months of ownership of a new vehicle or
the first 18,000 mi (29,000 km), whichever
occurs first:
1. Two or more repair attempts are made
on the same non-conformity likely to
cause death or serious bodily injury OR
2. Four or more repair attempts are made
on the same nonconformity (a defect
or condition that substantially impairs
the use, value or safety of the vehicle)
OR
3. The vehicle is out of service for repair of nonconformities for a total of more
than 30 calendar days (not necessarily
all at one time). In the case of 1 or 2 above, the consumer

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:
Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap
with a thick cloth to prevent the
possibility of scalding and slowly remove
the cap. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury. 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.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Management WARNING:
To reduce the risk of
crash and injury, be prepared that the
vehicle speed may reduce and the
vehicle may not be able to accelerate
with full power until the coolant
temperature reduces.
At this time, you may notice the coolant
temperature gauge moves toward the red
zone and a message may appear in the
information display.
161
Ford GT (CGX) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202010, First-Printing Maintenance
You may notice a reduction in vehicle
speed caused by reduced engine power in
order to manage the engine coolant
temperature. Your vehicle may enter this
mode if certain high-temperature and
high-load conditions take place. The
amount of speed reduction depends on
vehicle loading, slope and ambient
temperature. If this occurs, there is no
need to pull off the road. You can continue
to drive your vehicle.
The air conditioning may automatically
turn on and off during severe operating
conditions to protect the engine from
overheating. When the coolant
temperature decreases to the normal
operating temperature, the air conditioning
turns on.
If the coolant temperature gauge moves
fully into the red zone, or if the coolant
temperature warning or service engine
soon messages appear in your information
display, do the following:
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely
possible and shift the transmission into
park (P).
2. Leave the engine running until the coolant temperature gauge needle
returns to the normal position. After
several minutes, if the temperature
does not drop, follow the remaining
steps.
3. Switch the engine off and wait for it to
cool. Check the coolant level.
4. If the coolant level is at or below the minimum mark, add prediluted coolant
immediately.
5. If the coolant level is normal, restart the engine and continue. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID CHECK
If required, have an authorized dealer check
and change the transmission fluid at the
correct service interval. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 279).
The automatic transmission does not have
a transmission fluid dipstick.
Refer to your scheduled maintenance
information for scheduled intervals for fluid
checks and changes. Your transmission
does not consume fluid. However, if the
transmission slips, shifts slowly or if you
notice a sign of leaking fluid, contact an
authorized dealer.
Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments or cleaning
agents. The use of these materials may
affect transmission operation and result
in damage to internal transmission
components.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK WARNING:
Do not use any fluid
other than the recommended brake fluid
as this will reduce brake efficiency. Use
of incorrect fluid could result in the loss
of vehicle control, serious personal injury
or death. WARNING:
Only use brake fluid
from a sealed container. Contamination
with dirt, water, petroleum products or
other materials may result in brake
system damage or failure. Failure to
adhere to this warning could result in the
loss of vehicle control, serious personal
injury or death.

Operating at High Speeds and on
Track Days
Your vehicle is capable of sustained high
speeds and track day driving. Follow the
guidelines for breaking in the tires and
powertrain before operating your vehicle
at high speeds or on a track. See
Breaking-In (page 131).
Note: Obey all traffic laws and only operate
your vehicle at locations designed to do so
safely.
Note: For a detailed description of what
your vehicle's New Limited Warranty covers,
see the Ford GT Warranty Guide provided
to you along with your owner's manual.
Before operating your vehicle at high
speeds, follow these guidelines:
Overall Vehicle Preparation:
• Inspect wheels and tires for wear and
damage. Replace any damaged wheels
or tires.
• Torque the wheel lug nuts to the proper
specification:
150 lb.ft (204 Nm).
• Inspect all aerodynamic grilles and
cooling system components for
damage. Make sure there is no debris
or non-factory installed protective
films or equipment that could obstruct
airflow.
• Verify your tires have the correct tire
pressure. See the section that follows
for tire pressure specifications.
• Do not operate your vehicle at high
speeds while carrying cargo. Brake System Preparation:
•
Your vehicle has carbon ceramic brake
rotors that require extra care and
inspection methods including
measuring their weight and reviewing
the surface condition.
• Inspect the brake system for wear or
damage. Replace worn or below
specification brake pads, rotors or
cooling hoses. Make sure that the cross
drilling holes in the rotors are open and
free of debris.
• Prior to track use, replace the brake
fluid with fresh Motorcraft/Ford DOT
4 LV High Performance Brake Fluid or
other DOT compliant fluid with a dry
boiling point greater than
500°F
(260°C) from a sealed container. Do
not use silicone or DOT 5 brake fluids.
Powertrain Preparation:
• Make sure the engine oil, coolant,
transmission fluids and hydraulic
system fluid have received proper
maintenance, are clean and are at the
appropriate capacity.
• Allow the powertrain to warm up and
reach normal operating temperature.
Your vehicle has electronic controls to
reduce power or limit engine RPM to
reduce powertrain temperatures if
required.
• Regularly check the engine oil level
during the event. Maintain the engine
oil level at or near the max mark on the
engine oil dipstick.
See Engine Oil
Check (page 157).
