fuel not recommended will not be covered under warranty. Octane Recommendations Do not be concerned if your engine sometimes knocks lightly. However, if it knocks heavily under most driving conditions while you are using fuel with the recommended octane rating, see your authorized dealer to prevent any engine damage. 2.3L EcoBoost and 5.0L V8 Engines We recommend regular unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Some stations offer fuels posted as regular with an octane rating below 87, particularly in high altitude areas. We do not recommend fuels with an octane rating below 87. To provide improved performance, we recommend premium fuel for severe duty usage, such as trailer tow. 3.7L V6 Engines We recommend regular unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Some stations offer fuels posted as regular with an octane rating below 87, particularly in high altitude areas. We do not recommend fuels with an octane rating below 87. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL Avoid running out of fuel. This situation may have an adverse effect on powertrain components. If you have run out of fuel: 125 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing E161513Fuel and Refueling • You may need to cycle the ignition from off to on several times after refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. On restarting, cranking time will take a few seconds longer than normal. • Normally, adding 1.0 gal (3.8 L) of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than 1.0 gal (3.8 L) may be required. The service engine soon indicator may come on. For more information on the service engine soon indicator, See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 76). For information on calculating DTE (Distance to empty), See Instrument Cluster (page 74). • • Refilling With a Portable Fuel Container WARNINGS Do not insert the nozzle of portable fuel containers or aftermarket funnels into the Easy Fuel “no cap” fuel system. This could damage the fuel system and its seal, and may cause fuel to run onto the ground instead of filling the tank, which could result in serious personal injury. Do not try to pry open or push open the Easy Fuel “no cap” fuel system with foreign objects. This could damage the fuel system and its seal and cause injury to you or others. Note: When filling the vehicle’s fuel tank from a portable fuel container, use the funnel included with the vehicle. With the Easy Fuel capless fuel system, use the following directions when filling from a portable fuel container: 126 1. Locate the white plastic funnel in the spare tire compartment. 2. Slowly insert the portable fuel container into the fuel filler opening. 3. Fill the vehicle with fuel from the portable fuel container. 4. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. You can purchase extra funnels from your authorized dealer if you choose to dispose of the funnel. Do not use aftermarket funnels. They will not work with the Easy Fuel system and can damage it. We have specially designed the included funnel to work safely with your vehicle. REFUELING WARNINGS Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause severe injuries. Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island. When refueling always shut the engine off and never allow sparks or open flames near the fuel tank filler valve. Never smoke or use a cell phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under certain conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes. Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing E142668Fuel and Refueling When fueling your vehicle: 1. When your vehicle has stopped, shift into park (P) and switch the ignition off. 2. Fully open the fuel tank filler door until it engages. 3. Insert the fuel pump nozzle up to the first notch on the nozzle. Hold handle higher during insertion for easier access. Leave the fuel pump nozzle fully inserted until you are done pumping. WARNINGS Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended when refueling your vehicle. This is against the law in some places. Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children pump fuel. Wait at least 10 seconds before removing the fuel pump nozzle to allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank. Stop refueling when the fuel pump nozzle automatically shuts off for the first time. Failure to follow this will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank and could lead to fuel overflowing. Do not remove the fuel pump nozzle from its fully inserted position when refueling. Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up, which can produce a spark, when filling an ungrounded fuel container: • Place approved fuel container on the ground. • • Do not fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the cargo area). Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while filling. • Do not use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill position. Easy Fuel™ Capless Fuel System 4. Remove the fuel filler nozzle and fully close the fuel tank filler door. WARNING The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel filler door, do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious personal injury. 127 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing E156032E154765Fuel and Refueling Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur if overfilling the fuel tank. Do not overfill the tank. The fill pipe is equipped with a drain hole. Excess fuel due to overfill may drain through the drain hole and drip onto the ground. If the fuel fill inlet was not properly closed, a service engine warning lamp may appear on the instrument cluster. At the next opportunity, do the following: 1. Stop your vehicle as soon as safely possible and shift the transmission into park (P). 2. Switch the ignition off. 3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the fuel fill opening. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel fill funnel provided with the vehicle several times to allow the inlet to close properly. This will dislodge any debris preventing the inlet from sealing. 