Front Lift System Dashboard Indicator

Front Lift

These are Front Lift System Indicator symbols. If equipped, these lights will appear or flash to indicate when the front of the vehicle is being raised or lowered. With the first indicator, an up or down arrow in the indicator will also be displayed, depending on the direction of movement. Note that the light will then remain on while the front is fully raised.

• Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If so, continue on.
• If not, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

Again with the first indicator, the system, powered by a two-position lift actuator, can hydraulically raise the front of vehicles that ride low to provide approximately 50 mm (2 in) of increased clearance. The Front Lift System allows the driver to lift the front of the vehicle to enter a driveway, clear curbs or speed bumps and to drive onto ramps or trailers.

Further, the front height can be raised automatically using the vehicle’s GPS navigation system. The vehicle can be programmed with up to 1,000 locations. Once the activation button is pushed, a notification appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and ask the driver if the location should be remembered.

The first symbol appears as the drawing of the front of a car approaching a raised obstacle with an arrow shown pointing up or down.

The second is found in the Ford Mustang GTD. The front end lift system allows the driver to raise the front axle to allow for driving over speed bumps or regions of road that require higher clearance. A button on the
instrument panel is pressed to either to lift or lower the front end.

The vehicle returns to normal ride height if it is switched off. Front lift is not available in track or drag mode or while traveling above 15 mph (24 km/h).

Ford did not specify a color, so we chose the yellow/amber/orange. They also did not note if the arrow points down when the front is lowered. It likely does.
