Whenever coolant has been added, the coolant level in
the coolant reservoir should be checked the next few
times you drive the vehicle. If necessary, add enough
50/50 concentration of engine coolant and distilled
water to bring the liquid level to the proper level.
If you have to add more than 1.0 liter (1.0 quart) of
engine coolant per month, have your dealer check
the engine cooling system. Your cooling system may
have a leak. Operating an engine with a low level of
coolant can result in engine overheating and possible
engine damage.
Steering linkage lubrication
The front and rear tie rod ends on this vehicle have
high temperature seals with greaseable fittings. The
fittings must be lubricated at 15,000–mile intervals
using Ford recommended ESA M1C 92A grease to
ensure proper function and extended service life.

WARRANTY COVERAGE
The SVT Mustang Cobra carries the same New
Vehicle Limited Warranty as other Ford Mustang
models. This information is covered in its entirety in
the Ford Motor Company Warranty Guide.
Warranty service for the SVT Mustang Cobra or any
SVT vehicle can be obtained at any Ford or Lincoln
Mercury dealer nationwide.
SVT does not recommend modifying or racing SVT
vehicles, as they are designed and built to be driven
as delivered from the factory. The Ford Motor
Company Warranty Guide discusses vehicle usage
and the installation of aftermarket parts and their
effect on warranty coverage as follows:
Repairs are not reimbursable under warranty when
damage is caused by:
•misusing the vehicle, such as driving over curbs,
overloading, racing, or using the vehicle as a
stationary power source.
•altering or modifying the vehicle—including the
body, chassis, or components—after the vehicle
leaves Ford’s control.
•non-Ford parts installed after the vehicle leaves
Ford’s control, including, but not limited to,
cellular phones, alarm systems and automatic
starting systems.
Please see the Warranty Guide for complete
information.
In the event the vehicle is intended for track use,
and the loss of warranty coverage is not of concern,
the following modifications are recommended:
•install front and rear racing compound brake pads
(Ford Racing Performance part #M-2001–A).
•install rear differential cooler (Ford Racing
Performance Part #M-4000–K). Permanent
damage to the rear differential will result if the
vehicle is subjected to competition conditions
without installation of a differential cooler.
Making these noted modifications and subjecting
your SVT Mustang Cobra to competition conditions
will render repairs non-reimbursable under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
