2006 FORD GT brake

Upshift according to the following chart:
Upshifts when accelerating (recommended for best fueleconomy)
Shift from:
1 - 2 15 mph (24 km/h)
2 - 3 25 mph (40 km/h)
3 - 4 40 mph (64 km/h)
4 - 5 45 mph (72 km/h)
5 - 6 50 mph (80 km/h)
Reverse
1. Make sure that your vehicle is at a complete stop before you shift into
R (Reverse). Failure to do so may damage the transmission.
2. Move the gearshift lever into the neutral position and wait at least
three seconds before shifting into R (Reverse).
3. Shift into R (Reverse) by pulling the gearshift lever fully to the left
through the detent, then forward. The detent force is high to prevent
inadvertently shifting into R (Reverse).
Parking your vehicle
1. Apply the brake and shift into the neutral position.
2. Fully apply the parking brake, then shift into 1 (First).
3. Turn the ignition off.
Do not park your vehicle in Neutral, it may move unexpectedly
and injure someone. Use 1 (First) gear and set the parking brake
fully.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Do not drive quickly through standing water, especially if the depth is
unknown. Traction or brake capability may be limited and if the ignition
system gets wet, your engine may stall. Water may also enter your
engine’s air intake and severely damage your engine.
If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very
slowly. Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the
hubs (for trucks) or the bottom of the wheel rims (for cars).

Once through the water, always try the brakes. Wet brakes do not stop
the vehicle as effectively as dry brakes. Drying can be improved by
moving your vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake
pedal.
GROUND CLEARANCE
Note:Because of low vehicle ground clearance, use caution when
approaching curbs/curb stops from front and rear — vehicle damage
could occur.

liner in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.
Always disconnect the battery before servicing high current
fuses.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, always replace the cover to
the Power Distribution Box before reconnecting the battery or
refilling fluid reservoirs.

JUMP STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
The gases around the battery can explode if exposed to flames,
sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in injury or
vehicle damage.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin, eyes and
clothing, if contacted.
Note: The luggage compartment liner must be removed to access the
battery for jump starting. Refer to Removing the luggage compartment
liner in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.
Preparing your vehicle
1. Use only a 12–volt supply to start your vehicle.
2. Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
3. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle
making sure the two vehicles do nottouch. Set the parking brake on
both vehicles and stay clear of the engine cooling fan and other moving
parts.
4. Check all battery terminals and remove any excessive corrosion before
you attach the battery cables. Ensure the vent caps are tight and level.
5. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect any electrical
surges. Turn all other accessories off.

5. Transport the vehicle with the parking brake OFF and the
transmission in NEUTRAL.
6. Secure the vehicle with wheel basket tie-downs to the flatbed deck.
Note:Inspect tie-downs periodically for tightness. Never fasten J-hooks
to any suspension wheel or driveline component because J-hooks will
damage these components.
Note: If you have this vehicle transported by either air, water, or rail,
follow the wheel tie-down procedure starting with Step 5.
TOW HOOK
Your vehicle is equipped with a tow
hook located in the tire inflation kit
in the luggage compartment.
The tow hook should be threaded
into the hole provided in the front
grill area as shown. Note: This is a
left-handed thread.
