BREAKING-IN
Your vehicle requires a break-in period. For
the first 1,000 mi (1,600 km), avoid driving
at high speeds, heavy braking, aggressive
shifting or using your vehicle to tow. During
this time, your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics.
Ground Clearance
Since ground clearance is reduced, use
caution when approaching curbs or curb
stops from the front and rear as vehicle
damage may occur. Additionally, when
crossing speed bumps or driveway curbs,
you should approach at a 45 degree angle
to reduce the risk of vehicle damage.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Your vehicle has aerodynamic devices
attached to the underbody designed to
help control airflow for superior
performance. Therefore, the driver must
be especially careful to avoid driving
through deep or standing water. If driving
through deep or standing water is
unavoidable, do not exceed 10 mph
(16 km/h). Never drive through water that
is higher than the bottom of the wheel
rims. Water may enter through the air
intake due to the vacuum generated in the
engine. Your vehicle warranty does not
cover damage caused by the intake of
water into the engine.

the max mark on the engine oil dipstick.
See
Engine Oil Check (page 38).
• Replace the brake fluid with fresh
Motorcraft/Ford DOT 4 LV High
Performance Brake Fluid or other DOT
compliant fluid with a dry boiling point
greater than
500°F (260°C) from a
sealed container. Do not use silicone
or DOT 5 brake fluids.
• If you are operating your Mach 1 on a
drag strip, use drag strip selectable
drive mode in addition to using line lock
and launch control to provide a specific
set-up tuned for the quickest straight
line elapsed times.
• If you are operating your Mach 1 on a
road course, use sport or track
selectable drive modes to provide a
specific set-up tuned for optimal shift
and suspension set-up that is tuned
towards handling prowess on closed
course surfaces. After operating your vehicle at high speeds
or track day driving, do the following:
•
Set the tire pressure to the proper
specification.
• Check and set the lug nut torque. See
Wheels
(page 52).
• Check all fluid levels.
• Refer to the track maintenance interval
chart. See
Normal Scheduled
Maintenance (page 70).
• Check the front and rear wheel
bearings for abnormal wear.
• Inspect brake caliper dust boots for
abnormal wear.

WHEELS
Your vehicle has 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 (see Tires
in this supplement).
• 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.
Use Motorcraft™ Wheel and Tire Cleaner
to maintain your wheels. See your Owner ’s
Manual for information on other cleaning
products and vehicle care. Wheel Lug Nut Torque
Specifications WARNING: When you install a
wheel, 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 to secure any fasteners that attach
the rotor to the hub 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 your vehicle is in motion,
resulting in loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified
torque at
500 mi (800 km) after any
wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing
a flat tire or wheel removal). lb-ft (Nm)*
Bolt Size
150 ± 15 (200 ± 20)
M14 x 1.5
*Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only Ford
recommended replacement fasteners.
TIRES WARNING:
Only use replacement
tires and wheels that are the same size,
load index, speed rating and type (such
as P-metric versus LT-metric or
all-season versus all-terrain) as those
originally provided by Ford. The
recommended tire and wheel size may
be found on either the Safety
Compliance Certification Label (affixed to either the door hinge pillar, door-latch
post, or the door edge that meets the
door-latch post, next to the driver's
seating position), or the Tire Label which
is located on the B-Pillar or edge of the
driver's door. If this information is not
found on these labels, then you should
contact your authorized dealer as soon
52

as possible. Use of any tire or wheel not
recommended by Ford can affect the
safety and performance of your vehicle,
which could result in an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death.
Note: Do not use tire chains on your vehicle.
The use of any type of tire chain on these
tires could damage your vehicle. Your vehicle comes with low profile, high
performance tires designed to optimize
the driving dynamics you expect in a Ford
Performance vehicle. These tires are not
optimized for off-road or winter, snow or
cold weather, performance, and their ride,
noise and wear characteristics are different
than non-performance tires. Also, because
of their lower profile, the tires are more
susceptible to damage due to potholes
and rough roads. Wheels (Inches)

Note: For the base five-star wheel, you can
identify the correct wheel size by checking
behind the wheel spokes. To make sure that your tires perform as
intended, it is important that you maintain
your tires properly:
•
We optimize your original equipment
tires for performance in both wet and
dry conditions. We do not recommend
using the original equipment tires when
temperatures drop to about 45°F (7°C)
or below, depending on tire wear and
environmental conditions, or in snow
and ice conditions.
• We design the tires for track use. They
may exhibit significantly reduced tread
life and increased tire noise compared
to the standard equipment tires under
normal driving conditions. Increasing
the front camber settings beyond the
factory settings may further accelerate
tread wear and induce tire noise.
• For tire pressures, see the placard on
the B-pillar inside the driver door.
• Always maintain your tire pressures
according to the tire information
placard on the driver door jamb, using
an accurate gauge.
• Check your tire pressures cold, after
you park the vehicle for at least three
hours. Do not reduce pressure of warm
tires.
• Check your tire pressure often to
maintain it properly. Tire pressure can
diminish over time and fluctuate with
temperature.
• Do not overload your vehicle. We list
maximum vehicle and axle weights on
the tire information placard.
• Take extra caution when operating the
vehicle near its maximum load,
including assuring proper tire pressure
and reducing speeds.
• Take extra caution when operating on
rough roads to avoid impacts that
could cause tire damage.
• If you encounter an abnormally harsh
impact, inspect your tires for damage.
54

•
Inspect your tires for damage on a
regular basis. If a tire is damaged,
replace it immediately.
• Proper suspension alignment is critical
for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven
tire wear, check your alignment.
• When replacing tires, the only way to
maintain original performance is to use
the original equipment tire. If you use
a different tire, use the same size,
speed rating and load rating and
replace as a set of four. Never mix tire
brands.
• Rotate tires as recommended in the
tire rotation information. Your vehicle
has a staggered tire configuration.
Rotate the tires from side to side only,
not from front to back. See your
owner's manual for more information. USING WINTER TIRES
The original equipment tires on your vehicle
are designed to optimize its performance
in dry or wet summer road conditions.
They are not optimized for off-road or
winter performance and you must not use
them with snow chains. The use of any
type of snow chains with the original equipment wheels and tires of your vehicle
may cause damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty. We do not recommend
using the original equipment tires when
temperatures drop below 45°F (7°C) or in
snow and ice conditions.
Note:
We recommend that you use winter
or all-season tires when temperatures drop
below 45°F (7°C) or in snow and ice
conditions.
• Use winter tires with the same load
index as the summer tires originally
equipped with your vehicle.
• If you fit winter tires with a speed rating
less than the original equipment tires,
do not exceed the maximum speed
rating for the tire. Do not operate your
vehicle above posted speed limits
while using winter tires. Never perform
high speed driving with winter tires.
