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.
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCEIn addition to your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Ford provides new vehicle owners with a complimentary roadside assistance program. This service is available 24 hours, seven days a week for three years or 36,000 miles. It covers changing a flat tire, jump starts, limited fuel delivery, lockout assistance and towing of your vehicle.

MUSTANG QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 2005
SMART UNLOCKINGThis feature helps prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle if your key is still in the ignition. When you open the door, lock the vehicle, and then close the door, the driver’s door will automatically unlock, reminding you that your key is still in the ignition. For more information, please refer to your Owner’s Guide.
REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEMYour vehicle is equipped with a remote entry system which allows you to lock or unlock the vehicle’s doors without a key. It also allows you to release the trunk lid, activate a personal alarm, and arm or disarm the active anti-theft alarm system (if equipped). Note: The Panic function will not operate when the ignition is in the ON or START position; the trunk lid release function only operates when the vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h). Up to four remote transmitters can be programmed to your vehicle. For programming instructions, please refer to your Owner’s Guide.
CENTRAL LOCKINGYour keys can be used to lock and unlock both doors from the driver’s door key cylinder. All doors are locked when the key is inserted and turned to the lock position. The driver’s door is unlocked when the key is inserted and turned to the unlock position. Turning to the unlock position again within three seconds unlocks the passenger side door.
ACTIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)This system is designed to sound the security horn and flash the directional indicators when unauthorized entry or towing is detected. This system is armed whenever the vehicle is electronically locked and disarmed when the vehicle is electronically unlocked. For more detailed information, please refer to your Owner’s Guide.

1 HEADLAMP CONTROL AND FOGLAMPS (IF EQUIPPED)Turning the headlamp control clockwise to the first position turns on the parking lamps, instrument panel lamps, license plate lamps and the tail lamps. Continuing to turn the headlamp control to the second position turns on the headlamps in addition to the previous lamps. To activate the high beams, pull the turn signal lever toward you to the second detent. Pull the lever toward you again to deactivate them. Use the same lever to activate the “Flash to Pass” feature. Pull the lever toward you to the first detent to activate and release quickly to deactivate.
The fog lamps can be turned on when the headlamp control is in the parking lamp or headlamp position and the high beams are not on. Pull the headlamp control toward you to turn on the fog lamps. The fog lamp indicator light will illuminate. Remember, the fog lamps will not operate when the high beams are activated.
2 PANEL DIMMERUse to adjust the brightness of the instrument panel and all applcable switches in the vehicle during headlamp and park lamp operation. Rotate the control fully upward, past the detent, to turn on the interior lamps.
3 ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The ABS warning lamp will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned on. If the light stays on, flashes or doesn’t illuminate, have your vehicle serviced. In an emergency, apply continuous force to the brake pedal. Do not pump the brakes. Any pulsation or mechanical noise you may feel or hear is normal.
4 SERVICE ENGINE SOON LAMPThe Service Engine Soon indicator lamp illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON position. If the lamp stays on or blinks, the On Board Diagnostics System has detected a malfunction. Drive moderately (avoid heavy acceleration or deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced immediately.
5 GEARSHIFT/OVERDRIVE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)Use overdrive in the normal D (Drive) position for the best fuel economy. D (Drive) with Overdrive can be deactivated by pressing the transmission control switch on the right side of the gearshift. Use this position only when driving conditions cause excessive shifting from O/D to other gears. Examples: city traffic, hilly terrain, heavy loads, etc., or when engine braking is required.*
