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 WARNING: 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 vehicle will have limited
power, will not be able to maintain high-speed operation, and may
completely shut down without warning,
potentially losing engine power, power
steering assist, and power brake assist,
which may increase the possibility of a
crash resulting in serious injury.
WARNING:
Never remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
running or hot.
Your vehicle has limited engine power
when in the fail-safe mode, drive your
vehicle with caution. Your vehicle does not
maintain high-speed operation and the
engine may operate poorly.
Remember that the engine is capable of
automatically shutting down to prevent
engine damage. In this situation:
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible and switch the engine off.
2. Contact the Ford GT Concierge to obtain assistance.
See About This
Manual (page 5).
3. If this is not possible, wait a short period for the engine to cool.
4. Check the coolant level. If the coolant level is at or below the minimum mark,
add prediluted coolant immediately.
5. When the engine temperature cools, you can re-start the engine. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible to
minimize engine damage.
Note: Driving your vehicle without repair
increases the chance of engine damage.

Ford GT (CGX) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201908, First-Printing Maintenance

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. As the engine
is warming up, complete the following:
Reset the clock. See Audio System
(page 218). Reset the radio station
presets. See Audio System (page 218).
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 or in
storage for more than two weeks without
driving it, connect the Li-Ion compatible
battery charger and maintainer provided.
There are two methods to connect the
charger: Method 1: Rear Hatch Storage
Compartment Power Point
Your Ford GT has a 12V power point in the
rear hatch storage area that allows you to
conveniently plug in to charge and
maintain your battery.
Note:
You can only the use the hatch
storage power point for battery charging.
The one inside the passenger compartment
on the side of the center console will not
work for this purpose. 1. Locate and open the cap covering the
power point.
2. Insert the provided charger plug in to the power point.
3. Connect the charger to the wall socket.
4. Disconnect the charger from the wall socket before disconnecting the cigar
plug.
Method 2: Under Hood Jump Start
Posts
You can also connect the battery charger
to the posts underneath the front hood for
jump starting the vehicle. The charger
connects simply to the jump start positive
(+) and negative (-) posts as shown in the
following illustration.
168
Ford GT (CGX) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201908, First-Printing MaintenanceE291522

Note:
If you incorrectly connect the battery
clamps, the reverse polarity protection of
the charger ensures that the battery and
charger are not damaged. 1. Connect the positive (+) red cable to
the positive (B) post.
2. Connect the negative (-) black cable to the negative (A) post.
3. Connect the charger to the wall socket.
4. Disconnect the charger from the wall socket before disconnecting the
battery.
5. Disconnect the black clamp before the
red clamp.
The battery charger and maintainer
charges the battery to a full charge and
then monitors 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 goes
into its under voltage protection mode. If
this has occurred, connect the charger and
press the reset button on the charger for 10
seconds, which wakes 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
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.
