STEERING
Electric Power Steering
WARNING: The electric powersteering system has diagnostic checksthat continuously monitor the system. Ifa fault is detected, a message displaysin the information display. Stop yourvehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.Switch the ignition off. After at least 10seconds, switch the ignition on andwatch the information display for asteering system warning message. If asteering system warning messagereturns, have the system checked assoon as possible.
WARNING: If the system detectsan error, you may not feel a difference inthe steering, however a serious conditionmay exist. Have your vehicle checked assoon as possible. Failure to do so mayresult in loss of steering control.
Your vehicle has an electric power steeringsystem, there is no fluid reservoir, nomaintenance is required.
If your vehicle loses electrical power whileyou are driving, electric power steeringassistance is lost. The steering system stilloperates and you can steer your vehiclemanually. Manually steering your vehiclerequires more effort.
Extreme continuous steering may increasethe effort required for you to steer yourvehicle, this increased effort preventsoverheating and permanent damage tothe steering system. You do not lose theability to steer your vehicle manually.Typical steering and driving maneuversallow the system to cool and return tonormal operation.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•Correct tire pressures.
•Uneven tire wear.
•Loose or worn suspensioncomponents.
•Loose or worn steering components.
•Improper vehicle alignment.
Note:A high crown in the road or highcrosswinds may also make the steeringseem to wander or pull.

REDUCED ENGINE
PERFORMANCE
WARNING: If you continue to driveyour vehicle when the engine isoverheating, the engine could stopwithout warning. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in the loss ofcontrol of your vehicle.
If the engine coolant temperature gaugeneedle moves to the upper limit position,the engine is overheating. See Gauges(page 90).
You must only drive your vehicle for a shortdistance if the engine overheats. Thedistance you can travel depends onambient temperature, vehicle load andterrain. The engine continues to operatewith limited power for a short period oftime.
If the engine temperature continues to rise,the fuel supply to the engine reduces. Theair conditioning switches off and the enginecooling fan operates continually.
1.Gradually reduce your speed and stopyour vehicle as soon as it is safe to doso.
2.Immediately switch the engine off toprevent severe engine damage.
3.Wait for the engine to cool down.
4.Check the coolant level. See EngineCoolant Check (page 265).
5.Have your vehicle checked as soon aspossible.
Reduced Vehicle Top Speed
Your vehicle's ability to reach and maintaintop speed is partially dependent uponambient temperature. Under certainenvironmental conditions, your vehicle'stop speed may be reduced to protectpowertrain components.
COLD WEATHER
PRECAUTIONS
The functional operation of somecomponents and systems can be affectedat temperatures below approximately-13°F (-25°C).
BREAKING-IN
Your vehicle requires a break-in period. Forthe first 1,000 mi (1,600 km), avoid drivingat high speeds, heavy braking, aggressiveshifting or using your vehicle to tow. Duringthis time, your vehicle may exhibit someunusual driving characteristics.
Ground Clearance
Since ground clearance is reduced, usecaution when approaching curbs or curbstops from the front and rear as vehicledamage may occur. Additionally, whencrossing speed bumps or driveway curbs,you should approach at a 45 degree angleto reduce the risk of vehicle damage.
DRIVING ECONOMICALLY
The following helps to improve fuelconsumption:
•Drive smoothly, accelerate gently andanticipate the road ahead to avoidheavy braking.
•Regularly check your tire pressures andmake sure that they are inflated to thecorrect pressure.

TRACK USE - MACH 1
Operating at High Speeds andTrack Days
Your vehicle is capable of sustained highspeeds and track day driving.
Before operating your vehicle at highspeeds:
•Verify your tires have the correctpressures.
•Inspect wheels and tires for wear anddamage. Replace any damaged wheelsand tires.
•Check and set lug nut torque. SeeTechnical Specifications (page 336).
•Verify fluid levels for oil, coolant, brakeand hydraulic fluid. See Capacitiesand Specifications (page 337).
•Change the engine oil and replace theengine oil filter prior to use on the track.Change the engine oil and filter againafter every four hours of track time.Maintain the engine oil level at or nearthe max mark on the engine oil dipstick.See Engine Oil Check (page 262).
•Replace the brake fluid with freshMotorcraft/Ford DOT 4 LV HighPerformance Brake Fluid or other DOTcompliant fluid with a dry boiling pointgreater than 500°F (260°C) from asealed container. Do not use siliconeor DOT 5 brake fluids.
•If you are operating your Mach 1 on adrag strip, use drag strip selectabledrive mode in addition to using line lockand launch control to provide a specificset-up tuned for the quickest straightline elapsed times.
•If you are operating your Mach 1 on aroad course, use sport or trackselectable drive modes to provide aspecific set-up tuned for optimal shiftand suspension set-up that is tunedtowards handling prowess on closedcourse surfaces.
After operating your vehicle at high speedsor track day driving, do the following:
•Set the tire pressure to the properspecification.
•Check and set the lug nut torque. SeeTechnical Specifications (page 336).
•Check all fluid levels.
•Refer to the track maintenance intervalchart. See Normal ScheduledMaintenance (page 452).
•Check the front and rear wheelbearings for abnormal wear.
•Inspect brake caliper dust boots forabnormal wear.
Track Apps
WARNING: Track Apps™ is fortrack use only. Remember that evenadvanced technology cannot defy thelaws of physics. It is always possible tolose control of a vehicle due toinappropriate driver input for theconditions. Aggressive driving on anyroad condition can cause you to losecontrol of your vehicle increasing the riskof personal injury or property damage.

Note:If you apply the brake pedal whileline lock is engaged, line lock automaticallycancels and normal brake function resumes.
Performance Shift Indicator
The performance shift indicator displaysa row of colored lights that representengine RPM.
The performance shift indicator menuallows you to:
•Choose whether the indicator is shownon the windshield or informationdisplay.
•Set a shift point within the allowableRPM range in increments of 100.
•Enable or disable the associated shifttone, based on the set shift point.
•Set the between off, change with drivemode, tach, track and drag.
•Set the light intensity. The intensityadjusts between day time and nighttime.
