Operating at High Speeds and
Track Days
Your vehicle is capable of sustained high
speeds and track day driving.
Before operating your vehicle at high
speeds:
•
Verify your tires have the correct
pressures. See Tires (page 58).
•
Inspect wheels and tires for wear and
damage. Replace any damaged wheels
and tires.
•
Check and set lug nut torque. See
Wheels (page 57).
•
Verify fluid levels for oil, coolant, brake,
and hydraulic fluid. See Maintenance
(page 38).
•
Change the oil and filter prior to use on
the track.
After operating your vehicle at high
speeds or track day driving, do the
following:
•
Set tire pressures to specification.
•
Check and set the lug nut torque. See
Wheels (page 57).
•
Check all fluid levels.
•
Refer to the Track Maintenance Interval
Chart. See Normal Scheduled
Maintenance (page 74).

There are several exceptions to the Normal
Schedule:

Axle Maintenance
If the axle fluid starts to approach the
maximum allowable temperature, a yellow
message appears in the information
display stating that the axle is over
temperature and you should reduce your
speed. Reducing your speed allows the
axle fluid to cool down to normal operating
temperatures. Unless the wrench warning
indicator appears, there is no need to
change the axle fluid if you receive this
message.
If the axle fluid reaches or
exceeds the maximum
allowable temperature, a red
message appears in the information
display along with a wrench warning
indicator. Change the rear axle fluid at the
next convenient time. For example, if you
are at a track it would be acceptable to
change the fluid after the track event, but
before any additional track events or
on-road driving takes place. The wrench
warning indicator turns off when you
switch off your vehicle.
Change the axle fluid anytime an axle is
submerged in water.
California Fuel Filter Replacement
If you register your vehicle in California, the
California Air Resources Board has
determined that the failure to perform this
maintenance item does not nullify the
emission warranty or limit recall liability
before the completion of your vehicle's
useful life. Ford Motor Company, however,
urges you to have all recommended
maintenance services performed at the
specified intervals and to record all vehicle
service.
