Articles stored in the convertible top stowage compartment may break the rear glass window when the top is lowered. The convertible top can be lowered with the side windows down. The windows automatically lower when lowering or raising the top. Do not lower the top when the top material is wet. Note: The convertible top will not operate unless the vehicle is traveling under 3 mph (5 km/h). To lower the convertible top 1 Stop the vehicle completely. Turn the key to the on position. It is recommended that the engine is running to prevent draining the battery. 2 Ensure the convertible top stowage compartment behind the rear seat is empty and ready to receive the top. Check the convertible top outer surface to ensure it is free of leaves and debris. 3 Unclamp the top from the windshield header at both the right and left sides by pulling each handle down and rearward until the handle clears the windshield header. Note: If the top has not been lowered for a while and sticks to the windshield header, push the front of the top up slightly with your hand to loosen it. 4 Push the convertible top switch on the overhead console and hold until the windows are completely down and the top is completely stored.

The horn will chirp and the turn lamps will flash. With this system, you simply open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and begin fueling. It is self sealing and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. With the Easy FuelTM system, wait five seconds from the time the refueling nozzle is shut-off until the nozzle is pulled back out of the fill pipe to allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank. To use a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (located with the tire changing tools or the temporary mobility kit), and pour the fuel into the funnel. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized dealer. Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel™ system and may cause damage. Tire Pressure Check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips (including spare, if equipped). The recommended specifications are on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver's door. As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates when one or more of your tires are significantly under-inflated. If the low tire pressure warning light remains on at start up or while driving, stop and check your tires as soon as possible and ensure that they are inflated to the proper pressure. If the light flashes for approximately one minute and then remains on, a malfunction has been detected in the TPMS system. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible for service. For more information on TPMS, refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter in your Owner's Guide. Rear Seats/Head Restraints Your vehicle is equipped with second row outboard non-adjustable head restraints. The head restraints can be rotated forward to improve rear vision when there are no rear occupants. Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel info Your fuel tank capacity is 16.0 gallons (60.6L). Your vehicle is designed to use "Regular" unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87. Do not use E85 fuels because your vehicle was not designed to run on fuels with more than 10% ethanol. 2011 Quick Reference Guide Console lock Accessing and adjusting Gauge color, Ambient color, Halo Color and MyColor® (if equipped) Your Mustang may be equipped with a very unique message center which allows you to select specific colors to backlight your gauges (Gauge color) the area around your gauges (Halo color) as well as selecting ambient lighting options to appear in the footwell areas, cupholders and console bin (Ambient color).

To set MyColor®, press SETUP repeatedly until the desired category for which you want to create a unique color appears (Gauge color, Ambient color or Halo color). Press RESET until MyColor® appears in the display. Then, press and hold RESET for three seconds. Now, press SETUP repeatedly to scroll through Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B) and Exit. When the desired color is in the display, press RESET to adjust the level of color. Press SETUP again to mix with any other colors. For added security, you can lock/unlock your center console using your ignition key. After unlocking, press the latch to open. Location of Spare Tire and Tools Your vehicle is either equipped with a temporary spare tire or a temporary mobility kit, both of which are located in the trunk. The kit contains an air compressor to re-inflate the tire and a sealing compound that will seal most punctures caused by nails or similar objects. Do not attempt to repair large punctures or damage to the tire's sidewall. The mobility kit provides a temporary seal allowing you to drive up to 120 miles at a maximum speed of 50 mph. After sealant use, the TPMS sensor and valve stem on the wheel must be replaced by an authorized Ford dealer. Note: The sealant in the canister is to be used for one tire only. See your authorized dealer for replacement canisters. For complete information refer to your Owner's Guide. Convertible auxiliary trunk release (if equipped) Convertible vehicles have an auxiliary trunk release located between the seat cushions on the driver side rear seat. In the event of a battery failure, you can open the trunk by inserting and turning your key. Refer to your Owner's Guide for more information.
