SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991 to “Polish
the Ford Oval” by creating low-volume, factory-produced vehicles
designed for those select few whose idea of driving is a high-powered,
passionate experience — not just a means of getting from point A to
point B.
In a move to support this spirited enthusiasm, Ford Motor Company
carefully integrated the wide array of talent in the company into a small,
cross-functional group of engineers, product planners and marketing
people, housed together under one roof with a common mission: to
create vehicles specifically designed to meet the unique needs and
desires of the knowledgeable driving enthusiast.
Each of nearly 150,000 SVT vehicles produced since the 1993 model year
has been designed and developed with the four SVT Hallmarks in mind:
Performance, Substance, Exclusivity and Value. These hallmarks have
driven the SVT Mustang Cobra and the Cobra R, the SVT F-150
Lightning, the SVT Contour, the SVT Focus, and now the Shelby GT500.
We are proud and passionate about what we do, and we’re glad you have
made us your choice.

Message Center
The following are possible messages you may see in your Shelby GT500
Message Center:

: Displayed when the Traction
Control
system is not operating properly. If this message is displayed
on the message center, the Traction Control

operable. If this warning stays on, contact your dealer for service as soon
as possible. For further information, refer toTraction Control
in the
Drivingchapter in yourOwner’s Guide.
TRACTION CONTROL
ACTIVE:Displayed when the Traction
Control
system is active. For further information, refer toTraction
Control
in theDrivingchapter in yourOwner’s Guide.
Note:When traction control is turned off, it is possible to lose traction.
If you attempt to shift with the rear wheels spinning with a loss of
traction, it is possible to cause damage to the transmission. Do not
attempt to shift when the rear wheels do not have traction. Damage
caused by misuse of the vehicle is not covered.
ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE:Displayed when the engine has defaulted
to a ’limp-home’ operation. If the warning stays on or continues to come
on, contact your dealer as soon as possible.
Unique instrument cluster lighting

In place of ORANGE, you can select R-W-B which will illuminate the
speedometer in RED, the Fuel/Boost/Temp/Oil Pressure gauges in
WHITE and the tachometer in BLUE. (Pointer colors are not adjustable).
The instrument cluster will momentarily display the R-W-B coloring when
the ignition is turned to ON or START and will then return to the
previously chosen color.
For instructions on how to set the instrument cluster display color or

ALTERNATE CALIBRATION
Your 2007 Shelby GT500 Power Train Control Module (PCM) strategy
contains a feature to limit supercharger boost pressure and engine speed
to 4000 RPM for the first five consecutive miles of vehicle operation or
50 engine start / warm up cycles. This feature is enabled prior to
shipment. If neither of these conditions have been satisfied prior to
customer delivery, full power will not be available.
MANUAL 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION OPERATION
Using the clutch
The manual transmission has a starter interlock that prevents cranking
the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
To start the vehicle:
1. Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then put the gearshift lever in the
neutral position.
3. Start the engine, then press the brake pedal and release the parking
brake.
4. Move the gearshift lever to 1st gear, then slowly release the clutch
pedal while slowly pressing on the accelerator.
During each shift, the clutch pedal must be fully depressed to the floor.
Failure to fully depress the clutch pedal to the floor may cause increased
shift efforts, prematurely wear transmission components or damage the
transmission. Make sure the floor mat is properly positioned so it doesn’t
interfere with the full extension of the clutch pedal.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use the clutch
pedal to hold your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill. These
actions will reduce the life of the clutch.
Due to the high performance of the powertrain, a certain amount of
noise from the transmission is normal. This noise will be most noticeable
when the vehicle is idling in neutral with the clutch pedal out but can
also occur when driving away from a stop.

•Drive carefully and avoid abrupt steering maneuvers.
•Periodically monitor tire inflation pressure in the affected tire; if the
tire is losing pressure, have the vehicle towed.
•Read the information in theTips for use of the temporary mobility
kitsection to ensure safe operation of the temporary mobility kit and
your vehicle.
Tips for use of the temporary mobility kit
Read the following list of tips to ensure safe operation of the temporary
mobility kit:
•Before operating the temporary mobility kit, make sure your vehicle is
safely off the road and away from moving traffic.
•Always set the parking brake to ensure the vehicle doesn’t move
unexpectedly.
•Do not remove any foreign objects, such as nails or screws, from the
tire.
•When using the temporary mobility kit, leave the engine running
(only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area)so
the compressor doesn’t drain the vehicle’s battery.
•Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than
10 minutes; this will help prevent the compressor from overheating.
•Never leave the temporary mobility kit unattended when it is
operating.
•Keep the temporary mobility kit away from children.
•Only use the temporary mobility kit when the ambient temperature is
above –20°F (-29°C).
•Only use the temporary mobility kit for sealing/inflating the tires on
your vehicle. Do not use the kit for inflating tires on motorcycles,
bicycles or any other type of tire.
•Only use the sealing compound before the expiration date. The
expiration date is labeled on the unit.
•Do not store the temporary mobility kit inside the passenger
compartment of the vehicle as it may cause injury during a sudden
stop or collision. Store the kit in its proper location.

4. Loosen the safety latch (4) on
the sealing compound container (5)
and rotate the container until it is
upright and clicks into place.
5. Peel the speed limit sticker (6)
off the side of the container and
affix it to the center of the steering
wheel or the instrument panel so it
can be seen in plain view.
6. Start the engine(only if the
vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area)to prevent
the vehicle’s battery from draining.
Do not start your vehicle in
a closed garage or in other
enclosed areas. The carbon
monoxide in exhaust fumes can be
toxic. Always open the garage
door before you start the engine.
7. Turn the air compressor on by
pressing the “I” side of the orange
button.
