SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991. SVT was
commissioned to create factory-produced driver's cars and trucks;
vehicles that possess a balance between engine and chassis, roadholding
and a supple ride, refinement and performance capability. These qualities
are the core of the SVT product development philosophy.
To support SVT, Ford Motor Company created a dedicated product
development group, Ford Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE). The
nucleus of the Ford SVT and SVE is a small, cross-functional group of
engineers, product planners, and marketing people who meet on a
weekly basis to ensure SVT vehicles and their mission remain focused. In
addition to Ford SVE, SVT draws heavily on the talents and knowledge
of other driving enthusiasts at Ford who work in the key disciplines of
design, product development, manufacturing, and marketing. The heart
of the SVT philosophy is a deep commitment to skillful and enthusiastic
driving. The ultimate goal of everyone at SVT and SVE is to create
vehicles that speak to the needs and desires of the knowledgeable
driving enthusiast.
Introduction
2

Every SVT vehicle produced has been designed and developed with four
key virtues in mind: Performance, Substance, Exclusivity, and Value.
These hallmarks have driven the SVT Mustang Cobra since 1993, the
original SVT Lightning from 1993 to 1995, the SVT Contour introduced
in early 1997 as a 1998 model, and the 1999±2002 SVT F-150 Lightning.
In October 2001, Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) was renamed Special
Vehicle Team/Engineering (SVT/Engineering).

OCTANE RECOMMENDATIONS
Your vehicle is designed to use
ªPremiumº unleaded gasoline with
an (R+M)/2 octane rating of 91 or
higher for optimum performance.
The use of gasolines with lower
octane ratings may degrade performance. We do not recommend the use
of gasolines labeled as ªPremiumº in high altitude areas that are sold
with octane ratings of less than 91.
If your engine knocks under any driving conditions while you are using
fuel with the recommended octane rating, see your dealer or a qualified
service technician to prevent any engine damage.
WHEELS AND TIRES
Tires295/45 ZR 18 BSW tires
WheelsSVT-Signature style, 18 in x 9.5 in aluminum
5-spoke wheels
TIRE ROTATION
Because your vehicle's tires perform
different jobs, they often wear
differently. To make sure your tires
wear evenly and last longer, rotate
them as indicated in the scheduled
maintenance guide. If you notice
that the tires wear unevenly, have
them checked.
SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL
Your vehicle is equipped a 235/70R-16 spare tire on a steel wheel rim.
This is for temporary use only. Replace this spare tire with a repaired
road tire as soon as possible.
