2002 FORD MUSTANG load capacity

If sound skips:
²You may be traveling on a rough road, playing
badly scratched discs or the disc may be dirty.
Skipping will not scratch the discs or damage the
player.
If your changer does not work, it may be that:
²A disc is already loaded where you want to insert
a disc.
²The disc is inserted with the label surface
downward.
²The disc is dusty or defective.
²The player's internal temperature is above 60ÉC
(140ÉF). Allow the player to cool down before
operating.
²A disc with format and dimensions not within
industry standards is inserted.
MP3 DISC QUALITY FACTORS
The MACHtMP3 music system is designed for use
with CD-DA (regular audio discs), CD-R and CD-RW
discs. Discs must comply with ISO 9660 and Joliet
standards.
Several factors can effect disc playback quality:
²Disc capacity Ð Each disc contains about 650 MB
of storage capacity. We do not recommend using
high capacity discs containing 700MB of storage.
²Disc type Ð Some CD-RW discs may operate
inconsistently and may cause an error message to
appear. We recommend burning MP3 files onto
CD-R discs.
²Disc finalization Ð The disc may be left open for
the purpose of adding sessions to it at a later
time, but be sure to close each session or the disc
will not play.
²Bit rate Ð The player supports bit rates from
56±320 kbps, as well as variable bit rate MP3 files,
but lower bit rates will have a noticeable effect on

²GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating):
Maximum permissable total weight of the base
vehicle, occupants, optional equipment and cargo.
The GVWR is specific to each vehicle and is listed
on the Safety Certification Label on the driver's
door pillar.
²GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating):Carrying
capacity for each axle system. The GAWR is
specific to each vehicle and is listed on the Safety
Certification Label on the driver's door pillar.
²GCW (Gross Combined Weight):The
combined weight of the towing vehicle (including
occupants and cargo) and the loaded trailer.
²GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating):
Maximum permissable combined weight of towing
vehicle (including occupants and cargo) and the
loaded trailer
²Maximum Trailer Weight Rating:Maximum
weight of a trailer the vehicle is permitted to tow.
The maximum trailer weight rating is determined
by subtracting the vehicle curb weight for each
engine/transmission combination, any required
option weight for trailer towing and the weight of
the driver from the GCWR for the towing vehicle.
²Maximum Trailer Weight:Maximum weight of a
trailer the loaded vehicle (including occupants
and cargo) is permitted to tow. It is determined
by subtracting the weight of the loaded trailer
towing vehicle from the GCWR for the towing
vehicle.
²Trailer Weight Range:Specified weight range
that the trailer must fall within that ranges from
zero to the maximum trailer weight rating.
Remember to figure in the tongue load of your
loaded trailer when figuring the total weight.
Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR
specified on the certification label.

Do not use replacement tires with lower load
carrying capacities than the originals because they
may lower the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR
limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit
than the originals do not increase the GVWR and
GAWR limitations.
The Safety Certification Label, found on the driver's
door pillar, lists several important vehicle weight
rating limitations. Before adding any additional
equipment, refer to these limitations. If you are
adding weight to the front of your vehicle,
(potentially including weight added to the cab), the
weight added should not exceed the front axle
reserve capacity (FARC). Additional frontal weight
may be added to the front axle reserve capacity
provided you limit your payload in other ways (i.e.
restrict the number of occupants or amount of cargo
carried).
Always ensure that the weight of occupants, cargo
and equipment being carried is within the weight
limitations that have been established for your
vehicle including both gross vehicle weight and front
and rear gross axle weight rating limits. Under no
circumstance should these limitations be exceeded.
Exceeding any vehicle weight rating
limitation could result in serious damage to
the vehicle and/or personal injury.

The advertised capacity is the amount of the
indicated capacity and the empty reserve combined.
Indicated capacity is the difference in the amount of
fuel in a full tank and a tank when the fuel gauge
indicates empty. Empty reserve is the small amount
of fuel remaining in the fuel tank after the fuel
gauge indicates empty.
The amount of usable fuel in the empty reserve
varies and should not be relied upon to
increase driving range. When refueling your
vehicle after the fuel gauge indicates empty,
you might not be able to refuel the full amount
of the advertised capacity of the fuel tank due
to the empty reserve still present in the tank.
For consistent results when filling the fuel tank:
²Turn the engine/ignition switch to the off position
prior to refueling, an error in the reading will
result if the engine is left running.
²Use the same filling rate setting (low Ð medium
Ð high) each time the tank is filled.
²Allow no more than 2 automatic click-offs when
filling.
²Always use fuel with the recommended octane
rating.
²Use a known quality gasoline, preferably a
national brand.
²Use the same side of the same pump and have
the vehicle facing the same direction each time
you fill up.
²Have the vehicle loading and distribution the
same every time.
Your results will be most accurate if your filling
method is consistent.

Replacing the tires
Replace the tires when
the wear band is
visible through the tire
treads.
When replacing full size tires, never mix
radial bias-belted, or bias-type tires. Use
only the tire sizes that are listed on the tire
pressure decal. Make sure that all tires are the
same size, speed rating, and load-carrying capacity.
Use only the tire combinations recommended on
the label. If you do not follow these precautions,
your vehicle may not drive properly and safely.
Make sure that all replacement tires are of
the same size, type, load-carrying capacity
and tread design (e.g., ªAll Terrainº, etc.), as
originally offered by Ford.
