2022 FORD MUSTANG brake

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 337).
• Verify fluid levels for oil, coolant, brake
and hydraulic fluid. See
Capacities
and Specifications (page 338).
• 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 263).
• 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
337).
• Check all fluid levels.
• Refer to the track maintenance interval
chart. See
Normal Scheduled
Maintenance (page 452).
• 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.

Line Lock
Line lock is a feature intended for use at
tracks only and should not be used on
public roadways. Use of this feature may
result in significantly increased rear tire
wear. It is intended to condition the rear
tires to maximize traction prior to track use.
Line lock maintains brake force at the front
wheels, allowing the rear wheels to spin
with minimal vehicle movement.
This feature is located in the Track Apps
menu. Make selections through the 5-way
information display control and OK button
located on the steering wheel.
Using Line Lock
There are three line lock stages:
•
Initiated.
• Engaged.
• Off.
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.
Performance Shift Indicator
The performance shift indicator displays
a row of colored lights that represent
engine RPM.
The performance shift indicator menu
allows you to:
• Choose whether the indicator is shown
on the windshield or information
display.
• Set a shift point within the allowable
RPM range in increments of 100.
• Enable or disable the associated shift
tone, based on the set shift point.
• Set the between off, change with drive
mode, tach, track and drag.
• Set the light intensity. The intensity
adjusts between day time and night
time. Start Option
Allows you to select the type of countdown
the information display shows before
starting an event.
Status Screen
Provides the status of your chosen
performance-related settings.
View/Clear Results
Allows you to view and clear the last and
saved results of the Acceleration Timer,
Brake Performance, and All Time Best
results.
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.

Note:
The Gurney flap comes with longer
size bolts to install it onto the rear spoiler.
Do not use the longer size bolts without
the Gurney flap attached or damage to
the spoiler may occur.
Brake Burnishing
The brakes should be properly burnished
prior to heavy track use. Excessive brake
noise may occur after the track burnish or
track use. Perform this procedure in a safe
manner on dry pavement, and in
compliance with all local and state
ordinances and laws regarding motor
vehicle operation. How to Burnish the Brakes
Initial low temperature bedding:
•
If your brakes already have 200 mi
(322 km) or more of city driving, skip
this step and go directly to the high
temperature bedding cycle procedure.
Otherwise, perform at least 30 stops
from
50 mph (80 km/h) at 1/3 g
deceleration with 1 mi (1.2 km) spacing
between stops. A deceleration gauge
can be accessed through the
TrackApps menu in your information
display.
High temperature bedding cycle:
• Beginning with cool brakes, perform 15
consecutive stops back to back,
accelerating at 3/4 throttle to
80 mph
(128 km/h) and braking to 20 mph
(32 km/h) at 1.0 g deceleration. The
brakes may omit an odor or smoke
during this part of the procedure.
Cool down:
• Cool the brakes down by driving one or
two laps, 5 mi (8 km)
, at 60 mph
(96 km/h) with minimal to no brake
usage.
Recovery low temperature bedding:
• Perform at least 30 stops from 50 mph
(80 km/h)
at 1/3 g deceleration with
0.7 mi (1.2 km) spacing between stops.
A deceleration gauge can be accessed
through the TrackApps menu in your
information display.

TRACK USE
Appropriately change the engine oil for
racing and other track events:
•
2.3L: Prior to the track event, drain the
engine oil, replace the oil filter and
change the engine oil to 5W-50. After
the track event, drain the engine oil,
replace the oil filter and refill the engine
oil with 5W-30. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 346).
• 5.0L: Prior to the track event, drain the
engine oil, replace the oil filter and
change the engine oil to 5W-30. After
the track event, drain the engine oil,
replace the oil filter and refill the engine
oil with 5W-20.
See Capacities and
Specifications (page 346).
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 263).
