Operating at High Speeds
Equipped with the SVT Track Pack, your SVT vehicle is capable of
sustained high speeds and track day driving. All Shelby GT500’s are
equipped with tires rated for the vehicle’s maximum speed. Remember to
drive safely, obey all traffic laws and only operate your SVT vehicle at
high speeds at locations equipped and designed to do so safely. Before
operating your vehicle at high speeds, follow these guidelines.
•Verify your tires have the 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.
SHELBY GT500 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Performance Shift Indicator
When activated, the programmable shift indicator provides a visual
(SHIFTLAMP) and may include an 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.
