2021 FORD MUSTANG ABS

as well as the elimination of a convertible.
The automotive performance world soon
came to a screeching halt in the wake of
an oil embargo and resulting gas
shortages, forcing most Americans to
abandon their muscle cars and
V-8-powered rides in favor of smaller,
more fuel-efficient vehicles. Ford saw the
market shift as the perfect time to return
its pony car to its roots – a compact,
affordable, sporty car whose styling and
image captured the spirit and imagination
of the American public.
When the new-from-the-ground-up,
second-generation Mustang II was
launched for the 1974 model year, it was
the first Mustang equipped with a
four-cylinder engine. An all-new 2.3-liter
I-4 produced around 90 horses as the
standard powerplant for the downsized
Mustang II - yet performance was roughly
equivalent to the previous Mustang’
s big
inline six. The Mustang II was available as
a hardtop two-door notchback coupe or a
three-door hatchback-style fastback.
Buyers had a choice of either I-4 or V-6
power, as well as a three-speed automatic
or four-speed manual transmissions. To
keep Mustang’ s performance image going
even in a world where consumers favored
fuel economy over horsepower, an
enthusiast-focused Mustang II Mach 1
model was offered as a three-door
hatchback-style fastback, replete with
bucket seats.
There ’s little question that the saving grace
for the Mustang II’ s performance
reputation came when Ford finally realized
it needed to put the 302 V-8 back onto the
Mustang option list for 1975-78. The V-8
was available in any model, but first only
mated to a three-speed automatic
transmission, as a four-speed manual was
delayed a full year until a suitable clutch
could be tooled up. The two-barrel 302
shoehorned into the Mustang II got
catalytic converters to help meet 1976 ’s tighter emissions standards, and saw an
increase to 139 horsepower – nearly equal
to the ’
73’s standard V-8 power level. The
Mach 1’ s optional Competition Suspension
package offered stiffer springs, adjustable
shock absorbers and fatter front and rear
stabilizer bars to improve handling, and
kept it a popular enthusiast choice over all
five years of Mustang II's production. By
the dawn of the third-generation Mustang,
the Mach name would not return again to
the Mustang line until some 25 years later.
After the 1979-93 Fox Body Mustang years
had come and gone with the reintroduction
of a GT model, new sheet metal on a
revamped SN-95 platform helped to
rekindle consumer interest in a
fourth-generation Ford Mustang.
Enthusiasts lavished their attention upon
the 1993-1999 Mustang Cobra
performance model developed by the Ford
Special Vehicle Team skunkworks group,
while Ford engineers looked to specialty
models to fill the mid-market slot between
the standard Mustang GT and the
upmarket Cobra.
After the success of the 2001 Bullitt, a
new-for-2003 Mach 1 was launched to
offer fans some design cues from its '69
namesake, including a blackout hood,
black front air-dam extension and rear
decklid spoiler – even bodyside scoops. To
match its aggressive look and hardware
upgrades, the '03 Mach 1 was powered by
a 305-horsepower, 4.6L DOHC modular
V-8. Unlike the SVT Cobra, the Mach 1
offered an automatic transmission option
in lieu of the manual, and consequently
drew a new group of enthusiast buyers into
the Ford fold. The strong customer
response prompted another year of Mach
1 production for 2004, the Mustang's final
year on the fourth-gen platform.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel
tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank
may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
and fire. WARNING:
The fuel system may
be under pressure. If you hear a hissing
sound near the fuel filler inlet, do not
refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out, which could cause
serious personal injury. WARNING: Fuels can cause serious
injury or death if misused or mishandled. WARNING:
Fuel may contain
benzene, which is a cancer-causing
agent. WARNING: When refueling always
shut the engine off and never allow
sparks or open flames near the fuel tank
filler valve. Never smoke or use a cell
phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is
extremely hazardous under certain
conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes.
Follow these guidelines when refueling:
• Extinguish all smoking materials and
any open flames before refueling your
vehicle.
• Always switch the engine off before
refueling.
• Automotive fuels can be harmful or
fatal if swallowed. Fuel is highly toxic
and if swallowed can cause death or
permanent injury. If fuel is swallowed
immediately call a physician, even if no
symptoms are immediately apparent.
The toxic effects of fuel may not be
apparent for hours. •
Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling fuel
vapor can lead to eye and respiratory
tract irritation. In severe cases,
excessive or prolonged breathing of
fuel vapor can cause serious illness and
permanent injury.
• Avoid getting fuel in your eyes. If you
splash fuel in your eyes, immediately
remove contact lenses (if worn), flush
with water for 15 minutes and seek
medical attention. Failure to seek
proper medical attention could lead to
permanent injury.
• Fuels can be harmful if absorbed
through the skin. If you splash fuel on
your skin, clothing or both, promptly
remove contaminated clothing and
thoroughly wash your skin with soap
and water. Repeated or prolonged skin
contact causes skin irritation.
• Be particularly careful if you are taking
Antabuse or other forms of Disulfiram
for the treatment of alcoholism.
Breathing fuel vapors could cause an
adverse reaction, serious personal
injury or sickness. Immediately call a
physician if you experience any adverse
reactions.

EMISSION LAW
WARNING: Do not remove or alter
the original equipment floor covering or
insulation between it and the metal floor
of the vehicle. The floor covering and
insulation protect occupants of the
vehicle from the engine and exhaust
system heat and noise. On vehicles with
no original equipment floor covering
insulation, do not carry passengers in a
manner that permits prolonged skin
contact with the metal floor. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in
fire or personal injury.
U.S. federal laws and certain state laws
prohibit removing or rendering inoperative
emission control system components.
Similar federal or provincial laws may
apply in Canada. We do not approve of any
vehicle modification without first
determining applicable laws. Tampering with emissions
control systems including
related sensors can result in
reduced engine power and the illumination
of the service engine soon light.
Tampering With a Noise Control
System
Federal laws prohibit the following acts:
• Removal or rendering inoperative by
any person other than for purposes of
maintenance.
• Repair or replacement of any device or
element of the design incorporated into
a new vehicle for the purpose of noise
control prior to its sale or delivery to
the ultimate purchaser or while it is in
use.
• The use of the vehicle after any person
removes or renders inoperative any
device or element of the design. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
may presume to constitute tampering as
follows:
•
Removal of hood blanket, fender apron
absorbers, fender apron barriers,
underbody noise shields or acoustically
absorptive material.
• Tampering or rendering inoperative the
engine speed governor, to allow engine
speed to exceed manufacturer
specifications.
If the engine does not start, runs rough,
experiences a decrease in engine
performance, experiences excess fuel
consumption or produces excessive
exhaust smoke, check for the following:
• A plugged or disconnected air inlet
system hose.
• A plugged engine air filter element.
• A clogged fuel filter.
• Contaminated fuel.
• Air in the fuel system, due to loose
connections.
• Fuel system leaks, due to loose
connections.
• An open or pinched sensor hose.
• Incorrect engine oil level.
• Incorrect fuel for climatic conditions.
• Incorrect engine oil viscosity for
climactic conditions.
Note: Some vehicles have a lifetime fuel
filter that is integrated with the fuel tank.
Regular maintenance or replacement is not
needed.
Note: If these checks do not help you
correct the concern, see your authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
