2020 FORD MUSTANG power steering

Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort required for you to steer your
vehicle, this increased effort prevents
overheating and permanent damage to
the steering system. You do not lose the
ability to steer your vehicle manually.
Typical steering and driving maneuvers
allow the system to cool and return to
normal operation.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•
Correct tire pressures.
• Uneven tire wear.
• Loose or worn suspension
components.
• Loose or worn steering components.
• Improper vehicle alignment.
Note: A high crown in the road or high
crosswinds may also make the steering
seem to wander or pull.
Adaptive Learning (If Equipped)
The electronic power steering system
adaptive learning helps correct road
irregularities and improves overall handling
and steering feel. It communicates with
the brake system to help operate
advanced stability control and accident
avoidance systems. Additionally, whenever
the battery is disconnected or a new
battery installed, you must drive your
vehicle a short distance before the system
relearns the strategy and reactivates all
systems. PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
(IF
EQUIPPED) WARNING:
You must remain in
your vehicle when the system turns on.
At all times, you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising the
system and intervening, if required.
Failure to take care may result in the loss
of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system does not
detect vehicles that are driving in a
different direction, cyclists or animals.
Failure to take care may result in the loss
of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system does not
operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead
to a crash or personal injury. WARNING: The system may fail or
operate with reduced function during
cold and severe weather conditions.
Snow, ice, rain, spray and fog can
adversely affect the system. Keep the
front camera and radar free of snow and
ice. Failure to take care may result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death. WARNING:
In situations where the
vehicle camera has limited detection
capability, this may reduce system
performance. These situations include
but are not limited to direct or low
sunlight, vehicles at night without tail
lights, unconventional vehicle types,
pedestrians with complex backgrounds,

DRIVE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
Selectable Drive Modes
(If Equipped)
Selectable drive modes deliver a
customized driving experience using a
variety of electronic vehicle systems. The
systems optimize vehicle dynamics and
powertrain response based on your
selected mode. Systems associated with
selectable drive modes are:
• Electronically power assisted steering.
See
Steering (page 184).
• Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control
in adverse conditions or high
performance driving.
See Stability
Control (page 158).
• Electronic throttle control enhances
the powertrain response to your driving
input.
• Adaptive dampers (if equipped).
• Active exhaust adjusts the sound
characteristics of your vehicle (if
equipped).
Using Selectable Drive Modes
Note: Your vehicle may have some of the
drive modes that follow. To change the drive mode setting, press
the mode button on the instrument panel
under the display. The first press
illuminates the selected mode, subsequent
presses change the selected mode.
Note:
Mode changes are not available when
the ignition is off or when the transmission
is in reverse (R). Some modes may be
unavailable when the transmission is in drive
(D) or sport (S).
Modes:
• Normal
– Best suited for everyday
driving. If your vehicle has adaptive
dampers, the suspension delivers a
balanced combination of comfort and
handling. Selectable steering defaults
to
Normal but can be changed using
the steering button.
• Sport
– Engages when you shift your
automatic transmission into sport (S).
Sport mode increases throttle
response and helps your vehicle
accelerate faster, but does not change
the vehicle dynamics or stability
system.
• Sport +
– Best suited for spirited
driving. This mode increases throttle
response, and if your vehicle has active
exhaust, it takes on a more powerful
tone. If your vehicle has adaptive
dampers, the suspension becomes
stiffer, body motion reduces and the
steering becomes more precise.
Selectable steering defaults to
Sport.
Depending on vehicle configuration,
you may be able to change the
selectable steering setting by pressing
the steering button.
• Track – Provides a performance driving
experience. Throttle response
increases, and if your vehicle has active
exhaust, it takes on a more powerful
tone. A performance oriented traction
control mode is automatically utilized.
In this mode, traction control
intervention is reduced and tuned

specifically for track usage only. This
mode is not intended for public roads.
See Using Stability Control (page
159). If your vehicle is equipped with
adaptive dampers, the suspension is
optimized for transient handling
maneuvers. This mode offers
maximum control and confidence in
handling on road courses or auto-cross
style events. Selectable steering
defaults to
Sport. Depending on
vehicle configuration, you could change
the selectable steering setting by
pressing the steering button.
• Drag Strip
- Provides a performance
driving experience tailored to driving
on a drag strip. The engine responds
directly to your inputs, and if your
vehicle has active exhaust, it takes on
a more powerful tone. This mode is not
intended for public roads. If your
vehicle has adaptive dampers, the
setting is optimized for straight line
maximum acceleration. Selectable
steering defaults to
Sport. Depending
on vehicle configuration, you could
change the selectable steering setting
by pressing the steering button.
• Snow / Wet
- Provides a confident
handling driving experience during poor
weather. If your vehicle has adaptive
dampers, the suspension delivers a
balanced combination of comfort and
handling. Selectable steering defaults
to
Normal. Depending on vehicle
configuration, you could change the
selectable steering setting by pressing
the steering button. Using MyMode (If Equipped)
You can use
MyMode to create a unique
drive mode.
To create or save
MyMode, press the
button on the steering wheel and access
the menu. See

that continuously monitor the system to
make sure it properly operates. If a mode is
unavailable due to a system fault or change
in gear position, the selected mode defaults
to
Normal.
Note: Pre-Collision Assist is automatically
disabled when
Track mode is selected. See
Pre-Collision Assist (page 185).
Note: If your vehicle has adaptive dampers,
the steering setting is optimized to work with
each drive mode. Other steering settings
may not be available.

to both retention devices so that it
cannot slip out of position and interfere
with the pedals. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death. WARNING: Do not place additional
floor mats or any other covering on top
of the original floor mats. This could
result in the floor mat interfering with the
operation of the pedals. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death. WARNING:
Always make sure that
objects cannot fall into the driver foot
well while your vehicle is moving. Objects
that are loose can become trapped
under the pedals causing a loss of
vehicle control. To install the floor mats, position the floor
mat eyelet over the retention post and
press down to lock in position.
To remove the floor mat, reverse the
installation procedure.
Note:
Regularly check the floor mats to
make sure they are secure.
