oil temperature FORD MUSTANG 2022 Owners Manual

Thanks to a popular mix of appearance,
features and power, the 1969-73 Mach 1's
proved to be everyman's muscle car, and
have earned a respected place in Mustang
performance lore. Beyond those classic
years, the Mach 1 carried over for all five
years of the often overlooked 1974-78's
before a hiatus that ended with the
modern and muscular 2003-04's. Mach
1’
s return to the Mustang lineup for 2021
will add a new chapter on modern-day
muscle for this beloved model, and will
cement its rightful place near the very top
of Mustang performance history.

Rear Gurney Flap The rear Gurney flap must be removed
for on-road driving.
Your vehicle may include a removable
Gurney flap in the luggage compartment.
The Gurney flap greatly enhances high
speed stability and performance on the
track. It is recommended that you use the
Gurney flap at all tracks featuring high
speed corners and can be used at any track
regardless of cornering speeds.
You could benefit from the removal Gurney
flap to improve low speed balance on
smaller tracks with maximum cornering
speeds below

the Gurney flap attached or damage to
the spoiler may occur.
Brake Burnishing
The brakes should be properly burnished
prior to heavy track use. Excessive brake
noise may occur after the track burnish or
track use. Perform this procedure in a safe
manner on dry pavement, and in
compliance with all local and state
ordinances and laws regarding motor
vehicle operation. How to Burnish the Brakes
Initial low temperature bedding:
•
If your brakes already have 200 mi
(322 km) or more of city driving, skip
this step and go directly to the high
temperature bedding cycle procedure.
Otherwise, perform at least 30 stops
from
50 mph (80 km/h) at 1/3 g
deceleration with 1 mi (1.2 km) spacing
between stops. A deceleration gauge
can be accessed through the
TrackApps menu in your information
display.
High temperature bedding cycle:
• Beginning with cool brakes, perform 15
consecutive stops back to back,
accelerating at 3/4 throttle to
80 mph
(128 km/h) and braking to 20 mph
(32 km/h) at 1.0 g deceleration. The
brakes may omit an odor or smoke
during this part of the procedure.
Cool down:
• Cool the brakes down by driving one or
two laps, 5 mi (8 km)
, at 60 mph
(96 km/h) with minimal to no brake
usage.
Recovery low temperature bedding:
• Perform at least 30 stops from 50 mph
(80 km/h)
at 1/3 g deceleration with
0.7 mi (1.2 km) spacing between stops.
A deceleration gauge can be accessed
through the TrackApps menu in your
information display.

CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL AND INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER LENS
WARNING: Do not use chemical
solvents or strong detergents when
cleaning the steering wheel or
instrument panel to avoid contamination
of the airbag system.
Note: Follow the same procedure as
cleaning leather seats for cleaning leather
instrument panels and leather interior trim
surfaces. See
Cleaning Leather Seats
(page 298).
Clean the instrument panel and cluster
lens with a clean, damp and soft cloth,
then use a clean, dry and soft cloth to dry
these areas.
• Avoid cleaners or polishes that increase
the gloss of the upper portion of the
instrument panel. The dull finish in this
area helps protect you from
undesirable windshield reflection.
• Do not use any household cleaning
products or glass cleaners as these
may damage the finish of the
instrument panel, interior trim and
cluster lens.
• Wash or wipe your hands clean if you
have been in contact with certain
products such as insect repellent and
suntan lotion to avoid possible damage
to the interior painted surfaces.
• Do not allow air fresheners and hand
sanitizers to spill onto interior surfaces.
If a spill occurs, wipe off immediately.
Your warranty may not cover these
damages.
If a staining liquid like coffee or juice has
been spilled on the instrument panel or on
interior trim surfaces: 1. Wipe up spilled liquid using a clean,
soft cloth as quickly as possible.
2. Use Motorcraft Premium Leather and Vinyl Cleaner or a commercially
available leather cleaning product for
automotive interiors. Test any cleaner
or stain remover on an inconspicuous
area.
3. Alternatively, wipe the surface with a clean, soft cloth and a mild soap and
water solution. Dry the area with a
clean, soft cloth.
4. If necessary, apply more soap and water solution or cleaning product to
a clean, soft cloth and press it onto the
soiled area. Allow this to set at room
temperature for 30 minutes.
5. Remove the soaked cloth, then with a clean, damp cloth, use a rubbing
motion for 60 seconds on the soiled
area.
6. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
(IF
EQUIPPED)
Note: Follow the same procedure as
cleaning leather seats for cleaning leather
instrument panels and leather interior trim
surfaces.
For routine cleaning, wipe the surface with
a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap and
water solution. Dry the area with a clean,
soft cloth.
For cleaning and removing stains such as
dye transfer, use Motorcraft Premium
Leather and Vinyl Cleaner or a
commercially available leather cleaning
product for automotive interiors.
Note: Test any cleaner or stain remover on
an inconspicuous area.
