SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNING: Sitting improperly, out
of position or with the seatback reclined
too far can take weight off the seat
cushion and affect the decision of the
passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in the event of a
crash. Always sit upright against your
seat back, with your feet on the floor. When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seatbelt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in a crash.
We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•
Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.
• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of
10 in
(25 cm) between your breastbone and
the airbag cover.
• Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent. •
Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.
• Position the shoulder strap of the
seatbelt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.
MANUAL SEATS WARNING: Do not adjust the driver
seat when your vehicle is moving. To adjust the seatback:
1. Lean forward and pull the lever up.
2. With the seatback released, lean back
to a comfortable position while holding
the lever up.
3. Release the lever and let the seat lock into position.

STEERING WHEEL LOCK
The steering wheel locks automatically
when you leave your vehicle and take the
intelligent access key with you. The
steering wheel unlocks automatically when
you enter your vehicle with the intelligent
access key.
Note:
You may need to turn the steering
wheel left or right if the wheel does not
unlock completely. This may happen in
certain situations, such as parking your
vehicle on a steep grade.
STARTING THE ENGINE
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases. This helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds, without the engine starting,
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, you can crank
the engine three times for 20 seconds each,
without the engine starting, to reach the 60
second time limit. If you exceed the
cranking time, you cannot attempt to start
the engine for at least 15 minutes. After 15
minutes, you have a 15 second time limit to
crank the engine. You need to wait 60
minutes before you crank the engine again
for 60 seconds.
Before starting the engine, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants fasten their
seatbelts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Move the transmission selector into
park (P). Note:
Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
Note: You must have your intelligent access
key in the vehicle in order to shift the
transmission out of park (P). 1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2.
Press the Engine START/STOP button.
The system does not function if:
• The key frequencies are jammed.
• The key battery has no charge.
If you are unable to start the engine, do the
following: 1.
Place the key fob under the rubber mat
in front of the Engine START/STOP
button.

2. With the key in this position, press the
brake pedal and then the Engine
START/STOP button to switch the
ignition on and start your vehicle.
Note: If the vehicle fails to start, replace
the key fob battery.
Fast Restart
The fast restart feature allows you to
restart the engine within 20 seconds of
switching it off, even if a valid key is not
present.
Within 20 seconds of switching the engine
off, press the brake pedal and press the
START/STOP button. After 20 seconds
have expired, you can no longer restart the
engine without the key present inside your
vehicle.
Once the engine has started, it remains
running until you press the START/STOP
button, even if the system does not detect
a valid key. If you open and close a door
while the engine is running, the system
searches for a valid key. You cannot restart
the engine if the system does not detect a
valid key within 20 seconds.
Failure to Start
If you cannot start the engine after three
attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow this
procedure:
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Move the transmission selector to the park (P) position.
3. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there.
4. Press the START/STOP button once.
Stopping the Engine When Your
Vehicle is Stationary
1. Move the transmission selector to the park (P) position.
2. Press the START/STOP button once. 3. Apply the parking brake.
Note:
This switches off the ignition, all
electrical circuits, warning lamps and
indicators.
Stopping the Engine When Your
Vehicle is Moving WARNING: Switching off the
engine when your vehicle is still moving
results in a significant decrease in
braking assistance. Higher effort is
required to apply the brakes and to stop
your vehicle. A significant decrease in
steering assistance could also occur. The
steering does not lock, but higher effort
could be required to steer your vehicle.
When you switch the ignition off, some
electrical circuits, for example airbags,
also turn off. If you unintentionally switch
the ignition off, shift into neutral (N) and
restart the engine.
1. Move the transmission selector to the neutral position and use the brakes to
bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
2. When your vehicle has stopped, park (P) will engage automatically.
3. Press and hold the START/STOP button for one second, or press it three
times within two seconds.
4. Apply the parking brake.
Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes WARNING:
Exhaust leaks may
result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

