WASHING YOUR SHELBY GT500
Do not drive your vehicle through an automated, commercial car
wash due to the vehicle’s low ground clearance, tire width and
track. Wash your vehicle by hand, with a commercial wand, or by
using a touchless commercial wash with no mechanical tracks on
the floor.

WHEELS
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with unique wheels matched to the tires.
These wheels are more susceptible to damage due to their diameter,
width and low profile tires. To avoid damage to your wheels:
•Maintain proper tire pressure (seeTiresin this supplement).
•Do not drive your vehicle through an automated, commercial car wash
due to the vehicle’s low ground clearance, tire width and track. Wash
your vehicle by hand, with a commercial wand, or by using a touchless
commercial wash with no mechanical tracks on the floor.
•When installing wheels, always torque lug nuts to specification with a
torque wrench.
•Inspect your wheels for damage on a regular basis. If a wheel is
damaged, replace it immediately.
•In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
the outer diameter of your wheels, both inside and out, for damage.