4. If this action corrects the problem, the message may not reset immediately. It may take several driving cycles for the message to turn off. A driving cycle consists of an engine start-up (after 4 or more hours with the engine off) followed by city or highway driving. Continuing to drive with the message on may cause the service engine soon lamp to turn on as well. FUEL CONSUMPTION The advertised capacity is the indicated capacity and the empty reserve combined. Indicated capacity is the difference in the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and when the fuel gauge indicates empty. See Capacities and Specifications (page 271). 128 Note: The amount of fuel in the empty reserve varies and should not be relied upon to increase driving range. Note: When refueling your vehicle after the fuel gauge indicates empty, you might not be able to refuel the full amount of the advertised capacity due to the empty reserve still present in the fuel tank. Filling the Fuel Tank For consistent results when refueling: • Always switch the ignition off before refueling. If you leave the engine running, you will get an inaccurate reading. • Use the same fill rate (low-medium-high) each time you fill the tank. • Allow no more than two automatic shut-offs when refueling. Results are most accurate when the filling method is consistent. Calculating Fuel Economy Do not measure fuel economy during the first 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this is your engine’s break-in period). A more accurate measurement is obtained after 2,000 mi (3,200 km) to 3,000 mi (4,800 km). Also, fuel expense, frequency of fill ups or fuel gauge readings are not accurate ways to measure fuel economy. 1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading. 2. Each time you fill the fuel tank, record the amount of fuel added. 3. After at least three fill ups, fill the fuel tank and record the current odometer reading. 4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer reading. Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing Fuel and Refueling 5. To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100 kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply the liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers traveled. To calculate MPG (miles per gallon) fuel consumption, divide miles traveled by gallons used. Keep a record for at least one month and record the type of driving (city or highway). This provides an accurate estimate of your vehicle’s fuel economy under current driving conditions. Keeping records during summer and winter will show how temperature impacts fuel economy. Conditions • Heavily loading your vehicle reduces fuel economy. • Carrying unnecessary weight in your vehicle may reduce fuel economy. • Adding certain accessories to your vehicle such as bug deflectors, rollbars or light bars, running boards and ski racks may reduce fuel economy. • Using fuel blended with alcohol may lower fuel economy. Fuel economy may decrease with lower temperatures. Fuel economy may decrease when driving short distances. You will get better fuel economy when driving on flat terrain than when driving on hilly terrain. • • • EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARNINGS Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire. WARNINGS Exhaust leaks may result in entry of harmful and potentially lethal fumes into the passenger compartment. If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell exhaust fumes. Your vehicle is equipped with various emission control components and a catalytic converter that will enable your vehicle to comply with applicable exhaust emission standards. To make sure that the catalytic converter and other emission control components continue to work properly: • Use only the specified fuel listed. • Avoid running out of fuel. • Do not turn off the ignition while your vehicle is moving, especially at high speeds. • Have the items listed in scheduled maintenance information performed according to the specified schedule. The scheduled maintenance items listed in scheduled maintenance information are essential to the life and performance of your vehicle and to its emissions system. See Scheduled Maintenance (page 344). If you use parts other than Ford, Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts for maintenance replacements, or for service of components affecting emission control, such non-Ford parts should be the equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company parts in performance and durability. Illumination of the service engine soon indicator, charging system warning light or the temperature warning light, fluid leaks, strange odors, smoke or loss of engine power could indicate that the emission control system is not working properly. 129 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing Fuel and Refueling An improperly operating or damaged exhaust system may allow exhaust to enter the vehicle. Have a damaged or improperly operating exhaust system inspected and repaired immediately. Do not make any unauthorized changes to your vehicle or engine. By law, vehicle owners and anyone who manufactures, repairs, services, sells, leases, trades vehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehicles are not permitted to intentionally remove an emission control device or prevent it from working. Information about your vehicle’s emission system is on the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal located on or near the engine. This decal also lists engine displacement Please consult your warranty information for complete details. On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II) Your vehicle has a computer known as the on-board diagnostics system (OBD-II) that monitors the engine’s emission control system. The system protects the environment by making sure that your vehicle continues to meet government emission standards. The OBD-II system also assists a service technician in properly servicing your vehicle. When the service engine soon indicator illuminates, the OBD-II system has detected a malfunction. Temporary malfunctions may cause the service engine soon indicator to illuminate. Examples of temporary malfunctions are: • the vehicle has run out of fuel—the engine may misfire or run poorly poor fuel quality or water in the fuel—the engine may misfire or run poorly • • • the fuel fill inlet may not have closed properly. See Refueling (page 126). driving through deep water—the electrical system may be wet. You can correct these temporary malfunctions by filling the fuel tank with good quality fuel, properly closing the fuel fill inlet or letting the electrical system dry out. