4. Move the gearshift lever to first gear, then slowly release the clutch
pedal while slowly pressing on the accelerator.
Note:During each shift, the clutch pedal must be fully pressed to the
floor and the accelerator fully released. Failure to follow this may cause
increased shift efforts, prematurely wear transmission components, or
cause gear clash or damage to the transmission. Make sure the floor mat
is properly positioned so it doesn’t interfere with the full extension of the
clutch pedal.
Note:If you attempt to shift when the drive wheels are spinning with a
loss of traction, it is possible to cause damage to the transmission. Do
not attempt to shift when the drive wheels do not have traction.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use the clutch
pedal to hold your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill. These
actions will reduce the life of the clutch.
Your vehicle is equipped with a twin disc clutch. Due to the high
performance of the powertrain, a certain amount of noise from the
transmission is normal.
Clutch Protection
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic powertrain feature to reduce
clutch damage. When excessive clutch slip is detected at a high power
level, the powertrain control module will limit torque to reduce damage
to the clutch. Full power is restored as soon as the clutch is fully
engaged. This feature is calibrated in a way that does not interfere with
normal driving and does not impede maximum acceleration capability.

STEERING
Your vehicle is equipped with an electric power-assisted steering system.
The system’s settings are tuned by SVT and integrated with the vehicle
dynamics.
Press the right button to select the
damper setting or through the
information display. SeeInformation
Displaysin theOwner’s Manualfor
more information.
•STANDARD: Default factory setting.
•SPORT: Slightly higher effort required for steering with more road
force felt through the steering wheel.
•COMFORT: Slightly less effort required for steering with less road
force felt through the steering wheel.
After selecting the desired setting, you may feel a soft feedback bump in
the steering wheel when the changeover occurs.
Note:If the battery is disconnected or removed, the steering setting will
default to STANDARD.
Note:If the AdvanceTrac system is in SPORT mode or OFF, the steering
will default to SPORT.
See theInformation Displayschapter in the Owner’s Manual.
ENGINE OVER-REV
Note:Engine torque and maximum rpm are limited until coolant
temperature reaches 170°F (77°C). Warm up is indicated when the redline
indicator band starting point changes from 6250 rpm to 7000 rpm.
Your vehicle is equipped with an over-rev feature to increase the
performance range of your Shelby GT500. When conditions permit,
over-rev is indicated on the tachometer with redline marked at 7000 rpm.
If conditions limit over-rev accessibility, the band is illuminated red from
6250 rpm to 7000 rpm.

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, or by using a touchless commercial wash with
no mechanical tracks on the floor. Do not use a commercial or high
pressure wand on the striped surfaces.
•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.
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.
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.).
