HILL START ASSIST
WARNING: The system does notreplace the parking brake. When youleave your vehicle, always apply theparking brake and shift the transmissioninto park (P) for automatic transmissionor first gear for manual transmission.
WARNING: You must remain inyour vehicle when the system turns on.At all times, you are responsible forcontrolling your vehicle, supervising thesystem and intervening, if required.Failure to take care may result in the lossof control of your vehicle, seriouspersonal injury or death.
WARNING: The system will turnoff if a malfunction is apparent. Failureto take care may result in the loss ofcontrol of your vehicle, serious personalinjury or death.
The system makes it easier to pull awaywhen your vehicle is on a slope without theneed to use the parking brake.
When the system activates, your vehicleremains stationary on a slope for a fewseconds after you release the brake pedal.This allows you time to move your footfrom the brake to the accelerator pedal.The brakes release when the engine hasdeveloped sufficient torque to prevent yourvehicle from rolling down the slope. Thisis an advantage when pulling away on aslope, for example from a car park ramp,traffic lights or when reversing uphill intoa parking space.
The system activates on any slope thatcauses your vehicle to roll.
Note: There is no warning lamp to indicatethe system is either on or off.
Using Hill Start Assist
1.Press the brake pedal to bring yourvehicle to a complete standstill. Keepthe brake pedal pressed and shift intofirst gear when facing uphill or reverse(R) when facing downhill.
2.The system activates if the sensorsdetect that your vehicle is on a slope.
3.When you remove your foot from thebrake pedal, your vehicle remains onthe slope without rolling away for a fewseconds. This hold time increases if youare in the process of driving off.
4.Pull away in the normal manner.

TRACK USE - MACH 1
Operating at High Speeds andTrack Days
Your vehicle is capable of sustained highspeeds and track day driving.
Before operating your vehicle at highspeeds:
•Verify your tires have the correctpressures.
•Inspect wheels and tires for wear anddamage. Replace any damaged wheelsand tires.
•Check and set lug nut torque. SeeTechnical Specifications (page 336).
•Verify fluid levels for oil, coolant, brakeand hydraulic fluid. See Capacitiesand Specifications (page 337).
•Change the engine oil and replace theengine oil filter prior to use on the track.Change the engine oil and filter againafter every four hours of track time.Maintain the engine oil level at or nearthe max mark on the engine oil dipstick.See Engine Oil Check (page 262).
•Replace the brake fluid with freshMotorcraft/Ford DOT 4 LV HighPerformance Brake Fluid or other DOTcompliant fluid with a dry boiling pointgreater than 500°F (260°C) from asealed container. Do not use siliconeor DOT 5 brake fluids.
•If you are operating your Mach 1 on adrag strip, use drag strip selectabledrive mode in addition to using line lockand launch control to provide a specificset-up tuned for the quickest straightline elapsed times.
•If you are operating your Mach 1 on aroad course, use sport or trackselectable drive modes to provide aspecific set-up tuned for optimal shiftand suspension set-up that is tunedtowards handling prowess on closedcourse surfaces.
After operating your vehicle at high speedsor track day driving, do the following:
•Set the tire pressure to the properspecification.
•Check and set the lug nut torque. SeeTechnical Specifications (page 336).
•Check all fluid levels.
•Refer to the track maintenance intervalchart. See Normal ScheduledMaintenance (page 452).
•Check the front and rear wheelbearings for abnormal wear.
•Inspect brake caliper dust boots forabnormal wear.

TRACK USE
Appropriately change the engine oil forracing and other track events:
•2.3L: Prior to the track event, drain theengine oil, replace the oil filter andchange the engine oil to 5W-50. Afterthe track event, drain the engine oil,replace the oil filter and refill the engineoil with 5W-30. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 345).
•5.0L: After the track event, drain theengine oil, replace the oil filter and refillthe engine oil. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 345).
Regularly check the engine oil level duringthe event. Maintain the engine oil level ator near the max mark on the engine oildipstick. See Engine Oil Check (page 262).

Vehicles equipped withdifferent size tires on the frontand rear axle
USING SUMMER TIRES
Summer tires provide superiorperformance on wet and dry roads.Summer tires do not have the Mud andSnow (M+S or M/S) tire traction rating onthe tire sidewall. Since summer tires do nothave the same traction performance asAll-season or Snow tires, we do notrecommend using summer tires whentemperatures drop to about 45°F (7°C) orbelow (depending on tire wear andenvironmental conditions) or in snow and
ice conditions. Like any tire, summer tireperformance is affected by tire wear andenvironmental conditions. If you must drivein those conditions, we recommend usingMud and Snow (M+S, M/S), All-season orSnow tires.
Always store your summer tires indoors attemperatures above 19°F (-7°C). Therubber compounds used in these tires loseflexibility and may develop surface cracksin the tread area at temperatures below19°F (-7°C). If the tires have beensubjected to 19°F (-7°C) or less, warmthem in a heated space to at least 41°F(5°C) for at least 24 hours before installingthem on a vehicle, or moving the vehiclewith the tires installed, or checking tireinflation. Do not place tires near heatersor heating devices used to warm the roomwhere the tires are stored. Do not applyheat or blow heated air directly on the tires.Always inspect the tires after storageperiods and before use.
Mach 1 Handling Package (If Equipped)
Wheels
Your vehicle has unique wheels matchedto the tires. These wheels are moresusceptible to damage due to theirdiameter, width, and low profile tires.
To avoid damage to your wheels:
•Maintain proper tire pressure
•When installing wheels, always torquelug nuts to specification with a torquewrench.
•Inspect your wheels for damage on aregular basis. If a wheel is damaged,replace it immediately.
•In the event that you encounter aabnormally harsh impact, inspect theouter diameter of your wheels, bothinside and out, for damage.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING: When you install a wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreignmaterials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheelhub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure to secure any fastenersthat attach the rotor to the hub so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces ofthe wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheelmounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off whileyour vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of vehicle control, personal injury or death.
