You can only transport your vehicle in an
enclosed trailer or on a roll back flatbed
truck. The ramp angle / angle of approach
on Ford GT is 9 degrees. Below are some
ramp lengths required to achieve this angle
depending on trailer / bed entrance height.

Your vehicle has a front end lift feature
that uses the electronically controlled
suspension hydraulics to lift the front of
the car. You can use this feature for
driveway approaches and speed bumps.
If there is power to this system, use it to lift
the front when loading the car onto a trailer
or a roll back. To operate the front lift, use
the switch in the console.
Note: The ground clearance on the car at
standard ride height is only 5 in (12 cm). Use
care when moving or loading the car to
make sure it does not bottom out.
Note: The vehicle doors swing both upward
and outward. At the full open position, the
top edge of the door is 67 in (170 cm) from
the ground and swings outward 26 in
(66 cm). Make sure you have the clearance
you need prior to opening the door.
The full undertrays of the vehicle are
carbon fiber, there are no tie down slots.
Use only over the tire straps to tie the car
down for transport.

CHANGING A FUSE
Fuses WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one that
has the specified amperage rating.
Using a fuse with a higher amperage
rating can cause severe wire damage and
could start a fire. If electrical components in the vehicle are
not working, a fuse may have blown. Blown
fuses are identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate fuses
before replacing any electrical
components.
