Driving your Shelby® GT500® BRAKES Your vehicle is equipped with a brake system designed for high speed and superior fade resistance. You may notice occasional brake squeal and elevated levels of brake dust. This is normal and does not affect brake system performance. Use Motorcraft® Wheel and Tire Cleaner to maintain your wheels. Refer to your Owner's Manual for information on other cleaning products and vehicle care. LAUNCH CONTROL Note: This feature is intended for off road use only where consistent acceleration is desired. It is not intended for cold, wet or slippery conditions. Launch control can be turned on and off with the LC button, or in the Track Apps menu using the 5-way buttons. RPM setpoint can only be changed in the Track Apps menu using the 5-way button. Detailed description of operation modes and recommended usage is outlined in the AdvanceTrac section. Launch control is engineered to be used with the original equipment provided on your GT500. Any modifications to the vehicle may adversely affect the function or performance. The launch control feature is integrated with AdvanceTrac® and the engine controls system to maximize traction from a standing start acceleration in a straight line. It provides a unique drag start traction calibration specifically designed for high grip surfaces. This feature lets you set and hold the desired launch RPM depending on tire temperature, surface condition or weather. To function properly, AdvanceTrac® must be ON or in the SPORT mode. If launch control is ON and traction control is OFF, then the system provides an engine rev control (two-step) only and no traction management. See the AdvanceTrac® section to identify the traction modes and recommended usage. 20 2014 05+ Mustang (197) Supplement, 1st Printing, December 2012 USA (fus)
