Therefore, the driver must be especially careful to avoid driving through deep or standing water.

  • Page 12: Ground Clearance

    Driving your Shelby GT500 GROUND CLEARANCE Because of low vehicle ground clearance, use caution when approaching curbs/curb stops from the front and rear as vehicle damage will occur. Additionally, when crossing speed bumps or driveway curbs, SVT recommends approaching at a 45 degree angle to reduce the risk of vehicle damage.

  • Page 15: Tire Information

    • The Shelby GT500 original equipment tires are optimized for performance in both wet and dry conditions. Ford does not recommend using the original equipment tires when temperatures drop to approximately 40°F (5°C) or below (depending on tire wear and environmental conditions) or in snow/ice conditions.
  • Page 16 Wheels and Tires • The Shelby GT500 optional P265/40-19 front, P285/35-20 rear directional tires were designed for track use and may exhibit significantly reduced tread life and increased tire noise compared to the standard equipment tires under normal driving conditions. Increasing the front camber settings beyond the factory settings may further accelerate tread wear and induce tire noise.
  • Page 17 Do not apply heat or blow heated air directly on the tires. Always inspect the tires after storage periods and before use as outlined in the owner’s guide. Ford does not recommend using these high performance summer tires when temperatures drop to approximately 40°F (5°C) or below, or in snow/ice...
  • Page 18 Never perform high speed driving with winter tires. Please call the Ford Performance Info Center at 1-800-FORD-SVT (367-3788) for specific winter tire recommendations. Tire rotation Because your vehicle is equipped with unique larger tires on the rear wheels, you can only rotate the tires side to side.

  • Page 19: Roadside Emergencies

    When towing with a flatbed, 4x4 blocks must be used when loading/unloading your vehicle. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not approved a slingbelt towing procedure. Note: If the vehicle is towed by other means or incorrectly, vehicle damage may occur.
  • Page 20 Roadside Emergencies Transportation Instructions When towing the vehicle, make sure that you use two mini J hooks and attach them to the crossmember oblong holes as shown. Other methods may damage the vehicle. 2012 05+ Mustang (197) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)

  • Page 24: Engine Oil

    ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION Use Motorcraft SAE 5W-50 full synthetic or an equivalent SAE 5W-50 full synthetic oil meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C931-B. Do not use supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine treatments. They are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that is not covered by Ford warranty.
  • Page 25 Maintenance 5. Locate and carefully remove the engine oil level dipstick. 6. Wipe the dipstick clean. Insert the dipstick fully, then remove it again. • If the oil level is between the lower and upper holes, the oil level is acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.
  • Page 26 Maintenance When the engine is cold, check the level of the engine coolant in the reservoir. Fill your engine coolant reservoir as outlined in Adding engine coolant in this section. • The coolant should be at the “cold fill range” as listed on the engine coolant reservoir and intercooler coolant reservoir.
  • Page 27 Maintenance Adding coolant When adding coolant, make sure it is a 50/50 mixture of coolant and distilled water. Add the mixture to the coolant reservoir, when the engine is cool, until the appropriate fill level is obtained. WARNING: Do not add coolant when the engine is hot. Steam and scalding liquids released from a hot cooling system can burn you badly.
  • Page 28 Maintenance WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure the engine is cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief cap. The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly. If you must remove the pressure relief cap or radiator cap (depending upon engine application), follow these steps to avoid personal injury: 1.
  • Page 29 Maintenance After any coolant has been added, check the coolant concentration (refer to the Maintenance and Specifications chapter of your Owner’s Guide). If the concentration is not 50/50 (protection to –34°F/–36°C), drain some coolant and adjust the concentration. It may take several drains and additions to obtain a 50/50 coolant concentration.

  • Page 30: Air Filter(S)

    Maintenance AIR FILTER Refer to scheduled maintenance information for the appropriate intervals for changing the air filter element. When changing the air filter element, use only the Motorcraft air filter element listed. Refer to Motorcraft part numbers in this chapter. WARNING: To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and/or personal burn injuries do not start your engine with the air cleaner removed and do not remove it while the engine is running.
