Oil pressure gauge
Indicates engine oil pressure.
During normal driving the indicated oil pressure will vary with engine
speed, the pressure rising as engine speed rises and dropping as engine
speed drops.
If the engine oil pressure drops below the normal range, the oil pressure
gauge pointer will drop into the red section of the gauge scale and the
engine oil pressure warning lamp in the main instrument cluster will
illuminate. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and switch off the
engine immediately. Check the oil level and add oil if needed.

MANUAL 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION OPERATION
Using the Clutch
Note:During each shift, the clutch pedal must be fully pressed to the
floor and the accelerator fully released. Failure to follow this may cause
increased shift efforts, prematurely wear transmission components, or
cause gear clash or damage to the transmission. Make sure the floor mat
is properly positioned so it doesn’t interfere with the full extension of the
clutch pedal.
Note:If you attempt to shift when the drive wheels are spinning with a
loss of traction, it is possible to cause damage to the transmission. Do
not attempt to shift when the drive wheels do not have traction.
Note:Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use the
clutch pedal to hold your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill.
These actions will reduce the life of the clutch.
Your vehicle is equipped with a twin disc clutch. Due to the high
performance of the powertrain, a certain amount of noise from the
transmission is normal.
The manual transmission has a starter interlock that prevents cranking
the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully pressed.
To start the vehicle:
1. Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then put the transmission selector
lever in positionN.
3. Start the engine, then press the brake pedal and release the parking
brake.

4. Move the transmission selector lever to position1, then slowly release
the clutch pedal while slowly pressing on the accelerator.
5. To engage reverse, lift up on the reverse lockout ring located under
the shift knob and move the transmission selector lever fully to the left
and forward.
Recommended Shift Speeds for Maximum Fuel Economy
When accelerating, upshift according to the following chart:
Upshifts when accelerating*
Shift from:
1 - 2 12 mph (19 km/h)
2 - 3 23 mph (37 km/h)
3 - 4 32 mph (51 km/h)

Operating at High Speeds
Your ST vehicle is capable of high speeds and is equipped with tires
rated for the vehicle’s maximum speed. Remember to drive safely, obey
all traffic laws and only operate your ST vehicle at high speeds at
locations equipped and designed to do so safely. Before operating your
vehicle at high speeds:
•Verify correct tire pressures (seeTiresin this supplement).
•Inspect wheels and tires for wear and damage. Replace any damaged
wheels or tires.
•Do not operate your vehicle at high speeds with more than two
passengers or while carrying cargo.

cause brake system damage.2Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine oil need only meet the
requirements of Ford specification WSS-M2C946-A, SAE 5W-30 and display the API Certification
Mark. Your engine has been designed to be used with Ford engine oil, which gives a fuel
economy benefit while maintaining the durability of your engine. Using oils other than the one
specified can result in longer engine cranking periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel
economy and increased emission levels.3Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
