Expedition 2WD V8-281 4.6L SOHC (1998)
There are four modes of operation for the front wipers: speed dependent interval, slow, fast and wash. These modes are only active with the ignition
switch in the RUN or ACC position.
The two modes of operation for the rear wipers are interval and wash. These modes are only active with the ignition switch in the RUN or ACC positions
and with both the liftgate and liftgate glass closed.
The GEM controls five warning chimes and lamps: headlamps operating without the ignition on (chime only), door ajar (chime and lamp),
key-in-ignition (chime only), driver seat safety belt warning (chime and lamp), and low washer fluid warning (chime and lamp).
The battery saver feature removes extended interior lamp power drains from the battery. The GEM will keep power available for all interior lights and
under hood lamp circuits for 40 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off.
The GEM illuminates the interior courtesy lamps when any door is ajar. The GEM also provides illuminated entry when the unlock button is used to
unlock the vehicle.
The GEM illuminates the running board lamps when the interior lamps are activated (see courtesy lamps and illuminated entry description above) and
the ignition switch is not in the RUN position.
The delayed accessory feature provides power to the power windows for ten minutes after the ignition switch is moved from the RUN to the OFF
position. If during this ten-minute period either front door is opened, the delayed accessory relay will be de-energized.
This system is equipped with Automatic 4-Wheel Drive (A4WD).
