2017 FORD MUSTANG Axle

For maximum vehicle performance, keep
the following information in mind when
adding accessories, equipment,
passengers and luggage to your vehicle:
•
Do not exceed the total weight
capacity of the vehicle or of the front
or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as
indicated on the Safety Compliance
Certification label). Consult an
authorized dealer for specific weight
information.
• The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian
Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulate the use
of radio transmitter-equipped mobile
communications systems, for example,
two-way radios, telephones and theft
alarms. Any such equipment should
comply with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) regulations, and an authorized
dealer should install this equipment.
• An authorized dealer should install
mobile communications systems.
Improper installation may harm the
operation of your vehicle, particularly
if their manufacturer did not design the
mobile communication system
specifically for automotive use.
• If you or an authorized dealer add any
non-Ford electrical or electronic
accessories or components to your
vehicle, you may adversely affect
battery performance and durability. In
addition, you may also adversely affect
the performance of other electrical
systems in the vehicle.

modifier XL-3 (EST-M2C118-A) or
equivalent for complete refill of
Traction-Lok rear axles.
California Fuel Filter Replacement
If you register your vehicle in California, the
California Air Resources Board has
determined that the failure to perform this
maintenance item does not nullify the
emission warranty or limit recall liability
before the completion of your vehicle's
useful life. Ford Motor Company, however,
urges you to have all recommended
maintenance services performed at the
specified intervals and to record all vehicle
service.
