TRACK USE - MACH 1
Operating at High Speeds and
Track Days
Your vehicle is capable of sustained high
speeds and track day driving.
Before operating your vehicle at high
speeds:
•
Verify your tires have the correct
pressures.
• Inspect wheels and tires for wear and
damage. Replace any damaged wheels
and tires.
• Check and set lug nut torque. See
Technical Specifications (page 334).
• Verify fluid levels for oil, coolant, brake
and hydraulic fluid. See
Capacities
and Specifications (page 335).
• Change the engine oil and replace the
engine oil filter prior to use on the track.
Change the engine oil and filter again
after every four hours of track time.
Maintain the engine oil level at or near
the max mark on the engine oil dipstick.
See
Engine Oil Check (page 261).
• 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. •
If you are operating your Mach 1 on a
drag strip, use drag strip selectable
drive mode in addition to using line lock
and launch control to provide a specific
set-up tuned for the quickest straight
line elapsed times.
• If you are operating your Mach 1 on a
road course, use sport or track
selectable drive modes to provide a
specific set-up tuned for optimal shift
and suspension set-up that is tuned
towards handling prowess on closed
course surfaces.
After operating your vehicle at high speeds
or track day driving, do the following:
• Set the tire pressure to the proper
specification.
• Check and set the lug nut torque. See
Technical Specifications
(page 334).
• Check all fluid levels.
• Refer to the track maintenance interval
chart. See
Normal Scheduled
Maintenance (page 444).
• Check the front and rear wheel
bearings for abnormal wear.
• Inspect brake caliper dust boots for
abnormal wear.
Track Apps WARNING:
Track Apps™
is for
track use only. Remember that even
advanced technology cannot defy the
laws of physics. It is always possible to
lose control of a vehicle due to
inappropriate driver input for the
conditions. Aggressive driving on any
road condition can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk
of personal injury or property damage.

Road Course Alignment
Recommendations
Note:
After your track day is complete,
return your car to the street alignment and
tire pressures.
Note: Using these wheel alignment settings
may cause excessive tire wear. Only use
these settings for racing or competitive
driving. Excessive tire wear is not covered
under the vehicle warranty.
If you plan to participate in road course
track days, we recommend the following
chassis settings for optimal tire wear and
handling performance.
All settings are at curb loading condition
full of fuel.

Initiating Line Lock
The initiation stage verifies that the vehicle
is ready for line lock function, and confirms
driver intent. Follow the prompts in the
information display to initiate line lock.
The following conditions must be met to
initialize line lock:
•
The vehicle is on a level surface.
• The engine is running.
• The vehicle is traveling less than
25 mph (40 km/h).
• Selectable drive mode is not in wet
mode (if equipped).
• There are no electronic stability control
faults.
If you want to cancel line lock once it is
initialized, press the left information
display control. Once initiated, line lock is
prepared for activation and remains
initiated up to 25 mph (40 km/h). If vehicle
speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h), line lock
automatically cancels.
Engaging Line Lock
Follow the prompts in the information
display to engage line lock after it is
initialized. To engage, firmly apply the
brakes. Then press the OK button. Once
engaged, release the brake pedal. The
front brakes remain applied and the rear
brakes release. At this point, the
engagement timer is initiated and shown
on the driver information display.
The following conditions must be met to
engage line lock:
• The vehicle is on a level surface.
• The engine is running.
• The vehicle is stopped.
• The parking brake is not applied.
• The driver door is closed.
• The transmission is in a forward gear. •
Selectable drive mode is not in wet
mode (if equipped).
• There are no electronic stability control
faults.
• The steering wheel must be in the
straight ahead position.
Releasing Line Lock
While line lock is engaged, you can exit
(release) the feature using the OK button.
When you press the OK button, line lock
releases immediately and normal vehicle
function resumes. When line lock engages,
a countdown timer shows the remaining
time before line lock is released
automatically. If you exceed the time limit,
or another vehicle condition requires line
lock to release, the system safely
disengages and normal vehicle function
resumes.
Note: If you apply the brake pedal while
line lock is engaged, line lock automatically
cancels and normal brake function resumes.

Track Use Maintenance Intervals
Follow these maintenance intervals for
when you use your vehicle on a track or in
a high speed event. Vehicle Use and Example
Interval
Change the engine oil and filter
One track weekend or approximately 4
hours of track use
Change the rear axle fluid
Every 500 mi (800 km) 1
1 Change the fluid every 500 mi (800 km) or when a message appears in the information
display stating that the axle fluid is over temperature.
Timing Chain
If you use your vehicle extensively at a race
track or at high rpm, it is possible to exceed
the service life of the engine timing chain.
A wrench indicator light illuminates when
it is time for you to replace your chain.
Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
Adjustable Camber Front Strut
Top Mounts
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle has adjustable strut mounts
which you can use to adjust the camber of
your vehicle before and after a track event
to the specifications listed in the Road
Course Alignment Recommendations table
previously shown.
Note: After your track day is complete,
return your car to the street alignment and
tire pressures. Aerodynamics
(If Equipped)
Adjustable Rear Wing
The rear wing generates aerodynamic
down-force at speeds greater than 50 mph
(80 km/h)
.
Regularly inspect the rear wing panel and
attachment points for damage or
looseness.
You can adjust the wing using the hole
pattern at the top of the stanchion.
Moving the wing up increases rear down
force and overall understeer. Moving the
wing down decreases the rear down force
and overall understeer.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR -
MACH 1
Washing Your Vehicle
Note: Do not use a touchless car wash or
any kind of commercial car wash equipment
with front splitter wickers installed.
Note: Always hand wash your vehicle if you
have vinyl stripes.
Do not drive your vehicle through an
automated, commercial car wash due to
the vehicle ’s low ground clearance and tire
width. Wash your vehicle by hand, or by
using a touchless commercial wash with
no mechanical tracks on the floor. Do not
use a power washer or high pressure wand.
To maintain proper cooling and
aerodynamics at high speeds, your vehicle
has heat exchangers integrated with the
front fascia designed to maximize
performance. Do not use a power washer
or high powered spray nozzle as damage
to the cooling fins could occur. Note:
For heavy accumulation of debris or
dirt, clean with a non-metallic soft bristle
car wash brush and warm soapy water as
needed.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or
lukewarm water and a neutral pH
shampoo, we recommend Motorcraft
Detail Wash.
• Never use strong household detergents
or soap, for example dish washing or
laundry liquid. These products can
discolor and spot painted surfaces.
• Never wash your vehicle when it is hot
to the touch, or during strong or direct
sunlight.
• Dry your vehicle with a chamois or soft
terry cloth towel to eliminate water
spotting.
• Immediately remove fuel spillages, bird
droppings, insect deposits and road tar.
These may cause damage to your
vehicle ’s paintwork or trim over time.
We recommend Motorcraft Bug and
Tar Remover.
