ADVANCETRACSTABILITY ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM
AdvanceTracsport mode
The AdvanceTracsystem provides an available sport mode specially
calibrated for the Boss302 and its unique performance characteristics.
This can be selected utilizing the stability control off switch. While in
AdvanceTracsport mode, the selected steering option will be
overridden and placed in sport mode. See theDrivingsection of the
Owner’s Manualfor more information.
DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE THROUGH WATER
The Boss302 has aerodynamic devices attached to the underbody
designed to help control airflow for superior performance. Therefore, the
driver must be especially careful to avoid driving through deep or
standing water. If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable,
proceed very slowly. Never drive through water that is higher than the
bottom of the wheel rims. Water may enter through the air intake due to
the vacuum generated in the engine. Damage caused by the intake of
water in the engine is not covered by the warranty. Refer toTi r e
informationfor more information.
GROUND CLEARANCE
Note:Because of low vehicle ground clearance, use caution when
approaching curbs/curb stops from the front and rear as vehicle damage
will occur. Additionally, when crossing speed bumps or driveway curbs,
Ford recommends approaching at a very low speed.
