Convertible  To p*
Using your convertible top
Do not store articles behind the rear seat. Articles 
stored in the convertible top stowage compartment 
may break the rear glass window when the top is 
lowered. The windows automatically lower when 
lowering or raising the top. Do not lower the top when 
the top material is wet. Remove any leaves or debris 
on the outer surface of the top. The convertible top 
will not operate unless the vehicle is stationary or 
traveling under 3 mph (5 km/h).
Opening the convertible top
Note: Your ignition must be on to open the top. It is 
recommended that your engine is running to prevent   
draining the battery.
To open the top:
1.   Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. 
2.  Unclamp the latches located where the top meets 
the windshield header. To do this, pull down the 
latch handles and rotate them rearward until the 
latches clear the windshield header. 
3.  Press and hold the convertible top control   
on the overhead console until the windows come 
all the way down and the top is completely stored. 
Using the convertible top boot*
Make sure the boot is always fully secured before 
driving. Improper installation of the boot can result 
in the loss or damage of the boot. For information 
on installing the boot, removing the boot, and 
storing the boot, see the Using the Boot section of 
your  Owner’s Manual.
Closing the convertible top
Note:  The ignition must be on to close the top. It is 
recommended that your engine is running to prevent 
draining the battery. 
To close the top:
1.   Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2.  Press and hold the convertible top control. The 
windows will lower completely. The top will 
unfold and move forward until it is completely 
flush with the windshield header.
Note: Make sure that the latch handles are pulled 
down and are in the fully opened position before 
the top makes contact with the windshield header. 
This allows for hand clearance and proper closure 
of the top.
3.  Pull down on the driver’s latch handle and 
rotate it all the way forward into the   
windshield header.
4.  Press the latch handle up into the original   
stowed position.
5.  Pull down on the passenger’s side latch   
handle and rotate it all the way forward into   
the windshield header.
6.  Press the handle up to the original   
stowed position.
7.   close the rear windows before closing the   
front windows.
Note: If the top has been open for an extended period 
of time or if the temperature is low, the top material 
may shrink slightly. If this happens, pull on the latch 
handles or the center grip to fasten to the top.
For more complete information, refer to the

2014 mustang /Quick RefeRence Guide /1 1
Rear Seats/Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with 
second row outboard non-
adjustable head restraints.  
The head restraints can be 
rotated forward to improve 
rear vision when there are no 
rear occupants.
2nd row seat/split-folding rear seats* 
One or both rear seat backs (coupe only) can be 
folded down to provide additional cargo space.  
To lower the seat back(s) from inside the vehicle,

that it has latched.
Pony Projection Lights*
When you open the doors or press the unlock icon 
on the keyfob, the Mustang logo will be projected

Roadside assistance
Your new Ford vehicle comes 
with the assurance and support 
of 24-hour emergency roadside 
assistance. To receive roadside 
assistance in the United States, 
call 1-800-241-3673. In canada, 
call 1 -800-665-2006.
Tire pressure monitoring system 
Your vehicle illuminates a low tire pressure warning light  in your instrument cluster when one or more of your 
tires is significantly under-inflated. If this happens, stop 
and check your tires as soon as possible. Inflate them 
to the proper pressure. Refer to the Inflating Your Tires  
section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s 
Manual for more information.
Cleaning
When washing your vehicle, do not use a commercial or 
high pressure wand to wash striped surfaces. For the best 
results, use Motorcraft
® cleaning products. Wash your 
vehicle regularly with cool or lukewarm water, and use 
a neutral pH shampoo such as Motorcraft Detail Wash. 
For cleaning chrome wheels, use c ustom Bright Metal 
cleaner. Apply the product as you would a wax to clean 
bumpers and other chrome parts; allow the cleaner to   
dry for a few minutes, then wipe off the haze with a   
clean, dry rag.  
Fuel-efficient transmission
Automatic transmission vehicles have been designed 
to improve fuel economy by reducing fuel usage while 
coasting or decelerating. This may be perceived as a 
light to medium braking sensation when removing your 
foot from the accelerator pedal.
Fuel tank capacity/fuel info
Your vehicle has a 16 gallon (60.6L) fuel tank capacity. 
Use only “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an octane 
rating of 87 or higher. Do not use E85 fuels because 
your vehicle was not designed to run on fuels with 
more than 15% ethanol.
Note: For all V8 engines, premium fuel is recommended. 
Shelby Mustang vehicles require premium fuel. See the 
respective supplements for more fuel information on 
these vehicles. 
SOS Post-Crash Alert System™
Provides audible and visual alarms when a crash 
causes the deployment of airbags or the activation 
of the safety belt pretensioners. The turn signals will 
flash and the horn will sound. To deactivate, press the 
hazard flasher control, or the panic button 
 on your 
remote transmitter. 
12/
2014 mustang /Quick RefeRence Guide
Easy Fuel® System
With this system, you simply open the fuel door, insert the 
nozzle and begin fueling. It is self-sealing and therefore 
protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. Wait 
five seconds from the time the refueling nozzle is shut-off 
until you remove the nozzle from the vehicle to allow 
residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank. When 
using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel 
funnel (located in the spare tire compartment), and pour 
the fuel into the funnel. 
Note:  Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not   
work with the Easy Fuel system and may cause damage. 
Properly clean the funnel after each use. 
Location of spare tire and tools
Your vehicle is either equipped with a temporary spare 
tire or a temporary mobility kit, both of which are located 
in the trunk. The mobility kit contains an air compressor 
to re-inflate the tire and a sealing compound that will 
seal most punctures caused by nails or similar objects. 
Do not attempt to repair large punctures or damage to 
the tire’s sidewall. The mobility kit provides a temporary 
seal allowing you to drive up to 120 miles at a maximum 
speed of 50 mph. After sealant use, the TPMS sensor 
and valve stem on the wheel must be replaced by an 
authorized Ford dealer. For vehicles with a spare tire, 
refer to Changing a Road Wheel in the Wheels and Tires  
chapter of your Owner’s Manual.

the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and uses green, yellow and red guides to alert 
you of your proximity to objects. For non-navigation vehicles, the image will 
appear in the rearview mirror.
Reverse sensing system*
This system sounds a warning tone if there is an obstacle near the vehicle’s 
rear bumper when the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and is traveling less than  
3 mph (5 km/h). The warning tone will increase in frequency as the object  
gets closer. 
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is moving. 
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety information, more detail and limitations.
SelectShift Automatic® transmission*
Note:  Manual transmission vehicles are not SelectShift capable.
To enable, move the SelectShift gearshift lever from D (Drive) to S (Sport).  
In (S) Sport Mode, a unique downshift schedule is utilized to keep the  
transmission in lower gears for enhanced performance and more aggressive 
engine braking. When the vehicle is in (S) Sport mode, manual gear 
selection is enabled by using the thumb toggle on the side of the gearshift 
lever. Press (+) to upshift, press (–) to downshift. Return the gearshift lever 
to (D) Drive when manual control is no longer desired.
