Operating at high speeds
Your SVT vehicle is capable of high speeds and is equipped with tires
rated for the vehicle’s maximum speed. Remember to drive safely, obey
all traffic laws and only operate your SVT vehicle at high speeds at
locations equipped and designed to do so safely. Before operating your
vehicle at high speeds:
•Ensure correct tire pressures (seeTiresin this supplement).
•Inspect wheels and tires for wear and damage. Replace any damaged
wheels or tires.
•Do not operate your vehicle at high speeds with more than two
passengers or while carrying cargo.
Wheel lug nut torque specifications
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at 500 miles (800 km)
after any wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel
removal, etc.).
Bolt size Wheel lug nut torque*

* Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and
rust. Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners.
WARNING:When a wheel is installed, always remove any
corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Ensure that any fasteners that
attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with
the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct
metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in
motion, resulting in loss of control.

Tire rotation
Because your vehicle is equipped with unique larger tires on the rear
wheels, you can only rotate the tires side to side. You must not rotate
tires in a crisscross pattern or front to rear. If you notice that the tires
wear unevenly, have them checked.
Rotating your tires at the recommended interval (as indicated in the
scheduled maintenance informationwill help your tires wear more
evenly, providing better tire performance and longer tire life. Unless
otherwise specified, rotate the tires approximately every 5,000 miles
(8,000 km).
•Tire rotation (front tires at the
top of the diagram)
Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires.
Note:If your tires show uneven wear, ask an authorized dealer to check
for and correct any wheel misalignment, tire imbalance or mechanical
problem involved before tire rotation.
Note:After having your tires rotated, inflation pressure must be checked
and adjusted to the vehicle requirements.
