SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991. SVT was
commissioned to create factory-produced driver's cars and trucks;
vehicles that possess a balance between engine and chassis, roadholding
and a supple ride, refinement and performance capability. These qualities
are the core of the SVT product development philosophy.
To support SVT, Ford Motor Company created a dedicated product
development group, Ford Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE). The
nucleus of the Ford SVT and SVE is a small, cross-functional group of
engineers, product planners, and marketing people who meet on a
weekly basis to ensure SVT vehicles and their mission remain focused. In
addition to Ford SVE, SVT draws heavily on the talents and knowledge
of other driving enthusiasts at Ford who work in the key disciplines of
design, product development, manufacturing, and marketing. The heart
of the SVT philosophy is a deep commitment to skillful and enthusiastic
driving. The ultimate goal of everyone at SVT and SVE is to create
vehicles that speak to the needs and desires of the knowledgeable
driving enthusiast.

2Fill 6 mm to 14 mm (1/4 inch to 9/16 inch) below bottom of fill hole.
Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A, Ford
specification EST-M2C118±A for complete refill of Traction-Lok axles.
Your vehicle's rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and is
considered lubricated for life. These lubricants do not need to be
checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the
axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should
be changed any time the rear axle has been submerged in water.
3Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission
fluid requirements are indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick
handle. MERCONtand MERCONtV are not interchangeable. DO NOT
mix MERCONtand MERCONtV. Refer to your Scheduled Maintenance
Guide to determine the correct service interval.

OCTANE RECOMMENDATIONS
Your vehicle is designed to use
ªPremiumº unleaded gasoline with
an (R+M)/2 octane rating of 91 or
higher for optimum performance.
The use of gasolines with lower
octane ratings may degrade performance. We do not recommend the use
of gasolines labeled as ªPremiumº in high altitude areas that are sold
with octane ratings of less than 91.
If your engine knocks under any driving conditions while you are using
fuel with the recommended octane rating, see your dealer or a qualified
service technician to prevent any engine damage.
WHEELS AND TIRES
Tires295/45 ZR 18 BSW tires
WheelsSVT-Signature style, 18 in x 9.5 in aluminum 5-spoke wheels
TIRE ROTATION
²Unidirectional tire rotation
For vehicles equipped with
unidirectional tires and full-size
spare, your vehicle can be driven
with the unidirectional full-size
spare, rotating counter to the
directional arrow on the tire
sidewall.
Your unidirectional full-size spare
tire is rotated for wear balance. Best
performance may be achieved by
remounting the tire to the wheel, if
necessary, to permit tire rotation
with the directional arrow on the
tire sidewall.
SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL
Your vehicle is equipped a 235/70R-16 spare tire on a steel wheel rim.
This is for temporary use only. Replace this spare tire with a repaired
road tire as soon as possible.
