Bronco 4x4 Systems

Switching the Stabilizer Bar Disconnect On

Stabilizer bar disconnect switch.

Switch the system on by pressing the button on the instrument panel. The stabilizer bar disconnects when the vehicle speed is below 30 mph (48 km/h) or 50 mph (80 km/h) depending your vehicle's G.O.A.T. mode. An amber indicator illuminates to show that the stabilizer bar disconnected.

When the vehicle speed exceeds 30 mph (48 km/h) or 50 mph (80 km/h) depending your vehicle's G.O.A.T. mode, the stabilizer bar reconnects and a gray indicator illuminates, indicating the system is in standby mode. The stabilizer bar disconnects again once the vehicle speed is below the system's threshold.

If the system is on and the vehicle speed is above 30 mph (48 km/h) or 50 mph (80 km/h) depending your vehicle's G.O.A.T. mode, the request is stored and a gray indicator illuminates to indicate the system is in standby mode. When the vehicle speed meets the requirements, the stabilizer bar disconnects and the amber indicator illuminates, indicating the stabilizer bar has disconnected.

Note: The stabilizer bar reconnects at 30 mph (48 km/h) or 50 mph (80 km/h) depending on selected G.O.A.T. mode.

Note: The gray indicator remains illuminated until either the vehicle speed reduces and the stabilizer bar disconnects, or the system turns off.

The stabilizer bar system also turns on and disconnects when you select the Rock Crawl drive mode. See Selecting a G.O.A.T. Mode - Raptor.

Note: The stabilizer bar disconnect is not available in certain drive modes. See Selecting a G.O.A.T. Mode - Raptor.

Note: The stabilizer bar disconnect could be delayed during wheel slippage, dynamic maneuvers, dynamic cornering or when there is an anti-lock brake system or electronic stability control event in progress.

Switching the Stabilizer Bar Disconnect Off

Switch the system off by pressing the stabilizer bar disconnect button, which reconnects the stabilizer bar if currently disconnected.

The stabilizer bar disconnect system also turns off when any of the following occur:

The engine is switched off.
You switch out of four-wheel drive low (4L) or four-wheel drive high (4H).
You select a drive mode that does not allow the stabilizer bar to disconnect.

Note: The stabilizer bar can be reconnected at any time. It is not necessary for the vehicle to be on a level surface as the stabilizer bar self-aligns.
