STEERING
To help prevent damage to the power
steering system:
•
Never hold the steering wheel at its
furthest turning points (until it stops)
for more than three to five seconds
when the engine is running.
•
Do not operate the vehicle with a low
hydraulic fluid level. See
•
Some noise is normal during operation.
If excessive, check for low hydraulic
fluid level before seeking service by
your dealer.
•
Heavy or uneven efforts may be caused
by low hydraulic fluid. Check for low
hydraulic fluid level before seeking
service by your dealer.
•
Do not over fill the hydraulic fluid as
this may result in leaks from the
reservoir. See
If the power steering system breaks down
(or if the engine is off), you can manually
steer the vehicle, but it takes more effort.
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•
An improperly inflated tire.
•
Uneven tire wear.
•
Loose or worn suspension
components.
•
Loose or worn steering components.
•
Improper vehicle alignment.
A high crown in the road or high crosswinds
may also make the steering seem to
wander or pull.
DRIVE MODE CONTROL
Drive Mode Selection
Your vehicle has five selectable drive
modes that deliver an enhanced driving
experience through a suite of sophisticated
electronic vehicle systems. In response to
vehicle use and driving conditions, the
selection of the drive mode optimizes
handling and powertrain response. This
provides a single location to control
multiple systems performance settings.
Using Selectable Drive Modes
E227821
To change the drive mode setting, use the
rotary switch on the left side of the steering
wheel.
Note:
To engage or disengage Track or
V-Max Drive Modes, the car must be at a
stop with the transmission in park (P) and
the engine running. This is necessary since
the vehicle ride height changes. You can
change between Normal, Wet and Sport
Drive Modes while the vehicle is in motion.

Front Lift
WARNING:
Before using front lift,
make sure the area around your vehicle
is free from obstruction. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury or death.
Your vehicle has a front lift system to
provide additional front end clearance
when approaching a speed bump,
driveway ramp or another similar surface
where front end clearance could be a
concern.
E229612
The front lift button is located on the
center console. Press the button to lift the
front end of your vehicle. Press the button
again to return to normal ride height. A
warning indicator illuminates in the display
screen when the system is on. When you
shut the engine off, the car returns to
normal ride height. Remember to use the
front lift again when needed, for example
when backing out of a driveway.
Note:
The front lift feature only operates if
your vehicle is traveling under 25 mph
(40 km/h). If your vehicle exceeds this
speed, the system automatically returns
your vehicle to normal ride height.
Note:
The front lift feature does not
function when in Track (T) or V-Max (V)
drive modes.
Damper Comfort Mode
E229613
You can change the feel of the suspension
by pressing the damper comfort button on
the center console. An indicator illuminates
in the display screen when the system is
active. The comfort mode operates at
speeds up to 85 mph (137 km/h).
Pressing the damper comfort button
softens the suspension. Pressing the
button again returns the suspension to the
normal setting.
Note:
The comfort mode selection does
not function when in Sport (S), Track (T)
or V-Max (V) drive modes.
Active Aerodynamics
The rear wing is a tri-state device designed
to operate automatically in either a
low-drag (down), high downforce (up) or
airbrake mode depending on the vehicle
demands.
123
Driving Aids
The rear wing works in harmony with the
bi-state front splitter. The front splitter has
a raised leading edge so that the surfaces
underneath and immediately downstream
of it create a Venturi effect and lower the
air pressure creating downforce on the
front wheels. In normal (low-drag)
operation, the Venturi effect draws air
through ducts that connect the upper
surface of the splitter just below the
radiator intake. This reduces drag and
eliminates unnecessary front downforce.
When the rear wing moves out of the
low-drag position, and to compensate for
the increase in grip capability from the rear
tires, the front splitter automatically
compensates by closing off airflow through
the ducts causing an increase in front
downforce. The operation of this system
is entirely automatic and is dependent on
the rear-wing state and the drive mode
selected.
For information on raising the rear wing for
cleaning, See
124
Driving Aids
REAR UNDER HATCH
STORAGE
Your vehicle has a storage compartment
under the rear hatch.
Note:
Avoid placing items in the storage
compartment that could be affected by
temperature, as this area is subject to both
high and low temperatures.
LOAD LIMIT
Vehicle Loading - with and
without a Trailer
This section guides you in the
proper loading of your vehicle,
trailer, or both. Keep your loaded
vehicle weight within its design
rating capability, with or without
a trailer. Properly loading your
vehicle provides maximum return
of vehicle design performance.
