DRIVING YOUR SHELBY GT500 THROUGH WATER The Ford Shelby GT500 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, proceed very slowly. 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. Damage caused by the intake of water in the engine is not covered by the warranty. 10 2011 05+ Mustang (197) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)
