2005 Ford Taurus Owners Manual

Driving
During Traction Control௢   operation,
the traction control  active light will
illuminate, you may  hear an electric
motor type of  sound coming from
the engine compartment  and the
engine will not  “rev-up” when you  push further on the  accelerator. This
is normal system  behavior and should  be no reason for  concern.
Aggressive driving in  any road conditions  can cause you to  lose
control of your  vehicle increasing the  risk of severe personal
injury or property  damage. The occurrence  of a Traction Control
event is an  indication that at  least some of the  tires have exceeded
their ability to  grip the road;  this may lead to  an increased risk  of loss
of vehicle control,  vehicle rollover, personal  injury and death. If  you
experience a severe  road event, SLOW  DOWN.
The Traction Control௢   switch,
located on the  right-hand side of  the
instrument cluster, has  an indicator
O
F
F
light that illuminates  when the
T/C
system is off.  The Traction Control
system will automatically  turn on
every time the  ignition is turned  off
and on. The  Traction Controlsystem  should normally be left  on.
If you should  become stuck in  snow or ice or  on a very  slippery road
surface, try switching  the Traction Control௢  system off. This may  allow
excess wheel spin  to “dig” the  vehicle out and enable  a successful
“rocking” maneuver.
If a system  fault is detected,  the traction control active  light will
illuminate, the Traction  Controlbutton will  not turn the system  on or
off and your  vehicle should be  serviced.
STEERING
To prevent damage  to the power  steering system, never hold  the steering
wheel at its  furthest turning points  (until it stops) for  more than a  few
seconds when the  engine is running.
It is also  important to maintain  a proper power steering  fluid level in  the
power steering fluid  reservoir:
Do not operate  the vehicle with  a low power steering  pump fluid level
(below the MIN  mark on the  reservoir).