Before you load your vehicle,
become familiar with the
following terms for determining
your vehicle’s weight rating, with
or without a trailer, from the
vehicle’s Tire and Loading
Information label or Safety
Compliance Certification label.
Tire and Loading Label Information
Example:
E198719
Payload
Payload is the combined weight
of cargo and passengers that your
vehicle is carrying. The maximum
payload for your vehicle appears
on the Tire and Loading label. The
label is either on the B-pillar or the
edge of the driver door. Vehicles
exported outside the US and
Canada may not have a tire and
loading label. Look for “The
combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg OR XXX lb” for maximum
payload. The payload listed on the
Tire and Loading Information label
125
Load Carrying
is the maximum payload for your
vehicle as built by the assembly
plant. If you install any additional
equipment on your vehicle, you
must determine the new payload.
Subtract the weight of the
equipment from the payload listed
on the Tire and Loading label.
When towing, trailer tongue
weight or king pin weight is also
part of payload.
Note:
Your Ford GT is not designed
for trailer towing. Never tow a
trailer with your Ford GT.
WARNING:
The
appropriate loading capacity of
your vehicle can be limited either
by volume capacity (how much
space is available) or by payload
capacity (how much weight the
vehicle should carry). Once you
have reached the maximum
payload of your vehicle, do not
add more cargo, even if there is
space available. Overloading or
improperly loading your vehicle
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and vehicle rollover.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight
Rating)
GAWR is the maximum allowable
weight that a single axle (front or
rear) can carry. These numbers
are on the Safety Compliance
Certification label. The label is
located on the door hinge pillar,
door-latch post, or the door edge
that meets the door-latch post,
next to the driver seating position.
The total load on each axle must
never exceed its Gross Axle
Weight Rating.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating)
GVWR is the maximum allowable
weight of the fully loaded vehicle.
This includes all options,
equipment, passengers and cargo.
It appears on the Safety
Compliance Certification label.
The label is located on the door
hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the
door edge that meets the
door-latch post, next to the driver
seating position.
The gross vehicle weight must
never exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating.
126
Load Carrying
Safety Compliance Certification Label
Example:
E198828
WARNING:
Exceeding the
Safety Compliance Certification
label vehicle weight limits can
adversely affect the
performance and handling of
your vehicle, cause vehicle
damage and can result in the
loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death.
Maximum Loaded Trailer
Weight
Note:
Your Ford GT is not designed
for trailer towing. Never tow a
trailer with your Ford GT.
GCWR (Gross Combined
Weight Rating)
GCWR is the maximum allowable
weight of the vehicle and the
loaded trailer, including all cargo
and passengers, that the vehicle
can handle without risking
damage.
The gross combined weight must
never exceed the Gross Combined
Weight Rating.
Note:
Your Ford GT is not designed
for trailer towing. Never tow a
trailer with your Ford GT.
WARNING:
Do not exceed
the GVWR or the GAWR
specified on the certification
label.
WARNING:
Do not use
replacement tires with lower
load carrying capacities than the
original tires because they may
lower your vehicle's GVWR and
GAWR limitations. Replacement
tires with a higher limit than the
original tires do not increase the
GVWR and GAWR limitations.
WARNING:
Exceeding any
vehicle weight rating can
adversely affect the
performance and handling of
your vehicle, cause vehicle
damage and can result in the
loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death.
Steps for determining the
correct load limit:
1. Locate the statement "The
combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lb." on your
vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined
weight of the driver and
passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.
127
Load Carrying
3. Subtract the combined weight
of the driver and passengers
from XXX kg or XXX lb.
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For
example, if the “XXX” amount
equals 1,400 lb. and there will
be five 150 lb. passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lb.
(1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lb.)
5. Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the
available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
Helpful examples for calculating
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity
Suppose your vehicle has a
1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargo
and luggage capacity. You decide
to go golfing. Is there enough load
capacity to carry you, four of your
friends and all the golf bags? You
and four friends average 220
pounds (99 kilograms) each and
the golf bags weigh approximately
30 pounds (13.5 kilograms) each.
The calculation would be: 1400 -
(5 x 220) - (5 x 30) = 1400 - 1100
- 150 = 150 pounds. Yes, you have
enough load capacity in your
vehicle to transport four friends
and your golf bags. In metric units,
the calculation would be: 635
kilograms - (5 x 99 kilograms) -
(5 x 13.5 kilograms) = 635 - 495 -
67.5 = 72.5 kilograms.
