BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 mi (480 km). During
this time, your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics.
You should not drive your Ford GT
aggressively for the first
600 mi
(1,000 km) of vehicle operation. This will
allow for proper break in of the powertrain
and braking systems.
For the first 600 miles (1,000 km):
• Do not apply high load at low engine
speed.
• Do not drive the vehicle at a sustained
high-speed, high load.
• Avoid driving the vehicle at full throttle.
• Drive the vehicle at varying road and
engine speeds.
• Do not drive in competition and race
track conditions.
• Do not use launch control.
• If you are going to use the vehicle on
the race track right after break in,
change the oil after break in.
Cold Engine Operation
The design of your Ford GT restricts engine
power and RPM when the engine is cold.
The engine RPM and power output will be
reduced until the engine reaches full
operating temperature.
Hot Engine Shut down
You should allow your Ford GT engine to
cool down for a few minutes prior to shut
down after high speed or high performance
driving. Allowing the engine to run at light
loads and or idle for a few minutes will
reduce overall engine oil and coolant
temperatures. DRIVING THROUGH WATER WARNING
Do not drive through flowing or deep
water as you may lose control of your
vehicle.
Note:
Driving through standing water can
cause vehicle damage.
Note: Engine damage can occur if water
enters the air filter.
Before driving through standing water,
check the depth. Never drive through water
that is higher than the sidewall of the front
tire. If the water is up onto the wheel, do
not proceed. When driving through a
puddle, drive slowly to avoid splashing the
water into the engine air intake. When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction may
be limited.
After driving through water and as soon as
it is safe to do so:
•
Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the
brakes and to check that they work.
• Check that the horn works.

POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM
The system flashes the direction indicators
and sounds the horn (intermittently) in the
event of a serious impact that deploys an
airbag (front and side) or the safety belt
pretensioners.
The horn and indicators will turn off when:
• You press the hazard control button.
• You press the panic button on the
remote entry transmitter (if equipped).
• Your vehicle runs out of power. TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
If you need to transport your vehicle,
please contact the Ford GT Concierge at
800-210-5795.
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.
