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 of yourOwner’s Guide.
TRACTION CONTROL™ ACTIVE:Displayed when the Traction
Control™ system is active. For further information, refer toTraction
Control™in theDrivingchapter of 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

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION
Use Motorcraft SAE 5W-50 full synthetic or an equivalent SAE 5W-50 full
synthetic oil meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C931-B.
Do not use supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine
treatments. They are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that
is not covered by Ford warranty.
Change your engine oil and filter according to the appropriate schedule
listed in thescheduled maintenance information.
ENGINE AND INTERCOOLER COOLANT
The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the
mileage intervals listed in thescheduled maintenance information.
The coolant concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant and
water, which equates to a freeze point of -36°C (-34°F). Coolant
concentration testing is possible with a hydrometer or antifreeze tester
(such as the Rotunda Battery and Antifreeze Tester, 0014–R1060). The
level of coolant should be maintained at the “cold fill range” level in the
coolant reservoir. If the level falls below, add coolant per the instructions
in theAdding engine coolantsection.
Your vehicle was factory-filled with a 50/50 engine coolant and water
concentration. If the concentration of coolant falls below 40% or above
60%, the engine parts could become damaged or not work properly.A
50/50 mixture of coolant and water provides the following:
•freeze protection down to -36°C (-34°F).
•boiling protection up to 129°C (265°F).
•protection against rust and other forms of corrosion.
•an accurate temperature readout from the engine coolant
gauge.

Changing the air filter element
1. Release the clamps that secure
the air filter housing cover.
2. Carefully separate the two halves
of the air filter housing.
3. Remove the air filter element
from the air filter housing.
4. Wipe the air filter housing and
cover clean to remove any dirt or
debris and to ensure good sealing.
5. Install a new air filter element. Be
careful not to crimp the filter
element edges between the air filter
housing and cover. This could cause
filter damage and allow unfiltered
air to enter the engine if not
properly seated.
6. Replace the air filter housing
cover and secure the clamps.

WARRANTY COVERAGE
The Shelby GT500 carries the same New Vehicle Limited Warranty as
other Ford Mustang models. This information is covered in its entirety in
the Ford Motor Company Warranty Guide.
Warranty service for the Shelby GT500 or any SVT vehicle can be
obtained at any Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer nationwide.
SVT does not recommend modifying or racing SVT vehicles, as they are
designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory. The Ford
Motor Company Warranty Guide discusses vehicle usage and the
installation of aftermarket parts and their effect on warranty coverage as
follows:
Repairs are not reimbursable under warranty when damage is caused by:
•misusing the vehicle, such as driving over curbs, overloading, racing,
or using the vehicle as a stationary power source.
•altering or modifying the vehicle — including the body, chassis, or
powertrain components — after the vehicle leaves Ford’s control.
•non-Ford parts installed after the vehicle leaves Ford’s control,
including, but not limited to, cellular phones, alarm systems and
automatic starting systems.
Please see the Warranty Guide for complete information.
In the event the vehicle is intended for track use, and the loss of
warranty coverage is not of concern, the following powertrain durability
modifications are recommended:
•install transmission oil cooler. Permanent damage to the transmission
will result if the vehicle is subjected to competition conditions without
installation of a transmission oil cooler.
•install rear differential cooler. Permanent damage to the rear
differential will result if the vehicle is subjected to competition
conditions without installation of a differential cooler.
Additionally, perform Multi-Point Inspection and the inspections outlined
in the 150,000 mile Normal Maintenance Schedule outlined in the
scheduled maintenance information.Refer to the Vehicle Service
Manual for removal and installation procedures. Replace with Genuine
Ford and Motorcraft service parts as needed.
These modifications will not necessarily protect your engine from
damage in competition conditions. Subjecting your vehicle to competition
conditions even with these proposed modifications will render repairs
non-reimbursable under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