Suppose your vehicle has a
1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargo
and luggage capacity. You and
one of your friends decide to pick
up cement from the local home
improvement store to finish that
patio you have been planning for
the past two years. Measuring the
inside of the vehicle with the rear
seat folded down, you have room
for twelve 100-pound
(45-kilogram) bags of cement. Do
you have enough load capacity to
transport the cement to your
home? If you and your friend each
weigh 220 pounds (99 kilograms),
the calculation would be: 1400 -
(2 x 220) - (12 x 100) = 1400 - 440
- 1200 = - 240 pounds. No, you do
not have enough cargo capacity
to carry that much weight. In
metric units, the calculation would
be: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99
kilograms) - (12 x 45 kilograms) =
635 - 198 - 540 = -103 kilograms.
You will need to reduce the load
weight by at least 240 pounds
(104 kilograms). If you remove
three 100-pound (45-kilogram)
cement bags, then the load
calculation would be:1400 - (2 x
220) - (9 x 100) = 1400 - 440 -
128
Load Carrying
900 = 60 pounds. Now you have
the load capacity to transport the
cement and your friend home. In
metric units, the calculation would
be: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99
kilograms) - (9 x 45 kilograms) =
635 - 198 - 405 = 32 kilograms.
The above calculations also
assume that the loads are
positioned in your vehicle in a
manner that does not overload
the front or the rear gross axle
weight rating specified for your
vehicle on the Safety Compliance
Certification label.

TOWING A TRAILER
Note:
Your Ford GT is not designed
for trailer towing. Never tow a
trailer with your Ford GT.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON
FOUR WHEELS
Emergency Towing
You can release the steering wheel lock by
starting the engine or by pressing the
START/STOP button with your foot off
the brake.
If your Ford GT must be transported,
whenever possible, use an enclosed trailer,
an open car trailer, or a roll back car carrier.
If you must move the car on its wheels,
install the recovery hook provided in the
rear hatch storage. This recovery hook
should be screwed into the receptacle
located in the right corner of the front grille.
Once installed, use the recovery hook to
pull the car.

Towing
BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 mi (480 km). During
this time, your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics.
You should not drive your Ford GT
aggressively for the first 600 mi
(1,000 km) of vehicle operation. This will
allow for proper break in of the powertrain
and braking systems.
For the first 600 mi (1,000 km):
•
Do not apply high load at low engine
speed.
•
Do not drive the vehicle at a sustained
high-speed, high load.
•
Avoid driving the vehicle at full throttle.
•
Drive the vehicle at varying road and
engine speeds.
•
Do not drive in competition and race
track conditions.
•
Do not use launch control.
•
If you are going to use the vehicle on
the race track right after break in,
change the oil after break in.
Cold Engine Operation
The design of your Ford GT restricts engine
power and RPM when the engine is cold.
The engine RPM and power output will be
reduced until the engine reaches full
operating temperature.
Hot Engine Shut down
You should allow your Ford GT engine to
cool down for a few minutes prior to shut
down after high speed or high performance
driving. Allowing the engine to run at light
loads and or idle for a few minutes will
reduce overall engine oil and coolant
temperatures.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
WARNING:
Do not drive through
flowing or deep water as you may lose
control of your vehicle.
Note:
Driving through standing water can
cause vehicle damage.
Note:
Engine damage can occur if water
enters the air filters.
Before driving through standing water,
check the depth. Do not drive through
water that is higher than the sidewall of
the front tire. If the water is up onto the
wheel, do not proceed. When driving
through a puddle, drive slowly to avoid
splashing the water into the engine air
intake.
E232273
When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction may
be limited.
After driving through water and as soon as
it is safe to do so:
•
Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the
brakes and to check that they work.
•
Check that the horn works.
131
Driving Hints
•
Check that the exterior lights work.
•
Turn the steering wheel to check that
the steering power assist works.
FLOOR MATS
WARNING:
Use a floor mat
designed to fit the footwell of your
vehicle that does not obstruct the pedal
area. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING:
Pedals that cannot
move freely can cause loss of vehicle
control and increase the risk of serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Secure the floor mat
to both retention devices so that it
cannot slip out of position and interfere
with the pedals. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death.
WARNING:
Do not place additional
floor mats or any other covering on top
of the original floor mats. This could
result in the floor mat interfering with the
operation of the pedals. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death.
WARNING:
Always make sure that
objects cannot fall into the driver foot
well while your vehicle is moving. Objects
that are loose can become trapped
under the pedals causing a loss of
vehicle control.
E142666
To install floor mats that have eyelets,
position the floor mat eyelet over the
retention post and press down to lock in
position. Repeat for all eyelets on the floor
mat.
