Welcome to the Ford Special Vehicle Team family and thank you for

dedication to the automotive enthusiast’s total ownership experience will

driving in your new SVT Focus.
SVT strives for balance between powertrain and chassis, cornering
prowess and long-distance comfort, always working to build vehicles in
which no one system overwhelms or overshadows any other. In the SVT
Focus, that philosophy is carried forward through a sophisticated
powertrain as well as significant interior, exterior, suspension, and
braking system components.
This supplement complements your Focus Owner’s Guide and provides
information specific to SVT and the SVT Focus. By referring to the pages
listed in this supplement, you can identify those features,

(1–800–367–3788).
SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991. SVT was
commissioned to create factory-produced driver’s vehicles; 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). In October
2001, Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) was renamed Special Vehicle
Team/Engineering (SVT/Engineering). The nucleus of Ford SVT 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. 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 is
to create vehicles that speak to the needs and desires of the
knowledgeable driving enthusiast.
Every SVT vehicle produced has been designed and developed with four
key virtues in mind: Performance, Substance, Exclusivity, and Value.

SVT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
For information on the warning and indicator lights in the clusters, refer
to theFocus Owner’s Guide.
SVT AUXILIARY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Indicates the temperature of the
engine oil. At normal operating
temperature, the needle remains
within the normal area. If it enters
the red section, the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, switch off
the engine immediately and let the
engine cool. Refer toEngine oilin
theFocus Owner’s Guide.
SVT Focus Specific Features
6

This gauge indicates the
temperature of the engine oil, not
the oil level. If the oil pressure falls
below the normal range due to low
oil level, the engine oil pressure warning light in the main instrument
cluster will illuminate. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and
switch off the engine immediately. Check the oil level and add oil if
needed. Refer toEngine oilin theFocus Owner’s Guide.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
This gauge indicates engine oil
pressure up to a recommended safe
maximum value. During normal
driving the indicated oil pressure
will vary with engine speed, the
pressure rising as engine speed rises
and dropping as engine speed drops.
Driving with your oil pressure gauge pointer continuously at the top of
the scale may damage the engine.
If the engine oil pressure drops
below the normal range, the oil
pressure gauge pointer will drop to
the bottom of the gauge scale and
the engine oil pressure warning light in the main instrument cluster will
illuminate. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and switch off the
engine immediately. Check the oil level and add oil if needed. Refer to
Engine oilin theFocus Owner’s Guide.

Octane recommendations
Your vehicle is designed to use
“Premium”unleaded gasoline with
an (R+M)/2 octane rating of 91 or
higher. The use of gasoline with
lower octane ratings may damage
the engine. Gasoline labeled as“Premium”in high altitude areas that are
sold with octane ratings of less than 91 are not recommended.
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.
Synthetic fluids
There are no synthetic fluids or break-in fluids in your SVT Focus engine
when it leaves the factory. Note that SVT does not make
recommendations about the use of synthetic oils in your engine. should
you decide to use synthetic engine oil, we recommend you allow 4,000 to
6,000 (6,500 km to 9,600 km) in order to assure complete break-in
before switching to synthetic oil.
Maintenance and break-in
For complete maintenance and break-in procedure information, please
refer to yourFocus Owner’s Guide.
