Upshift
Illuminates when it is best to shift to the next highest manual
transmission gear to maximize fuel economy.
Multi-shift indicators:
1.
(Upshift): Set for maximum fuel economy
2.SVT: Performance shift indicator
Performance shift indicator
Your vehicle is equipped with a programmable performance shift
indicator. When activated, this feature provides a visual (SHIFTLAMP)
and/or audible (SHIFTTONE) cue to shift to the next highest gear at an
engine rpm specified by the driver.
The SHIFTLAMP feature uses the SVT logo on the tachometer to notify
you when the desired shiftpoint is reached. The SVT symbol is backlit in
red under normal driving conditions (SHIFTLAMP OFF). When the
SHIFTLAMP is set to ON, the red backlighting is turned off and the SVT
logo will turn bright orange when the desired shift point is reached.
The SHIFTTONE feature uses an audible tone to notify you when the
desired shiftpoint is reached.

illuminate when it is best to shift to the next highest gear to maximize
fuel economy regardless of the performance shift indicator settings.

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

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.

10. If necessary, add a50/50 mixtureof engine coolant and distilled
water to the engine coolant reservoir until the coolant level is at the
“cold fill range” as listed on the reservoir.
After any coolant has been added, check the coolant concentration (refer
toChecking engine coolantin theOwner’s Guide).If the
concentration is not 50/50 (protection to –34°F/–36°C), drain some
coolant and adjust the concentration. It may take several drains and
additions to obtain a 50/50 coolant concentration.
Whenever coolant has been added, the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir should be checked the next few times you drive the vehicle. If
necessary, add enough 50/50 concentration of engine coolant and
distilled water to bring the liquid level to the proper level.
If you have to add more than 1.0 quart (1.0 liter) of engine coolant per
month, have your dealer check the engine cooling system. Your cooling
system may have a leak. Operating an engine with a low level of coolant
can result in engine overheating and possible engine damage.
OCTANE RECOMMENDATIONS
Your vehicle is designed to use
“Premium” unleaded gasoline with
an (R+M)/2 octane rating of 91 or
higher for optimum performance.
The use of gasolines with lower
octane ratings may degrade performance. We do not recommend the use
of gasolines labeled as “Premium” in high altitude areas that are sold
with octane ratings of less than 91.
If your engine knocks under most driving conditions while you are using
fuel with the recommended octane rating, see your authorized dealer to
prevent any engine damage.
AIR FILTER
Refer toscheduled maintenance informationfor the appropriate
intervals for changing the air filter element.
When changing the air filter element, use only the Motorcraft air filter
element listed. Refer toMotorcraft part numbersin this chapter.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and/or
personal burn injuries do not start your engine with the air
cleaner removed and do not remove it while the engine is running.

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.
