2013 FORD MUSTANG window

HEATED REAR WINDOW
Note:The vehicle must be running to use this feature.
Press the control to clear the rear window of thin ice and fog. Press the
control again within 15 minutes to switch it off. It turns off automatically
after 15 minutes, or when you switch the ignition off.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and
will not be covered by your warranty.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Note:A cabin air filter must be installed at all times to prevent foreign
objects from entering the system. Running the system without a filter in
place could result in degradation or damage to the system.
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter, which is located just in
front of the windshield under the cowl grille on the passenger side of the
vehicle.
The particulate air filtration system is designed to reduce the
concentration of airborne particles such as dust, spores and pollen in the
air being supplied to the interior of the vehicle. The particulate filtration
system gives the following benefits to customers:
•Improves the customer’s driving comfort by reducing particle
concentration
•Improves the interior compartment cleanliness
•Protects the climate control components from particle deposits
For more information regarding the interval at which you should replace
the cabin air filter, refer to theScheduled Maintenancechapter.
For additional cabin air filter information, or to replace the filter, see an
authorized dealer.

OPENING THE CONVERTIBLE TOP (IF EQUIPPED)
Note: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 opened.
Note:Opening the convertible top when the top material is wet may
cause mold or mildew.
The convertible top can be opened with the side windows down. The
windows will automatically lower when opening or closing the top.
The convertible top will not operate unless the vehicle is stationary or
traveling under 3 mph (5 km/h).
To open the convertible top:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The ignition must be on. It is
recommended that the engine is running when opening the top to
prevent draining the battery.
2. Check the convertible top stowage compartment behind the rear seat
to be sure it is empty. Make sure the convertible top outer surface is free
of debris.
Note:The latch handles must be
pulled downward fully to allow the
latch to fully rotate into the open

recommended that the engine is running when opening the top to
prevent draining the battery.
2. Press and hold the convertible

moves forward toward the
windshield header.
Make sure the latch handles are
pulled down and in the fully opened
position before the top and the
windshield header make contact.
3. Continue pressing the convertible top switch to close the top
completely. The top must be flush with the header.

BREAKING-IN
Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the
moving parts a chance to break in.
Drive your new vehicle at least 1,000 miles (1,600 km) before towing a
trailer.
Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils since
these additives may prevent piston ring seating.
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Fuel economy is affected by several things such as how you drive, the
conditions you drive under and how you maintain your vehicle.
There are some things to keep in mind that may improve your fuel
economy:
•Accelerate and slow down in a smooth, moderate fashion.
•Drive at steady speeds without stopping.
•Anticipate stops; slowing down may eliminate the need to stop.
•Combine errands and minimize stop-and-go driving.
•Close the windows for high-speed driving.
•Drive at reasonable speeds (traveling at 55 mph [88 km/h] uses 15%
less fuel than traveling at 65 mph [105 km/h]).
•Keep the tires properly inflated and use only the recommended size.
•Use the recommended engine oil.
•Perform all regularly scheduled maintenance.
There are also some things you may not want to do because they may
reduce your fuel economy:
•Sudden or hard accelerations.
•Rev the engine before turning it off.
•Idle for periods longer than one minute.
•Warm up your vehicle on cold mornings.
•Use the air conditioner or front defroster.
•Use the speed control in hilly terrain.
•Rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