REFUELING
WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel
tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank
may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
and fire. WARNING:
Do not try to pry open
or push open the capless fuel system
with foreign objects. This could damage
the fuel system and its seal and cause
injury to you or others. WARNING: Do not remove the fuel
pump nozzle from its fully inserted
position when refueling. WARNING: When refueling always
shut the engine off and never allow
sparks or open flames near the fuel tank
filler valve. Never smoke or use a cell
phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is
extremely hazardous under certain
conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes. WARNING:
Wait at least 10
seconds before removing the fuel pump
nozzle to allow any residual fuel to drain
into the fuel tank. WARNING:
Stop refueling when
the fuel pump nozzle automatically
shuts off for the first time. Failure to
follow this will fill the expansion space
in the fuel tank and could lead to fuel
overflowing.
Note: Your vehicle does not have a fuel filler
cap.
Note: You must unlock your vehicle before
opening and closing the fuel tank filler door. 1.
Fully open the fuel tank filler door until
it engages.
Note: When you insert the correct size fuel
pump nozzle a spring loaded inhibitor will
open.
2. Insert the fuel pump and keep it resting
on the cover of the fuel tank filler pipe
opening. 96

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNING: Always fully apply the
parking brake. Make sure you shift into
park (P) for vehicles with an automatic
transmission. Switch the ignition off and
remove the key whenever you leave your
vehicle. WARNING:
Do not apply the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than a few
seconds will limit engine performance,
which may result in difficulty maintaining
speed in traffic and could lead to serious
injury.
Your Ford GT vehicle is equipped with a
7-speed, dual clutch automatic
transmission. In drive (D), the transmission
shifts automatically, or you can shift with
the paddle shifters. In manual mode, you
must shift the transmission with the
paddle shifters.
Understanding the Positions of
Your Automatic Transmission 1. Fully press down the brake pedal. 2. Move the selector to the desired gear.
Park (P)
With the transmission in park (P), your
vehicle locks the transmission and
prevents the wheels from turning. Always
come to a complete stop before putting
your vehicle into park (P).
Automatic Return to Park
Note:
This feature does not operate when
your vehicle is in Stay in Neutral mode.
Your vehicle has a feature that
automatically shifts your vehicle into park
(P) when any of the following conditions
occur:
• You turn the vehicle off.
• You open the driver's door with your
seatbelt unlatched.
• Your seatbelt is unlatched when the
driver's door is open.
If you turn your vehicle off when moving,
your vehicle first shifts into neutral (N) until
it slows down enough to shift into park (P)
automatically.
Note: If you have waited an extended
period of time (2-15 minutes) before starting
your vehicle, unlatching your seatbelt causes
this feature to activate, even with the
driver's door closed.
Note: This feature may not work properly
if the door ajar switch is malfunctioning. If
your door ajar indicator does not illuminate
when you open the driver ’s door or the
indicator illuminates with the driver ’s door
closed, see your authorized dealer.
Reverse (R)
With the selector in reverse (R), your
vehicle moves backward. Always come to
a complete stop before shifting into and
out of reverse (R).

Brake-Shift Interlock
WARNING: When doing this
procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully apply the parking brake prior
to doing this procedure. Use wheels
chocks if appropriate. WARNING:
If the parking brake is
fully released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes
may not be working properly. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note: You should only use this procedure
in the event that your vehicle is disabled and
you cannot start the engine in order to shift
into Neutral (N) to move it. Use the provided
Transmission Park Override tool to release
the transmission park mechanism and allow
the rear tires to roll freely.
Note: See your authorized dealer as soon
as this procedure is used.
Note: Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are working.
Your vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift
interlock feature that prevents moving the
selector from park (P) when the ignition is
in the on position and the brake pedal is
not pressed.
If you cannot move the selector out of park
(P) position with the ignition in the on
position and the brake pedal pressed, a
malfunction may have occurred. It is
possible that a fuse has blown or your
vehicle ’s brake lamps are not operating
properly.
See Fuse Specification Chart
(page 143). If the fuse is good and the brake lamps are
functioning, then there may be a fault in
the system. To roll the car or to allow the
vehicle to be transported for repair, use the
following procedure to place the
transmission into neutral (N) manually. To
place the transmission into neutral (N) in
the event of a battery failure, or other
electrical fault that prevents the shifter
from working, use this procedure.
Manually Placing the Transmission in
Park Override
The transmission park override tool is in
the storage compartment under the rear
hatch.
It requires two people to perform this
procedure properly. One person seated in
the driver's seat, that must remain in
control of vehicle steering, brakes and
parking brake at all times. For instructions
on releasing the parking brake in the event
of a loss of vehicle battery power.
See
Electric Parking Brake (page 109). If you
do not have battery power, chock the
wheels so the car does not roll forward or
backward when not intended. 1.
Remove the plug from the bottom right
side of the storage compartment to
access the park override shaft.
