It may take up to two minutes of driving
over 20 mph (32 km/h) for the light to turn
off after you have filled your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure.
How Temperature Affects Your Tire
Pressure
The tire pressure monitoring system
monitors tire pressure in each pneumatic
tire. While driving in a normal manner, a
typical passenger tire inflation pressure
may increase about 2–4 psi (14–28 kPa)
from a cold start situation. If the vehicle is
stationary overnight with the outside
temperature significantly lower than the
daytime temperature, the tire pressure may
decrease about 3 psi (21 kPa) for a drop of
30°F (17°C) in ambient temperature. This
lower pressure value may be detected by
the tire pressure monitoring system as
being significantly lower than the
recommended inflation pressure and
activate the system warning light for low
tire pressure. If the low tire pressure
warning light is on, visually check each tire
to verify that no tire is flat. If one or more
tires are flat, repair as necessary. Check
the air pressure in the road tires. If any tire
is under-inflated, carefully drive the vehicle
to the nearest location where air can be
added to the tires. Inflate all the tires to
the recommended inflation pressure.

CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL

Important Information for Lifting
or Jacking
A vehicle jack is not included with your
vehicle. If you are on the road and need to
change a wheel, it is recommended that
you contact the Ford GT Concierge to
obtain roadside assistance. See Special

To avoid damage to your vehicle, use a low
profile hydraulic jack when removing a road
wheel. Only place the jack on one of the
alloy lifting posts when lifting your vehicle.
Do not lift your vehicle on the carbon fiber
panels.
Note: It is recommended that an interface
be used between the alloy lifting point and
the vehicle jack (for example, a hockey puck
or dense rubber pad).

DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED

Tire Pressure - Speeds Greater
Than 165 mph (265 km/h)
recommended pressure is located on the
tire label or safety certification label,
located on the B-pillar, inside the driver's
door.
Note: When driving over 165 mph
(265 km/h), be sure to check and adjust
your tire pressures accordingly.
