  • Page 12: Lug Nut Torque

    20 * Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners. When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel.
  • Page 13 • 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 are below 40°F (5°C) or in snow/ice conditions.
  • Page 14 Chassis • Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis. If a tire is damaged, replace it immediately. • Proper suspension alignment is critical for maximum performance and optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven tire wear, have your alignment checked.
  • Page 15 Chassis • Tire rotation (front tires at the top of the diagram) Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires. Note: If your tires show uneven wear, ask an authorized dealer to check for and correct any wheel misalignment, tire imbalance or mechanical problem involved before tire rotation.

  • Page 16: Roadside Emergencies

    Roadside Emergencies TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary mobility kit (located in the spare tire well in the trunk). The temporary mobility kit consists of an air compressor to reinflate the tire and a sealing compound that will effectively seal most punctures caused by nails or similar objects.
  • Page 17 Roadside Emergencies • Do not drive farther than 120 miles (193 km). Drive only to the closest authorized dealer or tire dealer. • Drive carefully and avoid abrupt steering maneuvers. • Periodically monitor tire inflation pressure in the affected tire; if the tire is losing pressure, have the vehicle towed.
  • Page 18 Roadside Emergencies What to do when a tire is punctured A tire puncture within the tire’s tread area can be repaired in two stages with the temporary mobility kit: • In the first stage, the tire will be reinflated with a sealing compound and air.
  • Page 19 Roadside Emergencies 4. Loosen the safety latch (4) on the sealing compound container (5) and rotate the container until it is upright and clicks into place. 5. Peel the speed limit sticker (6) off the side of the container and affix it to the center of the instrument panel so it can be seen in plain view.
  • Page 20 Roadside Emergencies Note: When the sealing compound is first added into the tire, the air pressure gauge reading (7) on the compressor unit may increase up to 90 psi; this is normal and should be no reason for concern. The pressure will drop after about 30 seconds of operation.
  • Page 21 Roadside Emergencies Second stage: Checking tire pressure 1. Stop driving after approximately two miles. Then check the air pressure of the damaged tire as follows: • Ensure the compressor is turned off by pressing the “O” side of the orange button. •...
  • Page 22 Roadside Emergencies 2. If the air pressure reads 19 psi (131 kPa) or higher, switch the air compressor on by pressing the “I” side of the orange button and adjust the air pressure to the recommended pressure. This pressure can be found on a label affixed to the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door.
  • Page 23 120 miles (200 km). After sealant use, the TPM (Tire Pressure Monitoring) sensor located inside the wheel, must be replaced by an authorized Ford dealer. Note: If you experience any unusual vibration, ride disturbance or noise while driving, reduce your speed until you can safely pull off to the side of the road to call for roadside assistance.
