Introduction

This Owner’s Guide describes every option and model variant available and therefore some of the items covered may not apply to your particular vehicle. Furthermore, due to printing cycles it may describe options before they are generally available. Remember to pass on this Owner’s Guide when reselling the vehicle. It is an integral part of the vehicle.

Fuel pump shut-off switch: In the event of an accident the safety switch will

automatically cut off the fuel supply to the engine. The switch can also be activated through sudden vibration (e.g. collision when parking). To reset the switch, refer to the Fuel pump shut-off switch in the Roadside Emergencies chapter.

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

Warning symbols in this guide

How can you reduce the risk of personal injury and prevent possible damage to others, your vehicle and its equipment? In this guide, answers to such questions are contained in comments highlighted by the warning triangle symbol. These comments should be read and observed.

Warning symbols on your vehicle

When you see this symbol, it is imperative that you consult the relevant section of this guide before touching or attempting adjustment of any kind.

2004 04- Mustang (mus) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)

Introduction

Protecting the environment We must all play our part in protecting the environment. Correct vehicle usage and the authorized disposal of waste, cleaning and lubrication materials are significant steps towards this aim. Information in this respect is highlighted in this guide with the tree symbol.

BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the moving parts a chance to break in. Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during the first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation, since these additives may prevent piston ring seating. See Engine oil in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter for more information on oil usage.

SPECIAL NOTICES

Emission warranty The New Vehicle Limited Warranty includes Bumper-to-Bumper Coverage, Safety Restraint Coverage, Corrosion Coverage, and 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel Engine Coverage. In addition, your vehicle is eligible for Emissions Defect and Emissions Performance Warranties. For a detailed description of what is covered and what is not covered, refer to the Warranty Guide that is provided to you along with your Owner’s Guide.

Introduction

Special instructions For your added safety, your vehicle is fitted with sophisticated electronic controls.

Please read the section Supplemental restraint system (SRS) in the Seating and

Safety Restraints chapter. Failure to follow the specific warnings and instructions could result in personal injury.

Front seat mounted rear-facing child or infant seats should NEVER be placed in

front of an active passenger air bag.

Service Data Recording Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially includes information about the performance or status of various systems and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may access vehicle diagnostic information through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing your vehicle.

2004 04- Mustang (mus) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)

Introduction

Event Data Recording Other modules in your vehicle — event data recorders — are capable of collecting and storing data during a crash or near crash event. The recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event. The modules may record information about both the vehicle and the occupants, potentially including information such as: • how various systems in your vehicle were • whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts • how far (if at all) the driver was depressing the • how fast the vehicle was traveling; and • where the driver was positioning the steering

accelerator and/or the brake pedal;

were buckled;

operating;

wheel.

To access this information, special equipment must be directly connected to the recording modules. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada do not access event data recorder information without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court order or where required by law enforcement, other government authorities or other third parties acting with lawful authority. Other parties may seek to access the information independently of Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON

Service engine soon: The Service engine soon indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON position to check the bulb. Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to On board diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced immediately.

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures could damage the

catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

CHECK FUEL CAP

Check fuel cap: Illuminates when the fuel cap may not be properly installed. Continued driving with this light on may cause the Service engine soon light to come on. Refer to Fuel filler cap in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter. Brake system warning light: To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, it will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON position when the engine is not running, or in a position between ON and START, or by applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned to the ON position. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this time, seek service immediately from your dealership. Illumination after releasing the parking

Your MACH威 MP3 player is also equipped with an anti-shock buffer for MP3 discs.

MP3 FILE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE The MACH威 MP3 music system recognizes MP3 disc file and directory (folder) structure as follows: • There are two different modes for MP3 disc

playback: MP3 flat file mode (default) and MP3
directory mode.

• MP3 flat file mode ignores any directory structure present on the MP3 disc. The player sequentially numbers each MP3 track on the disc (denoted by the .mp3 file extension) from T001 to T255. • MP3 directory mode represents a directory

structure consisting of one level of directories (folders). The CD player sequentially numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (denoted by .mp3
extension) and all directories containing MP3
files, from 01–01 to 99–99. The first two digits denote the directory number and the last two digits denote the track number within that directory.

• Creating discs with only one level of

subdirectories will help with navigation through the disc files.

ERROR MESSAGES You may experience an error message for the following situations: • NO DISC when the CD control is pressed and • DISC ERR when there is a damaged or unreadable disc. Such as, data discs containing no .mp3 files, or for data discs containing more than 255 files or directories.

there is not a CD present.

• CD ERR for any other disc malfunction.

RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS There are three factors that can effect radio reception: • Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power

lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast

tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency is displayed.

MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM 1. Fan speed adjustment: Controls the volume of air circulated in the vehicle. 2. Temperature selection: Controls the temperature of the airflow in the vehicle. 3. Air flow selections: Controls the direction of the airflow in the vehicle. See the following for a brief description on each control. MAX A/C: Uses recirculated air through the instrument panel registers to cool the vehicle. This mode is more noisy than A/C, but is more economical and efficient. May reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. A/C: Uses outside air to cool the vehicle. Air flows from the instrument panel register vents only.

: Distributes outside air through the instrument

panel vents. O (OFF): Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate.

: Distributes outside air through the floor vents. : Distributes outside air through the windshield

defroster vents and floor vents.

: Distributes outside air through the windshield

defroster vents.

OPERATING TIPS • To reduce fog build up on the windshield during

humid weather, place the air flow selector in the

position.

• To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: during cold weather, do not drive with the air flow selector in the OFF or MAX A/C position. during warm weather, do not drive with the air flow selector in the OFF position.

Climate Controls • Under normal weather conditions, do not leave

the air flow selector in MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” using the outside air inlet vents.

• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the air flow to the back seats. • Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air

intake area at the base of the windshield.

Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these objects may

become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER Ensure that the ignition is in the ON position. Press the control to clear the rear window of thin ice and fog. The LED will illuminate. The defroster turns off automatically after 10
minutes or when the ignition is turned OFF. To manually turn off the defroster before 10 minutes, push the control again. Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and will not be covered by your warranty.
