FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCHThis device stops the electric fuel pump from
sending fuel to the engine when your vehicle has had a
substantial jolt. After an accident, if the engine

activated. The fuel pump shut-off switch is located in

tire, which is smaller than a regular tire and designed
for emergency use only. The jack, spare tire, jack handle
and the lug nut wrench are located in the wheel well

TIRE PRESSURESafe operation of your Mustang requires your tires be
properly inflated. The Ford recommended inflation
pressure is found on the Tire Label or the Safety Compliance Certification Label on the edge of the

driver’s door. At least once a month and before long
trips, inspect each tire and check the air pressure
with a digital or dial-type tire gauge. Don’t forget
the spare. Air pressure should be checked when the
tires are cold. Inflate all tires to the inflation pressure
recommended by Ford Motor Company.
