FUSES

If your electrical components aren’t working properly,

a fuse may have blown. For more detailed information,

please refer to your Owner’s Guide.

FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH

This device stops the electric fuel pump from

sending fuel to the engine when your vehicle has had a

substantial jolt. After an accident, if the engine

cranks but does not start, this switch may have been

activated. The fuel pump shut-off switch is located in

the driver’s footwell, by the hood release.

CHANGING THE TIRES

Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire,

which is smaller than a regular tire and designed for

emergency use only. The jack, spare tire, jack handle

and the lug nut wrench are located in the wheel well

underneath the trunk ±oor.

TIRE PRESSURE

Safe operation of your Mustang requires your tires

be properly in±ated. The Ford recommended in±ation

pressure is found on the tire label or the certi²cation

label on the driver’s door. At least once a month and

before long trips, inspect each tire and check the air

pressure with a tire gauge. Don’t forget the spare. Air

pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.

In±ate all tires to the in±ation pressure recommended

by Ford Motor Company.

FUEL TANK CAPACITY

Your tank holds 16 gallons (60.6 L) of fuel. For optimum

performance use “Regular” unleaded fuel with a pump

(R+M)/2 octane rating of at least 87.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

In addition to your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Ford

provides new vehicle owners with a complimentary road-

side assistance program. This service is available 24

hours, seven days a week for three years or 36,000 miles

(60,000 km). It covers changing a ±at tire, jump starts,

limited fuel delivery, lockout assistance and towing of

your vehicle.

Open both

handles before the top meets the windshield header.

4

Continue to use the convertible top switch to raise the top

until it has reached the fully closed position ±ush to the header. The two pins under the forward edge of the top should

seat in the matching holes in the header.

To fasten both handles securely, rotate the handles into the header on the

top until they reach full forward and push up to ±ush the handle with the header. Pulling down on the header at the

center grip while closing the handles may assist in fastening the top.
