud
• Switch is mounted on the instrument panel for
added convenience
Explain the differences between the three settings. 4WDHIGH is used for severe weather or off-road conditions such
as snow, ice or shallow sand. 4WD LOW should be used only atspeeds under 35 mph and never on dry pavement. 2WD is used formost normal driving conditions.
Electronically controlled five-speedautomatic overdrive transmissionStandard on all models
• Closely spaced ratios on first four gears mean
better throttle response and acceleration
• Fifth gear overdrive reduces engine rpm at
highway speeds, providing improved fuel economy
and quiet operation
• Electronically controlled for optimum smoothness
and shifting consistency, and includes components
designed to stand up to higher torque forces
• Uses Mercon V automatic transmission fluid that
does not require changing under normal
operating conditions. Under severe operation,
such as heavy trailering, transmission fluid needs
to be changed only at 30,000-mile intervals
• This five-speed automatic transmission gives
Explorer Sport Trac a 9600-lb. GCWR

Safety/Security
Fog lampsIncluded in Premium Sport Group
• Provide enhanced visibility in certain poor
weather conditions
Four-wheel Anti-lock Braking System(ABS)Standard on all models
• Four-wheel Anti-lock Braking System helps prevent
braking-induced wheel lockup and enhances
steering control on a variety of road surface
conditions
• The ABS system monitors and controls brake
pressure to each front wheel individually, and
both rear wheels together
• Impending wheel lockup is detected before any of
the four wheels actually lock up
• Brake pressure to the wheel (or both rear wheels)
that may lock is pumped several times per second.
The action of the electric pump can be heard as a
rapid clicking sound, and a faint pulse can often
be felt through the brake pedal — this is normal
• This pumping action helps prevent the wheels
from locking and gives the tires added traction for
steering and slowing the vehicle
• Remind your customers that they should never
pump the brakes
If space is available, demonstrate ABS in your parking lot oron an empty stretch of roadway. Apply the brakes quickly
and have your customers listen for unfamiliar sounds associated withABS. Then have customers test the ABS to familiarize themselveswith the normal brake pedal pulsation.
Crosscowl and side door intrusionbeamsStandard on all models
• Side door intrusion beams help reinforce side door
structure
• Beams absorb energy and help to reduce
passenger compartment intrusion during certain
side impacts

safety belts
Point out that tampering with the airbag covers could voidthe limited warranty and cause damage that could render the

Safety/Security cont’d
SecuriLockTM passive anti-theft systemStandard on all models
• Designed to prevent the engine from being
started without the properly encoded key
• If the key does not have the correct code, the
vehicle will not start
• The system is automatically armed when the key
is removed from the ignition and is disarmed
when the correct key is reinserted into the ignition
• Explain to your customer that SecuriLock operates
through a small transponder embedded in the
ignition key that transmits an individually coded
signal. There are 72 quadrillion possible codes. The
system requires no independent battery power,
and there are no electrical connections between
the two elements
• If a customer’s key is lost, a new one may be
obtained and programmed at a Ford dealership
Have the customer try to start the vehicle with a key thatbelongs to another Explorer Sport Trac. Explain that the
specially coded key transmits a radio signal to a small transmitter inthe steering column. When the wrong key is inserted, the vehicle won’tstart. This is why it’s such an effective anti-theft system.
Belt-Minder SystemStandard on all models
• Designed to encourage safety belt usage by
reminding people to buckle up
• Uses a safety belt usage sensor located in the belt
buckle to determine whether the driver is using
the safety belt
• After the engine is started, Belt-Minder waits
about 5 seconds, until the existing belt reminder
stops sounding
• If the driver is still unbelted after the vehicle speed
reaches 3 mph, Belt-Minder sounds a 4Hz chime
and flashes the existing safety belt warning light
• It flashes and chimes for 6 seconds, followed by a
30-second pause, and then repeats
• The cycle continues for 5 minutes, then the Belt-
Minder System is deactivated for the remainder of
the key cycle
• If the driver fastens the safety belt during the key
cycle, Belt-Minder is deactivated for the remainder
of the key cycle
Have your customer sit in the vehicle without fastening thesafety belt. Ask the customer to turn the vehicle on. This
will activate the Belt-Minder System. The system will continue tochime for 5 minutes or until the safety belt is fastened.
Child-safety seat tether anchorsStandard on all models
• Provide more secure installation of a child-safety
seat
• Tether straps supplement the vehicle’s safety belts

Audio systems are very important to most
consumers. In fact, many customers may be
more interested in the quality of a vehicle’s
sound system than in many other features.
Don’t be surprised if the audio system is the
first feature a customer tries out on a test-drive.
Because a vehicle’s audio system is such an
important factor in the purchase decision,
Explorer Sport Trac offers a wide range of
audio systems to satisfy the needs of everyone.
Contact your local Visteon Authorized Service Center for specific applications
and installation of dealer-installed options or call the Visteon Audio Hotline at 1-800-367-3333.
