Always use caution while reversing.
Objects in the red zone are closest to your
vehicle and objects in the green zone are
farther away. Objects are getting closer to
your vehicle as they move from the green
zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the
side view mirrors and rear view mirror to
get better coverage on both sides and rear
of the vehicle.
Manual Zoom
WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the full
area behind your vehicle may not
show. Be aware of your surroundings
when using the manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
Selectable settings for this feature are
Zoom in (+) and Zoom out (-). Press the
symbol in the camera screen to change the
view. The default setting is Zoom OFF.
This feature allows you to get a closer view
of an object behind your vehicle. The zoom
is only active while the transmission is in
reverse (R). When the transmission shifts
out of reverse (R), the feature
automatically turns off and must be reset
when it is used again.
Rear Camera Delay
You can select to have the rear camera
continue to display after shifting from
reverse (R). See Settings (page 238).

FUSE SPECIFICATION CHART
Front Power Distribution Box
WARNINGS
Always disconnect the battery before
servicing high current fuses.
To reduce risk of electrical shock,
always replace the cover to the
power distribution box before
reconnecting the battery or refilling fluid
reservoirs. The front power distribution box is under
the front hood. See Under Hood
Overview (page 150). It has high-current
fuses that protect your vehicle's main
electrical systems from overloads. There
are also high current fuses next to the front
power distribution box. If replacement of
these high current fuses is required, see an
authorized dealer.
If you disconnect and reconnect the
battery, you will need to reset some
features. See Changing the 12V Battery

are in the right side of the engine
compartment behind an access door in the
engine surround panel. If replacement of
these high current fuses is required, see an
authorized dealer. If you disconnect and reconnect the
battery, you will need to reset some

Dispose of used engine coolant in an
appropriate manner. Follow your
community
’s regulations and standards
for recycling and disposing of automotive
fluids.
Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
• It may be necessary to increase the
coolant concentration above 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60%
provides improved freeze point
protection. Coolant concentrations
above 60% decrease the overheat
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause engine
damage.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
• It may be necessary to decrease the
coolant concentration to 40%.
• A coolant concentration of 40%
provides improved overheat protection.
Coolant concentrations below 40%
decrease the freeze and corrosion
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause engine
damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme
climates should use prediluted coolant for
optimum cooling system and engine
protection.
Coolant Change
At specific mileage intervals, as listed in
the scheduled maintenance information,
the coolant should be changed. Add
prediluted coolant meeting the correct
specification. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 195). Fail-Safe Cooling
Fail-safe cooling allows you to temporarily
drive your vehicle before any incremental
component damage occurs. The fail-safe
distance depends on ambient
temperature, vehicle load and terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat, the
coolant temperature gauge moves toward
the red zone:
A warning lamp illuminates and
a message may appear in the
information display.
If the engine reaches a preset
over-temperature condition, the engine
automatically switches to alternating
cylinder operation. Each disabled cylinder
acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs, your vehicle still
operates, however:
• Engine power is limited.
• The air conditioning system turns off.
Continued operation increases the engine
temperature, causing the engine to
completely shut down. Your steering and
braking effort increases in this situation.
When the engine temperature cools, you
can re-start the engine. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible to minimize
engine damage.
When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated WARNINGS
Fail-safe mode is for use during
emergencies only. Operate your
vehicle in fail-safe mode only as long
as necessary to bring your vehicle to rest
in a safe location and seek immediate
repairs. When in fail-safe mode, your

CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after
handling. The Ford GT uses a lithium Ion battery.
The battery is located inside the right front
fender. For battery maintenance or
replacement, contact an authorized dealer.
When a battery replacement is required,
you must use a recommended
replacement battery that matches the
electrical requirements of the vehicle.
Note:
If you add electrical accessories or
components to the vehicle, it may adversely
affect the low voltage battery performance
and durability. This may also affect the
performance of other electrical systems in
the vehicle.
Because your vehicle ’s engine is
electronically controlled by a computer,
some control conditions are maintained
by power from the battery. When the
battery is disconnected or a new battery
is installed, the engine must relearn its idle
and fuel trim strategy for optimum
driveability and performance.
To restore the settings, do the following:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Shift into park (P) or neutral (N).
3. Switch off all accessories.
4. Press the brake pedal and start your vehicle. 5. Run the engine until it reaches normal
operating temperature. While the
engine is warming up, complete the
following: Reset the clock. See Audio
System (page 202). Reset the radio
station presets. See Audio System
(page 202).
6. Allow the engine to idle for at least one
minute.
7. Drive the vehicle at least 10 mi (16 km)
to completely relearn the idle trim and
fuel trim strategy.
Note: If you do not allow the engine to
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy, the
idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely
affected until the engine computer
eventually relearns the idle trim and fuel
trim strategy.
Make sure that you dispose of old batteries
in an environmentally friendly way. Seek
advice from your local authority about
recycling old batteries.
Battery Charger and Maintainer
If you plan to have your GT parked for more
than two weeks without driving it, connect
the battery charger and maintainer
provided. This charger connects simply to
the jump start(+) and (-) posts as shown
in the illustration below.
158
Ford GT (CGX) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Maintenance
1. Connect the positive (+) red cable to
the positive (B) post.
2. Connect the negative (-) black cable to the negative (A) post.
The battery charger and maintainer
charges the battery to a full charge and
then monitor the charge as the car sits. If
the battery charge level drops, the
maintainer turns on to keep the battery
fully charged. You can keep the car stored
with the charger and maintainer attached.
For further information on the charger, see
the instructions provided with the charger.
Note: If the battery state of charge has
dropped below 10.5 volts, the battery will
have gone into its under voltage protection
mode. If this has occurred, connect the
charger and press the reset button on the
charger for 10 seconds. this will wake up the
battery to allow it to receive a charge.
Note: The GT battery charger and
maintainer is designed for the Lithium
battery used on Ford GT. Use only this
device. A charger designed for a lead acid
battery may damage the lithium battery in
your GT. Battery Management System (If
Equipped)
The battery management system monitors
battery conditions and takes actions to
extend battery life. If excessive battery
drain is detected, the system temporarily
disables the electrical systems to protect
the battery.
Use the charger to bring the battery back
to full charge.
Electrical Accessory Installation
Note: If you add electrical accessories or
components to the vehicle, it may adversely
affect battery performance and durability.
This may also affect the performance of
other electrical systems in the vehicle.
