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 (60.6 L) 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 road-side assistance program. This service is available 24 hours, seven days a week for three years or 36,000 miles (60,000 km). It covers changing a flat tire, jump starts, limited fuel delivery, lockout assistance and towing of your vehicle.

The belt guide is secured to the side shield by fastening the magnet on the guide strap to the magnet on the side shield. 1 Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle (the buckle closest to the direction the tongue is coming from) until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle. 2 To unfasten, push the release button and remove the tongue from the buckle.
CONVERTIBLE (IF EQUIPPED)Do not store articles behind rear seat. Articles stored in the convertible top stowage compartment may break the rear glass window when the top is lowered.

NOTE The convertible top will not operate unless the vehicle is traveling under 1 .8 mph (3 km/h).
TO LOWER THE CONVERTIBLE TOP1 Stop the vehicle completely. Turn the key to the ON position. Recommended: Run the vehicle’s engine when lowering or raising the top to prevent draining the battery. 2 Ensure the convertible top stowage compartment behind the rear seat is empty and ready to receive the top. Ensure the convertible top outer surface is free of leaves and debris. 3 Unclamp the top from the windshield header at both the right and left sides by pulling each handle down and rearward until the handle clears the windshield header. NOTE If the top has not been lowered for a while and sticks to the windshield header, push the front of the top up slightly with your hand to loosen it. 4 Push the convertible top switch on the overhead console and hold until the windows are completely down and the top is completely stored.

The two pins under the forward edge of the top should seat in the matching holes in the header. 5 To fasten both handles securely, rotate the handles into the header on the top until they reach full forward and push up to flush the handle with the header. Pulling down on the header at the center grip while closing the handles may assist in fastening the top. 6 Raise the front and rear side windows.
