2010 FORD MUSTANG battery

Restoring the Express up functionality (Front windows only)
Under low battery power conditions, Express Up only functionality may
be lost. To reset this function after restoring full battery power, pull the
switch to the Express Up position, hold the switch until the glass
reaches the stall position and continue to hold for two seconds. Push the
window switch DOWN and operate the window to the full down position.
Express UP will now be functional.Perform Express UP
re-calibration with door closed only. Calibrating with door open
will cause the window to continuously bounce back.
Bounce back (front windows only)
When an obstacle has been detected in the window opening as the
window is moving upward, the window will automatically move down and
stop at a prescribed position.
Bounce back override (front windows only)
To override bounce back, within two seconds after reaching bounce back
position, if the switch is moved from the neutral to the express up
positionthe window will travel up with no bounce back protection.
If the switch is released before the window reaches fully closed position,
the window will stop. For example: bounce back override can be used to
overcome the resistance of ice on the window or seals.
Short drop glass (Front windows only)
In order to improve door efforts and sealing, your vehicle is equipped
with short drop glass. This feature lowers the glass when either door is
opened. The glass returns to its closed position when the door is closed.
Proper operation of the short drop glass requires that the windows be
calibrated.Though your windows will have been calibrated before
your vehicle is delivered to you, it is possible for the windows to
lose calibration.If a window loses its calibration, your short drop
feature will lower the window, but will not raise it again when the door is
closed. To re-calibrate the window, pull the switch up to raise the
window until it completes its travel and hold the switch up for two
seconds. Another possible effect of lost calibration is that the feature
may not lower the window. To re-calibrate the window in this case, lower
the window until it completes its travel and hold the switch down for
two seconds. Immediately after releasing the window down switch, pull
the switch up to raise the window until it completes its travel and hold
the switch up for two seconds.Perform Short drop re-calibration
with doors closed only. Re-calibrating with doors open will cause
the window to continuously bounce back.

CONVERTIBLE (IF EQUIPPED)
Do not store articles behind rear seat. Articles stored in the convertible
top stowage compartment may break the rear glass window when the top
is lowered.
Lowering the convertible top
The convertible top can be lowered with the side windows down. The
windows will automatically lower when lowering or raising the top.
The convertible topwill not operateunless the vehicle is traveling
under 3 mph (5 km/h). Do not lower the top when the top material is
wet.
To lower the convertible top:
1. Bring vehicle to a complete stop. Key must be in the on position. It is
recommended that the vehicle’s engine is running when lowering the top
to prevent draining the battery.
2. Check the convertible top stowage compartment behind the rear seat
to be sure it is empty and ready to receive the top. Check the
convertible top outer surface to be sure it is free of leaves and debris.
The latch handles must be pulled
downwards fully to allow the
latch to fully rotate into the
open position
3. Unclamp the top from the
windshield header by pulling each
latch handle down and then rotating
the latch to the rear until it clears
the header.
Note:If the top has not been lowered for some time and sticks to the
windshield header, push the front of the top up slightly with your hand
to loosen it.

Stow the boot in the trunk.
Raising the convertible top
The convertible topwill not operateunless the vehicle is traveling
under 3 mph (5 km/h).
To raise the convertible top:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Key must be in the on position.
It is recommended that the vehicle’s engine is running when raising the
top to prevent draining the battery.
2. Push the convertible top switch,
holding it until the windows lower
completely and the top unfolds and
moves forward toward the
windshield header.
3. You can release the convertible
top switch to open both latch
handles before the top meets the
windshield header. Make sure the
latch handles are pulled down fully
for hand clearance and are swung to
the fully open position.
Note:If the top has been in the down position for an extended period or
if the temperature is low, the top material may shrink a small amount.
Pulling down on the latch handles and at the center grip in the header
will make it easier to fasten the top.
4. Continue to use the convertible top switch to raise the top until it has
reached the fully closed position flush to the header.
Note:The two pins under the forward edge of the top should seat
themselves in the matching holes in the header.

Replacing lost Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKTs)
If you would like to have your Integrated Keyhead Transmitters
reprogrammed because you lost one, or would like to buy additional
IKTs, you can either reprogram them yourself, or takeall IKTsto your
authorized dealer for reprogramming.
How to reprogram your Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKTs)
To program a new Integrated Keyhead Transmitter yourself, refer to
Programming spare keysin theSecuriLock™ passive anti-theft
systemsection of this chapter.Note:At least two IKTs are required to
perform this procedure yourself.

SECURILOCK™ PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLock™ passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being
started unless acoded Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT)
programmed to your vehicleis used. The use of the wrong type of
coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition.
Your vehicle comes with two coded Integrated Keyhead Transmitters;
additional coded IKTs may be purchased from your authorized dealer.
Standard SecuriLock™ keys without remote entry transmitter
functionality can also be purchased from your authorized dealer if
desired. The authorized dealer can program your spare IKTs to your
vehicle or you can program the IKTs yourself. Refer toProgramming
spare keysfor instructions on how to program the coded key.
Note:The SecuriLock™ passive anti-theft system is not compatible with
non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.
Note:Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to
purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same
key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these
objects from touching the coded IKT while starting the engine. These
objects will not cause damage to the coded IKT, but may cause a
momentary issue if they are too close to the IKT when starting the
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on
the key chain away from the coded IKT and restart the engine.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always
take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)
Understanding the gearshift positions of the 5–speed automatic
transmission
This vehicle is equipped with an Adaptive Transmission Control Strategy.
This Adaptive Transmission Control Strategy offers the optimal
transmission operation and shift quality. When the vehicle’s battery has
been disconnected for any type of service or repair, the transmission will
need to relearn the normal shift strategy parameters, much like having to
reset your radio stations when your vehicle battery has been
disconnected. The Adaptive Transmission Control Strategy allows the
transmission to relearn these operating parameters. This learning process
could take several transmission upshifts and downshifts; during this
learning process, slightly firmer shifts may occur. After this learning
process, normal shift feel and shift scheduling will resume.
P (Park)
This position locks the transmission and prevents the rear wheels from
turning.
To put your vehicle in gear:
•Start the engine
•Depress the brake pedal
•Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear
To put your vehicle in P (Park):
•Come to a complete stop
•Move the gearshift lever and securely latch it in P (Park)
