Driving Hints; Breaking-In; Driving Through Water - Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 2019 Manual Supplement

BREAKING-IN

Your vehicle requires a break-in period.
Drive your new vehicle at least 100 mi
(160 km) before performing extended wide
open throttle maneuvers and at least
1,000 mi (1,600 km) before performance
or competition conditions.
Note: Vary your speed frequently in order
to give the moving parts a chance to break
in.
Ground Clearance
Since ground clearance is reduced, use
caution when approaching curbs or curb
stops from the front and rear as vehicle
damage will occur. Additionally, when
crossing speed bumps or driveway curbs,
Ford Performance recommends
approaching at a 45 degree angle to
reduce the risk of vehicle damage.
Your vehicle carries the same warranty as
other Ford models. Damage caused by
accidents, crashes or objects striking the
vehicle (including driving through a car
wash) or misuse of the vehicle, such as
driving over curbs, overloading or racing is
not covered under the new vehicle limited
warranty. See the Warranty Guide for
complete information.

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

The GT350 has aerodynamic devices
attached to the underbody designed to
help control airflow for superior
performance. Therefore, the driver must
be especially careful to avoid driving
through deep or standing water. If driving
through deep or standing water is
unavoidable, do not exceed 10 mph
(16 km/h). Never drive through water that

rims. Water may enter through the air
intake due to the vacuum generated in the
engine. Damage caused by the intake of
water in the engine is not covered by the
warranty.
