ignition FORD MUSTANG 2016 6.G Workshop Manual

•
Electronically power-assisted steering
adjusts steering effort and feel based
on your selected mode.
• Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control
in adverse conditions or high
performance driving. See Stability
Control (page 142).
• Electronic throttle control enhances
the powertrain response to your inputs.
Using Selectable Drive Modes
Selectable drive modes automatically
tailors your vehicle configuration for each

or switch on the instrument
panel under the display. The first press of
the mode button or switch illuminates the
selected mode, subsequent presses will
change the selected mode.
Note: Mode changes are not available when
the vehicle ignition is off or reverse (R) gear
is selected. In gear position drive (D), the
available modes are Normal, Sport+, Track
and Snow/Wet. In gear position sport (S)
Snow/Wet and Normal mode are
unavailable.
Modes:
• Normal – Delivers a balanced
combination of comfort and handling.
This mode provides an engaging drive
experience and a direct connection to
the road without sacrificing any of the
composure demanded from your
vehicle.
• Sport – Engages when you shift your
automatic transmission into sport (S).
Sport mode increases throttle
response and helps your vehicle
accelerate faster, but does not change
the feel of the steering or stability
system. •
Sport+ – Provides a sportier steering
feel and throttle response. Sport+
mode is ideal for use during more
spirited driving.
• Track – Provides a performance driving
experience. The engine responds
directly to your inputs and takes on a
more powerful tone. Track mode is for
use when pure performance is desired.
A performance oriented traction
control mode is automatically utilized
when Track drive mode is selected. In
this mode, traction control intervention
is reduced and tuned specifically for
track usage only and is not intended
for public roads. See
Using Stability
Control (page 143).
• Snow/Wet - Provides a confident
handling driving experience during poor
weather. This mode provides a
confident drive experience and a direct
connection to the road without
sacrificing any of the composure
demanded from your vehicle.
Note: Selectable driving modes has
diagnostic checks that continuously monitor
the system to ensure proper operation.
Certain selectable drive modes will not be
available based on gear shifter position (for
example, Snow/Wet is not available while
in sport (S) position). If a selected mode is
unavailable due to a system fault or change
in gear shifter position, the selected mode
will default to Normal.
Note: Collision warning with brake support
is automatically disabled when Track mode
is selected.
Selectable Steering
Note: The steering setting defaults to
Normal if the battery is disconnected or
removed.

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
If you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact a professional towing service or,
if you are a member of a roadside
assistance program, your roadside
assistance service provider.
We recommend the use of a wheel lift and
dollies or flatbed equipment to tow your
vehicle. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford
Motor Company has not approved a
slingbelt towing procedure. Vehicle
damage may occur if towed incorrectly, or
by any other means.
Ford Motor Company produces a towing
manual for all authorized tow truck
operators. Have your tow truck operator
refer to this manual for proper hook-up
and towing procedures for your vehicle. The rear wheels (drive wheels) must be
on a tow dolly when towing your vehicle
from the front using wheel lift equipment.
This prevents damage to the transmission.
The front wheels should be on a tow dolly
when towing your vehicle from the rear
using wheel lift equipment. This prevents
damage to the front fascia.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON
FOUR WHEELS
Emergency Towing
WARNING
If your vehicle has a steering wheel
lock make sure the ignition is in the
accessory or on position when being
towed. You can flat-tow (all wheels on the
ground, regardless of the powertrain or
transmission configuration) your disabled
vehicle (without access to wheel dollies
or vehicle transport trailer) under the
following conditions:
•
Your vehicle is facing forward so you
tow it in a forward direction.
• You shift into Neutral (N). If you cannot
shift into Neutral (N), you may need to
override the transmission. See
Transmission (page 132).
• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is
50 mi (80 km).
Recreational Towing
Note: Put your climate control system in
recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering the vehicle. See
Climate Control
(page 99).

OPENING THE CONVERTIBLE
TOP
When you use the top, you must first
unlatch it from the windshield and then
use the convertible top control.
Note:
The convertible top does not operate
unless the vehicle is stationary or traveling
under 3 mph (5 km/h). A chime sounds and
a warning message appears in the
instrument panel. When you slow down, the
top operates.
Note: When you latch or unlatch the
convertible top, the audio system mutes
briefly. This allows the vehicle to optimize
the cabin ’s sound quality depending on the
position of the convertible top.
To unlatch the convertible top:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The ignition must be on. We
recommend that the vehicle remains
running when you open the top to
prevent draining the battery.
2. Check the convertible top stowage compartment behind the rear seat to
be sure it is empty. Make sure the
convertible top outer surface is free of
debris.
3. Move the latch handle, located above the interior mirror, down toward the
windshield and rotate the handle
clockwise to release the convertible
top. The windows open automatically when
you press the convertible top control.
To open the convertible top:
1. Press and hold the convertible top
control, located on the overhead
console, until the windows are
completely down and the top stores
completely.
2. Release the convertible top control. Note:
Do not store articles behind the rear
seat. Articles stored in the convertible top
stowage compartment may break the rear
glass window when you open the top.
Note: Opening the convertible top when
the top material is wet may cause mold or
mildew.

