Manually Placing the Transmission in
Park Override
The transmission park override tool is in
the storage compartment under the rear
hatch.
It requires two people to perform this
procedure properly. One person seated in
the driver's seat, that must remain in
control of vehicle steering, brakes and
parking brake at all times. For instructions
on releasing the parking brake in the event
of a loss of vehicle battery power. See
Electric Parking Brake (page 111). If you
do not have battery power, chock the
wheels so the car does not roll forward or
backward when not intended. 1.
Remove the plug from the bottom right
side of the storage compartment to
access the park override shaft. 2. Insert the park override tool onto the
shaft. Hold the tool in the rotated
position to maintain park override when
you move the vehicle.
3. To return the transmission to normal park function, remove the park override
tool.
4. Re-install the plug and return the tool to the storage position.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud
or Snow
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
reducing the stability and traction control
may be beneficial as this allows the wheels
to spin. You can reduce the stability and
traction control by switching to Sport
mode and adjusting the AdvanceTrac
setting.
See Using Stability Control
(page 116).

starting the engine or by pressing the
START/STOP button with your foot off

If your Ford GT must be transported,
whenever possible, use an enclosed trailer,
an open car trailer, or a roll back car carrier.
If you must move the car on its wheels,

rear hatch storage. This recovery hook
should be screwed into the receptacle
located in the right corner of the front grille.
Once installed, use the recovery hook to
pull the car. 132

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.
Getting the Transmission in
Neutral
If the battery loses charge, the
transmission moves to park (P). You can
use the transmission tool to place the car
into Neutral (N). See
Automatic
Transmission (page 105).
Note: If your battery loses charge with the
electric park brake on, you cannot transport
your vehicle until you restore power to your
vehicle to turn off the electric park brake.
