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.

Shelby GT500 unique features

•Extra caution should be taken when operating the vehicle near its
maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing
speeds.
•Extra caution should be taken when operating on rough roads to avoid
impacts that could cause tire damage.
•In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
your tires for damage.
•Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis. If a tire is damaged,
replace it immediately.
•Proper suspension alignment is critical for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven tire wear, have your alignment
checked.
•Rotate tires as recommended in the following sectionTire rotation.
•When replacing tires, the only way to assure original performance is to
use the original equipment tire. If a different tire is used, it should be
the same size, speed rating and load rating and be replaced as a set of
four. Never mix tire brands.
Winter driving
The original equipment tires on your SVT vehicle are designed for
maximum performance in dry and wet summer conditions. They are not
designed for winter use on ice or snow and cannot be used with snow
chains. If you will be operating your vehicle in these conditions, winter
or all-season tires must be used.
•Use winter tires on all four wheels and use P255/45R18 tires with a
“V” speed rating and a 93 load index or higher.
•Winter tires must be of the proper speed and load ratings.
•Be aware that winter or all-season tires will not perform as well as the
original equipment tire in dry and wet conditions. Expect handling,
steering and braking to be degraded.
•Do not use a winter tire with less than a “V” speed rating, and even
with clear, dry driving conditions do not operate your vehicle above
posted speed limits while using winter tires. Never perform high speed
driving with winter tires.
