WINTER DRIVING
For winter driving, it is recommended to install
radial winter tires.
Winter tires are designed to improve traction in
adverse winter weather conditions.
Note:Use of tire cable/chains are restricted on this
vehicle due to the potential damage to body and/or
suspension components.
Maintenance
21

In the event the vehicle is intended for track use,
and the loss of warranty coverage is not of concern,
the following modifications are recommended:
•install front and rear racing compound brake pads
(Ford Racing Performance part #M-2001–A).
•Install rear differential cooler (Ford Racing
Performance Part #M-4000–K). Permanent
damage to the rear differential will result if the
vehicle is subjected to competition conditions
without installation of a differential cooler.
Making these noted modifications and subjecting
your SVT Mustang Cobra to competition conditions
will render repairs non-reimbursable under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
