WHEELS
Your Boss302 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 width.
Wash your vehicle by hand, 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 edge of your wheels, both inside and out, for damage.
Operating at High Speeds
Your Boss302 is capable of high speeds and is equipped with tires
rated for the vehicle’s maximum speed, electronically limited to 155 mph
(250 km/h). Remember to drive safely, obey all traffic laws and only
operate your 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
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. Make sure 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.

TRACK PREPARATION
The Boss302 and Boss302 Laguna Secaedition have been rigorously
proven out on race tracks. Below are recommendations for optimizing
your Boss302 for a track day event.
•For optimal performance, premium fuel is recommended.
•Change brake fluid to Super DOT 4 to improve track performance of
braking system (WSS-M6C65-A2), Ford part number (YS4Z-19542-
AA).
•Install Ford Racing front brake cooling kit (M-2004-MB) to improve
brake cooling (standard on Laguna Secaedition).
•Remove rear brake dust shields to improve brake cooling.
•Install Ford Racing transmission cooling scoop (M-5025-MBR) to
improve transmission cooling (standard on Laguna Secaedition).
•During extended track sessions in extreme temperatures or
conditions, your Boss 302 may require additional engine cooling
actions. If the water temperature warning light illuminates, return to
the paddock and let the vehicle return to normal operating
temperature while idling before turning the engine off. Prior to the
next session, remove the round fog light delete covers from the upper
grille. This wi ll allow more cooling air to the radiator and allow the
car to run extended sessions in extreme heat. Visit fordracing.com for
additional parts to further enhance the powertrain cooling on your
Boss 302.
•For extended track use, Ford recommends installing a rear differential
cooler to improve rear axle cooling.
•The Ford Racing front splitter kit (M-16601P-MBA, standard on
Laguna Secaedition) can be installed to improve high-speed vehicle
stability and handling. If the Ford Racing front splitter kit will be
installed on a Boss 302 without the Laguna Secapackage, Ford
recommends installing the Laguna Secaedition rear spoiler in place
of the standard rear spoiler to maintain aerodynamic balance. The
unique lower grille from the Laguna Secaedition should also be
installed to accommodate the splitter support rods. This front splitter
is intended for race track use only and is not legal for on-street
driving. It may degrade crash performance and void the vehicle
warranty. The front splitter must be installed by the customer.

WARRANTY COVERAGE
The Boss302 carries the same warranty as other Ford Mustang models,
which is covered in its entirety in the Ford Motor Company Warranty
Guide.
The three unique Laguna SecaPackage high performance parts (front
splitter, front brake cooling kit, and transmission cooling scoop) are
warranted by Ford Racing against defects in material and workmanship
for 3 years / 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first) from the vehicle
warranty start date; and are not covered by the terms of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty (as outlined in the Boss302 Laguna Seca – Dealer
Installation Waiver).
Warranty service for the Boss302 can be obtained at any Ford dealer
nationwide.
Ford does not recommend modifying or racing Ford vehicles, as they are
designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory. The Ford
Motor Company Warranty Guide discusses vehicle usage and the
installation of aftermarket parts and their effect on warranty coverage.
Please see the Warranty Guide for complete information.
In the event the vehicle is intended for track use, and the loss of
warranty coverage is not of concern, the following vehicle durability
modification is required:
•Note:Ford recommends that you change your axle lubricant and
friction modifier after the initial (first) hour of high-speed operation or
if the vehicle is subjected to track or competition conditions;
thereafter changing the axle lubricant and friction modifier every
12 hours (under these conditions).
•Note:Ford recommends you change your oil and filter after your
vehicle is subjected to track and/or competition conditions.
Additionally, perform multi-point inspection and the maintenance
outlined in the 150,000 mile (240,000 km) normal maintenance schedule
of thescheduled maintenance informationafter track use. Refer to
the vehicle service manual for removal and installation procedures.
Replace with Genuine Ford and Motorcraftservice parts as needed.
These modifications may not necessarily protect your engine from
damage in competition conditions. Subjecting your vehicle to competition
conditions even with these proposed modifications may render repairs
non-reimbursable under the warranty.
