ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
FUSESIf your electrical components aren’t working properly, a fuse may have blown. For more detailed information, please refer to your Owner’s Guide.
FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCHThis  device  stops  the  electric  fuel  pump  from sending fuel to the engine when your vehicle has had a substantial  jolt.  After  an  accident,  if  the  engine cranks  but  does  not  start,  this  switch  may  have  been activated.  The  fuel  pump  shut-off  switch  is  located  in the driver’s footwell, by the hood release. 
CHANGING THE TIRESYour  vehicle  is  equipped  with  a  temporary  spare  tire, which  is  smaller  than  a  regular  tire  and  designed  for emergency  use  only.  The  jack,  spare  tire,  jack  handle and  the  lug  nut  wrench  are  located  in  the  wheel  well underneath the trunk floor.
TIRE PRESSURESafe  operation  of  your  Mustang  requires  your  tires be  properly  inflated.  The  Ford  recommended  inflation pressure  is  found  on  the  tire  label  or  the  certification  label  on  the  driver’s  door.  At  least  once  a  month  and 
before  long  trips,  inspect  each  tire  and  check  the  air pressure with a tire gauge. Don’t forget the spare. Air pressure  should  be  checked  when  the  tires  are  cold. Inflate all tires to the inflation pressure recommended by Ford Motor Company.  
FUEL TANK CAPACITYYour  tank  holds  16  gallons  of  fuel.  For  optimum  performance use “Regular” unleaded fuel with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of at least 87.

This service is available 24 hours, seven days a week for three years or 36,000 miles.