To close the convertible top:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop
and make sure you switch the ignition
on. We recommend that the vehicle
remains running when you open the
top to prevent draining the battery.
2. Press and hold the convertible top control. When the convertible latch
handle is within reach, make sure it is
down and that you rotate it clockwise
so the latch is in the fully opened
position. Continue pressing the
convertible top control until the
windows raise completely, and the top
unfolds and moves forward toward the
windshield header.
3. When the top lines up evenly with the windshield header, release the
convertible top control. The final step when closing the convertible
top is to lock the latch.
To lock the latch on the convertible top:
1. Pull down on the latch handle and
rotate it counter-clockwise to secure
the convertible top.
2. After securing the convertible top fully,
push the latch handle up into the
stowed position to secure the latch. Note:
If you keep the top open for an
extended period of time or if the
temperature is low, the top material may
shrink slightly. If this happens, pull on the
latch handle to secure the top.

HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS
Note:
The hazard warning flashers will
operate when the ignition is in any position
or if the key is not in the ignition. If used
when the engine is not running, the battery
will lose charge. As a result, there may be
insufficient power to restart your engine. The hazard flasher control is
located on the instrument panel
by the radio. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and is creating a safety
hazard for other motorists. •
Press the flasher control and all front
and rear direction indicators flash.
• Press the flasher control again to turn
them off.
FUEL SHUTOFF WARNING
Failure to inspect and, if necessary,
repair fuel leaks after a collision may
increase the risk of fire and serious
injury. Ford Motor Company recommends
that the fuel system be inspected by an
authorized dealer after any collision. In the event of a moderate to severe
collision, this vehicle includes a fuel pump
shut-off feature that stops the flow of fuel
to the engine. Not every impact will cause
a shut-off.
Should your vehicle shut off after a
collision, you may restart your vehicle. For
vehicles equipped with a push button start
system:
1. Press the START/STOP button to
switch off the ignition.
2. Press the brake pedal (automatic transmission) or the clutch pedal
(manual transmission) and press the
START/STOP
button to switch on the
ignition.
3. Remove your foot from the brake or clutch pedal and press the
START/STOP
button to switch off
the ignition.
4. Press the brake or clutch pedal and the
START/STOP
button, or switch on
the ignition only by pressing the
START/STOP
button without
pressing the brake or clutch pedal. Both
ways re-enable the fuel system.

A message may appear in the information
displays to alert you that battery
protection actions are active. These
messages are only for notification that an
action is taking place, and not intended to
indicate an electrical problem or that the
battery requires replacement.
After battery replacement, or in some
cases after charging the battery with an
external charger, the battery management
system requires eight hours of vehicle sleep
time to relearn the battery state of charge.
During this time your vehicle must remain
fully locked with the ignition switched off.
Note:
Prior to relearning the battery state
of charge, the battery management system
may temporarily disable some electrical
systems.
Electrical Accessory Installation
To make sure the battery management
system works correctly, do not connect an
electrical device ground connection
directly to the battery negative post. This
can cause inaccurate measurements of
the battery condition and potential
incorrect system operation.
Note: If you add electrical accessories or
components to the vehicle, it may adversely
affect battery performance and durability.
This may also affect the performance of
other electrical systems in the vehicle.
CHECKING THE WIPER
BLADES Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of
the blade to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid
or water applied with a soft sponge or
cloth.
CHANGING THE WIPER
BLADES
1. Pull the wiper blade and arm away
from the glass and press the locking
buttons together. 2. Rotate and remove the wiper blade.
3. Attach the new blade to the arm and
snap it into place.
Replace wiper blades at least once per
year for optimum performance.
Poor wiper quality can be improved by
cleaning the wiper blades and the
windshield. See Cleaning the Windows
and Wiper Blades (page 230).
ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS
Vertical Aim Adjustment
The headlamps on your vehicle are
properly aimed at the assembly plant. If
your vehicle has been in an accident, have
the alignment of your headlamps checked
by an authorized dealer.

•
Do not apply wax to glass areas.
• After waxing, your car's paint should
feel smooth, and be free of streaks and
smudges.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are
clean because grease and dirt buildup keep
the engine warmer than normal.
When washing:
• Take care when using a power washer
to clean the engine. The high-pressure
fluid could penetrate the sealed parts
and cause damage.
• Do not spray a hot engine with cold
water to avoid cracking the engine
block or other engine components.
• Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and
Degreaser on all parts that require
cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Engine
Shampoo.
• Never wash or rinse the engine while it
is hot or running; water in the running
engine may cause internal damage.
• Never wash or rinse any ignition coil,
spark plug wire or spark plug well, or
the area in and around these locations.
• Cover the battery, power distribution
box, and air filter assembly to prevent
water damage when cleaning the
engine.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance. To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
•
Clean the windshield with a
non-abrasive glass cleaner. When
cleaning the interior of the windshield,
avoid getting any glass cleaner on the
instrument panel or door panels. Wipe
any glass cleaner off these surfaces
immediately.
• For windshields contaminated with
tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean
the entire windshield using steel wool
(no greater than 0000 grade) in a
circular motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
concentrate.
Note: Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals
from the inside of the heated rear window.
The vehicle warranty does not cover
damage caused to the heated rear window
grid lines.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR WARNINGS
Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach
or dye on the vehicle
’s safety belts,
as these actions may weaken the
belt webbing. On vehicles equipped with
seat-mounted airbags, do not use
chemical solvents or strong
detergents. Such products could
contaminate the side airbag system and
affect performance of the side airbag in a
collision. 230
