Mach 1 History
The Ford Mustang has been celebratedover the past half-century with manyspecial performance versions, includingseveral unique models that have proudlycarried their own nomenclature. Therehave been HiPos, Shelbys and GTs, plusCalifornia Specials, Bosses, Cobras, SVOsand 5.0s, Cobra Jets and Bullitts – eachwith distinct design cues and equipmentenhancements targeted at specific buyers.Of them all, perhaps the best-known andmost accessible to the widest owner baseis the Mustang Mach 1, a sporty fastbackfirst introduced in 1969 that had the look,features and performance that helpeddefine the muscle car era.
In postwar America, the Jet Age influencewas all the rage -- especially in the autoindustry, where tail fins and air intakesinfluenced progressive car designs. It wasthen when the terms Mach 1 and SoundBarrier became part of public conversation,as jets and rockets were being employedin aeronautic experiments to helphumankind soar past the speed of sound.
Ford’s first use of the Mach 1 name cameon a concept vehicle – a wheel-lesssingle-seat pod tethered to an arm thatallowed it to glide on a cushion of airaround a circular track set up at the FordRotunda in the spring of 1959. Ford’sLevacar Mach 1 Concept was anair-propulsion flying car of sorts,suggesting that vehicles in the future coulduse ducted air to levitate and maneuver athigh speed while off the ground.
The Mach 1 name was resurrected in 1966for another Ford concept car that wasmeant to preview some aerodynamic andstyling advances for a futuristichigh-performance Mustang fastback. Thetwo-seat Mustang Mach 1 Concept thatwas shown at the 1967 Detroit Auto Showfeatured a slanted areo-grille, severelychopped roof, large air scoops and steeplyslanted rear glass as part of a fullhatchback -- a design feature thatwouldn’t appear in production until 1974.Ford updated the Mustang Mach 1 Conceptwith a new front-end treatment in time fortouring the auto show circuit in 1968 toherald the popular pony car’s third stylingrefresh due the following year.
By the time 1969 had rolled around, theagain restyled and upsized Ford Mustangwas facing a series of new challenges, bothin the muscle car wars taking place out inthe marketplace by an onslaught ofpowerful new competitors, and inside ofFord Motor Company, where a new, Steedfor Every Need marketing approachexpanded pony car offerings to five distinctmodels with at least 10 differentpowertrain combinations. Ford's Mustanghad galloped into its fifth model yearrefreshed with unmistakable good looks,thanks to its 2+2 fastback now called theSportsRoof, featuring upper rear-quarterscut with forward-facing scoops and adramatic tail that incorporated an upsweptrear edge.

(IF EQUIPPED)
Traction-Lok™ and TORSEN™Axles
These axles provide improved traction onslippery and loose surfaces, particularlywhen one wheel is on a poor tractionsurface. Under normal conditions, theseaxles function like a standard rear axle.
Extended use of tire sizes other than themanufacturer’s specified tire size on theseaxles could result in a permanent reductionin effectiveness. This loss does not affectyour normal driving and should not benoticeable.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING: Vehicle modificationsinvolving braking system, aftermarketroof racks, suspension, steering system,tire construction and wheel and tire sizemay change the handling characteristicsof your vehicle and may adversely affectthe performance of the electronicstability control system. In addition,installing any stereo loudspeakers mayinterfere with and adversely affect theelectronic stability control system. Installany aftermarket stereo loudspeaker asfar as possible from the front centerconsole, the tunnel, and the front seatsin order to minimize the risk of interferingwith the electronic stability controlsensors. Reducing the effectiveness ofthe electronic stability control systemcould lead to an increased risk of loss ofvehicle control, vehicle rollover, personalinjury and death.
WARNING: Remember that evenadvanced technology cannot defy thelaws of physics. It’s 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.Activation of the electronic stabilitycontrol system is an indication that atleast some of the tires have exceededtheir ability to grip the road; this couldreduce the operator’s ability to controlthe vehicle potentially resulting in a lossof vehicle control, vehicle rollover,personal injury and death. If yourelectronic stability control systemactivates, SLOW DOWN.
The system automatically turns on eachtime you switch the ignition on.
If a fault occurs in either the stabilitycontrol or the traction control system, youmay experience the following conditions:
•The stability and traction control lightilluminates steadily.
•The stability control and tractioncontrol systems do not enhance yourvehicle's ability to maintain traction ofthe wheels.
If a driving condition activates either thestability control or the traction controlsystem you may experience the followingconditions:
•The stability and traction control lightflashes.
•Your vehicle slows down.
•Reduced engine power.
•A vibration in the brake pedal.
•The brake pedal is stiffer than usual.
•If the driving condition is severe andyour foot is not on the brake, the brakepedal may move as the system applieshigher brake force.
The stability control system has severalfeatures built into it to help you maintaincontrol of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
The system enhances your vehicle’s abilityto prevent skids or lateral slides byapplying brakes to one or more of thewheels individually and, if necessary,reducing engine power.
Traction Control
The system enhances your vehicle’s abilityto maintain traction of the wheels bydetecting and controlling wheel spin. SeeUsing Traction Control (page 174).

GENERAL INFORMATION
The recommended tire inflation pressuresare on the tire information label on thedriver side B-pillar.
Check and set the tire pressure at theambient temperature in which you areintending to drive your vehicle and whenthe tires are cold.
Note:Check your tire pressures regularly tooptimize fuel economy.
Only use approved wheel and tire sizes.Using other sizes could damage yourvehicle and could make the National TypeApproval invalid.
Installation of any tires that are not theoriginal equipment tire size can cause thespeedometer to display incorrect vehiclespeed.
TIRE SEALANT AND INFLATOR
KIT (IF EQUIPPED)
Note:The temporary mobility kit containsenough sealant compound in the canisterfor one tire repair only. See your authorizeddealer for replacement sealant canisters.
The kit is under the load floor in the cargoarea. The kit consists of an air compressorto re-inflate the tire and a canister ofsealing compound that effectively sealsmost punctures caused by nails or similarobjects. This kit provides a temporary tirerepair, allowing you to drive your vehicleup to 120 mi (200 km) at a maximumspeed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to reach a tireservice location.
