FORD MUSTANG 2008 5.G Shelby GT500 Supplement Manual

Second stage: Checking tire pressure
1. Stop driving after approximately two miles. Then check the air
pressure of the damaged tire as follows:
•Ensure the compressor is turned off by pressing the “O” side of the
orange button.
•Remove the hose and the cable with the electrical plug from the kit’s
storage compartment.
•Remove the valve cap from the sealed tire, then screw the hose firmly
onto the tire’s air valve.
•Start the engine(only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area)to prevent the vehicle’s battery from draining.
•Insert the electrical plug into the vehicle’s power point.
•Read the air pressure gauge on the temporary mobility kit.

2. If the air pressure reads 19 psi (131 kPa) or higher, switch the air
compressor on by pressing the “I” side of the orange button and adjust
the air pressure to the recommended pressure. This pressure can be
found on a label affixed to the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. If
the air pressure is higher than the label states, reduce the excess
pressure by pressing down on the pressure release valve (8).
Note:Before driving any further, adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended pressure on the vehicle’s tire placard located on the
B-pillar inside the driver’s door.
3. Turn the air compressor off by pressing the “O” side of the orange
button, then unscrew the hose from the tire’s air valve, reinstall the tire
valve cap, unplug the electrical plug from the power point and stow the
temporary mobility kit in its original location.

What to do after the tire has been sealed
After using the temporary mobility kit to seal your tire, you will need to
replace the sealing compound and hose. Sealing compound and spare
parts can be obtained and replaced at an authorized dealer or tire dealer.
Empty sealing compound bottles may be disposed of at home; however,
liquid residue from the sealing compound should be disposed by your
authorized dealer or tire dealer, or in accordance with local waste
disposal regulations.
Note:After the sealing compound has been used, the maximum vehicle
speed is 50 mph (80 km/h) and the maximum driving distance is
120 miles (193 km). The sealed tire should be replaced immediately, or
at least within the 120 miles (200 km). After sealant use, the TPM (Tire
Pressure Monitoring) sensor located inside the wheel, must be replaced
by an authorized Ford dealer.
Note:If you experience any unusual vibration, ride disturbance or noise
while driving, reduce your speed until you can safely pull off to the side
of the road to call for roadside assistance.
You can check the tire pressure any time within the 120 miles (193 km)
by performing the following:
1. Ensure the compressor is turned off by pressing the “O” side of the
orange button.
2. Remove the hose and the cable with the electrical plug from the kit’s
storage compartment.
3. Remove the valve cap from the sealed tire, then screw the hose firmly
onto the tire’s air valve.
4. Insert the electrical plug into the vehicle’s power point.
5. Start the engine(only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area)to prevent the vehicle’s battery from draining.
6. Read the air pressure gauge on the temporary mobility kit.
If the tire pressure needs to be increased, operate the air compressor
and inflate the tire to the recommended pressure as indicated on the
label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door.

WRECKER TOWING
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional towing
service or, if you are a member, your roadside assistance center.
It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift and
dollies or with flatbed equipement . When towing with a flatbed, 4x4
blocks must be used when loading/unloading your vehicle. Do not tow
with a slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not approved a slingbelt
towing procedure.
If the vehicle is towed by other means or incorrectly, vehicle
damage may occur.
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.

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION
Use Motorcraft SAE 5W-50 full synthetic or an equivalent SAE 5W-50 full
synthetic oil meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C931-B.
Do not use supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine
treatments. They are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that
is not covered by Ford warranty.
Change your engine oil and filter according to the appropriate schedule
listed in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
ENGINE AND INTERCOOLER COOLANT
The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the
mileage intervals listed in the scheduled maintenance guide. The coolant
concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant and water, which
equates to a freeze point of -36°C (-34°F). Coolant concentration testing
is possible with a hydrometer or antifreeze tester (such as the Rotunda
Battery and Antifreeze Tester, 0014–R1060). The level of coolant should
be maintained at the “cold fill range” level in the coolant reservoir. If the
level falls below, add coolant per the instructions in theAdding Engine
Coolantsection.
Your vehicle was factory-filled with a 50/50 engine coolant and water
concentration. If the concentration of coolant falls below 40% or above
60%, the engine parts could become damaged or not work properly.
A 50/50 mixture of coolant and water provides the following:
•freeze protection down to -36°C (-34°F).
•boiling protection up to 129°C (265°F).
•protection against rust and other forms of corrosion.
•an accurate temperature readout from the engine coolant
gauge.
