Message Center
The following are possible messages you may see in your Shelby GT500
Message Center:
CHECK TRACTION CONTROL
: Displayed when the Traction
Control
system is not operating properly. If this message is displayed
on the message center, the Traction Control
system will be partially
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
Your vehicle is equipped with a unique instrument cluster color display.
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
MyColor
, refer toMessage Center — Display Colorin theDriver
Controlschapter in theOwner’s Guide.

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.