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the service engine soon indicator should stay off the next time you start the engine. A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving. No additional vehicle service is required. If the service engine soon indicator remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity. Although some malfunctions detected by the OBD-II may not have symptoms that are apparent, continued driving with the service engine soon indicator on can result in increased emissions, lower fuel economy, reduced engine and transmission smoothness, and lead to more costly repairs. Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Testing Some state/provincial and local governments may have Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) programs to inspect the emission control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent you from getting a vehicle registration. If the service engine soon indicator is on or the bulb does not work, you may need to have the vehicle serviced. See On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II). 130 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing Fuel and Refueling Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test if the service engine soon indicator is on or not working properly (bulb is burned out), or if the OBD-II system has determined that some of the emission control systems have not been properly checked. In this case, your vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. If the vehicle’s engine or transmission has just been serviced, or the battery has recently run down or been replaced, the OBD-II system may indicate that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. To determine if the vehicle is ready for I/M testing, turn the ignition key to the on position for 15 seconds without cranking the engine. If the service engine soon indicator blinks eight times, it means that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing; if the service engine soon indicator stays on solid, it means that the vehicle is ready for I/M testing. The OBD-II system monitors the emission control system during normal driving. A complete check may take several days. If the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing, you may need to perform the following driving cycle consisting of mixed city and highway driving: Drive on an expressway or highway for a steady 15 minutes, followed by 20 minutes of stop-and-go driving with at least four 30-second idle periods. Allow the vehicle to sit for at least eight hours without starting the engine. Then, start the engine and complete the above driving cycle. The engine must warm up to its normal operating temperature. Once started, do not turn off the engine until the above driving cycle is complete. If the vehicle is still not ready for I/M testing, you will have to repeat the above driving cycle. 131 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing Transmission During each shift, the clutch pedal must be fully pressed to the floor. Make sure the floor mat is properly positioned so it doesn't interfere with the full extension of the clutch pedal. Recommended Shift Speeds Note: Do not downshift into first (1) when your vehicle is moving faster than 15 mph (24 km/h). This will damage the clutch. 2.3L Recommended upshifts (for best fuel economy) when accelerating Shift from: 15 mph (24 km/h) 24 mph (39 km/h) 35 mph (56 km/h) 41 mph (66 km/h) 50 mph (80 km/h) 1 - 2 2 - 3 3 - 4 4 - 5 5 - 6 3.7L with 3.15 Axle Ratio Recommended upshifts (for best fuel economy) when accelerating 1 - 2 2 - 3 3 - 4 4 - 5 5 - 6 Shift from: 13 mph (21 km/h) 26 mph (42 km/h) 37 mph (60 km/h) 43 mph (69 km/h) 59 mph (95 km/h) MANUAL TRANSMISSION Using the Clutch Note: Failure to fully press the clutch pedal to the floor may cause increased shift efforts, prematurely wear transmission components or damage the transmission. Note: Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use the clutch pedal to hold your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill. These actions will reduce the life of the clutch and could nullify a clutch warranty claim. Manual transmission vehicles have a starter interlock that prevents cranking the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully pressed. To start the vehicle: 1. Make sure the parking brake is fully set. 2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then put the gearshift lever in the neutral position. 3. Start the engine. 4. Press the brake pedal and move the gearshift lever to the desired gear; first (1) or reverse (R). 5.

Failure to do so may damage the transmission. 1. Press the clutch pedal to the floor to disengage clutch. 2. Shift into reverse (R) by raising the collar below the gearshift knob up, then moving the lever fully to the left, then forward. 133 Note: The gearshift lever can only be moved to reverse (R) by raising the collar below the gearshift knob up before shifting to reverse. This is a lockout feature which protects the transmission from accidentally engaging reverse (R) when intending to select first (1). If reverse (R) is not fully engaged, press the clutch pedal down and return the gearshift to the neutral position. Release the clutch pedal for a moment, then raise the collar and shift to reverse (R) again. Parking Your Vehicle WARNING Do not park your vehicle in neutral (N), it may move unexpectedly and injure someone. Use first (1) gear and set the parking brake fully. To park your vehicle: 1. Apply the brake and shift into the neutral position. 2. Fully apply the parking brake, hold the clutch pedal down, then shift into first (1). 3. Turn the ignition off. Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing E99067Transmission AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (If Equipped) WARNINGS Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift is latched in park (P). Turn the ignition to the off position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle. Do not apply the brake pedal and accelerator pedal simultaneously. Applying both pedals simultaneously for more than three seconds will limit engine rpm, which may result in difficulty maintaining speed in traffic and could lead to serious injury. Understanding the Positions of Your Automatic Transmission Putting your vehicle in gear: 1. Fully press down the brake pedal. 2. Press and hold the button on the top of the gearshift lever. 3. Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear. 4. Release the button and your transmission remains in the selected gear. Park (P) This position locks the transmission and prevents the rear wheels from turning. Come to a complete stop before putting your vehicle into and out of park (P). Reverse (R) With the selector in reverse (R), your vehicle moves backward. Always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of reverse (R). Neutral (N) With the selector in neutral (N), you can start your vehicle and it is free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this position. Drive (D) Drive (D) is the normal driving position for the best fuel economy. The overdrive function allows automatic upshifts and downshifts through all gears. Sport (S) Putting your vehicle in sport (S): • Provides additional engine braking and extends lower gear operation to enhance performance for uphill climbs, hilly terrain or mountainous areas. This will increase engine RPM during engine braking. • Provides additional lower gear operation through the automatic transmission shift strategy. • Provides gear selection more quickly and at higher engine speeds. SelectShift Automatic™ Transmission Your vehicle has a SelectShift Automatic transmission. The SelectShift Automatic transmission gives you the ability to change gears up or down (without a clutch) as desired. 134 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing E174572Transmission In order to prevent the engine from running at too low an RPM, which may cause it to stall, SelectShift still automatically makes some downshifts if it has determined that you have not downshifted in time. Although SelectShift makes some downshifts for you, it still allows you to downshift at any time as long as the SelectShift determines that damage will not be caused to the engine from over-revving. Note: Engine damage may occur if you maintain excessive engine revving without shifting. SelectShift does not automatically upshift, even if the engine is approaching the RPM limit. It must be shifted manually by pressing the + button. Notice should be taken of the shift indicator lamp, which alerts you when to shift to make sure you achieve the highest level or efficiency and fuel economy. Pull the + paddle on the steering wheel to activate SelectShift. • Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift. • Pull the left paddle (–) to downshift. SelectShift in drive (D): • Provides a temporary manual mode for performing more demanding maneuvers where extra control of gear selection is required (for example, when towing or overtaking). This mode will hold a selected gear for a temporary period of time dependent on driver inputs (for example, steering or accelerator pedal input). SelectShift in sport (S): • Provides a permanent manual gear selection where full control of gear selection is required. To exit SelectShift mode shift the transmission into another gear (for example, drive [D]). The instrument cluster displays your currently selected gear. If a gear is requested but not available due to vehicle conditions (low speed, too high engine speed for requested gear selection), the current gear flashes three times. Note: At full accelerator pedal travel, the transmission automatically downshifts for maximum performance. Note: In low traction conditions, you can pull away in second gear using SelectShift. To perform this operation, select drive (D) or sport (S) mode and press the + toggle (if equipped) or pull the + paddle (if equipped) until 2 is displayed on the cluster. Your vehicle is now ready to move in 2nd gear. Brake-Shift Interlock WARNINGS Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the brake lamps are working. 135 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing E144821Transmission WARNINGS When doing this procedure, you will be taking your vehicle out of park which means your vehicle can roll freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always fully set the parking brake prior to doing this procedure. Use wheel chocks if appropriate. If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly. See your authorized dealer. Note: Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible if this procedure is used. Note: For some markets, this feature will be disabled. Use the brake shift interlock lever to move the gearshift lever from the park position in the event of an electrical malfunction or if your vehicle has a dead battery. Apply the parking brake and switch the ignition off before performing this procedure. 1. Using a flat head screwdriver or similar tool, remove the chrome bezel and gearshift bracket at the base of the gearshift lever. 136 2. Locate the white release lever and slide the lever forward while pulling the gearshift lever out of the park (P) position and into the neutral (N) position. 3. Reinstall the console. 4. Start your vehicle and release the parking brake. Automatic Transmission Adaptive Learning This feature is designed to increase durability and provide consistent shift feel over the life of your vehicle. A new vehicle or transmission may have firm or soft shifts. This operation is normal and does not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation. Additionally, whenever you disconnect the battery is or install a new battery, the system must relearn the strategy. If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud or Snow Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating temperature or damage to the transmission may occur. Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing E184747E174501Transmission Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat. If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, you may rock it out by shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear. 137 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing Rear Axle LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (If Equipped) This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the limited-slip axle functions like a standard rear axle. The axle may exhibit a slight noise or vibration during tight turns with low vehicle speed. This is normal behavior and indicates the axle is working. Traction-Lok™ and TORSEN™ Axles (If Equipped) These axles provide improved traction on slippery and loose surfaces, particularly when one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, these axles function like a standard rear axle. Extended use of tire sizes other than the manufacturer’s specified tire size on these axles could result in a permanent reduction in effectiveness. This loss does not affect your normal driving and should not be noticeable. 138 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing Brakes GENERAL INFORMATION Note: Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be worn-out. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer. If your vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, have it checked by an authorized dealer. Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the wheels, even under normal driving conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the brakes wear and does not contribute to brake noise. See Cleaning the Alloy Wheels (page 234). See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 76). Wet brakes result in reduced braking efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a few times when driving from a car wash or standing water to dry the brakes. Brake Over Accelerator In the event the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal to slow the vehicle and reduce engine power. If you experience this condition, apply the brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Move the transmission to park (P), switch the engine off and apply the parking brake. Inspect the accelerator pedal for any interference. If none are found and the condition persists, have your vehicle towed to the nearest authorized dealer. Brake Assist Brake assist detects when you brake rapidly by measuring the rate at which you press the brake pedal. It provides maximum braking efficiency as long as you press the pedal, and can reduce stopping distances in critical situations. 139 Anti-lock Brake System This system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops by keeping the brakes from locking. This lamp momentarily illuminates when you turn the ignition on. If the light does not illuminate during start up, remains on or flashes, the system may be disabled. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer. If the anti-lock brake system is disabled, normal braking is still effective. If the brake warning lamp remains illuminated after you release the parking brake, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES Note: When the system is operating, the brake pedal may pulse and may travel further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise from the system. This is normal. The anti-lock braking system will not eliminate the risks when: • You drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you. Your vehicle is hydroplaning. You take corners too fast. The road surface is poor. • • • PARKING BRAKE WARNINGS If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly. See your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing E144522E144522Brakes WARNINGS Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the transmission is securely latched in park (P) (automatic transmission) or first gear (1) (manual transmission). To set the parking brake, pull the parking brake handle up as far as possible. To release the parking brake: 1. Press and hold the button located at the end of the parking brake handle. 2. Pull the handle up slightly, then push the handle down. HILL START ASSIST WARNINGS The system does not replace the parking brake. When you leave your vehicle, always apply the parking brake and shift the transmission into park (P) for automatic transmission or first gear for manual transmission. You must remain in your vehicle once you have activated the system. During all times, you are responsible for controlling your vehicle, supervising the system and intervening, if required. 2. 140 WARNINGS If the engine is revved excessively, or if a malfunction is detected, the system will be deactivated. The system makes it easier to pull away when your vehicle is on a slope without the need to use the parking brake. When the system is active, your vehicle will remain stationary on the slope for two to three seconds after you release the brake pedal. This allows you time to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal. The brakes are released automatically once the engine has developed sufficient torque to prevent your vehicle from rolling down the slope. This is an advantage when pulling away on a slope, for example from a car park ramp, traffic lights or when reversing uphill into a parking space. The system will activate automatically on any slope that will cause significant vehicle rollback. For vehicles with a manual transmission, you can switch this feature off using the information display. See Information Displays (page 80). The system will remain on or off depending on how it was last set. Note: There is no warning lamp to indicate the system is either on or off. Using Hill Start Assist 1. Press the brake pedal to bring your vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep the brake pedal pressed and select an uphill gear (for example, first (1) when facing uphill or reverse (R) when facing downhill). If the sensors detect that your vehicle is on a slope, the system will activate automatically. Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing E223664Brakes 3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, your vehicle will remain on the slope without rolling away for about two or three seconds. This hold time will automatically be extended if you are in the process of driving off. 4. Drive off in the normal manner. The brakes will release automatically. Switching the System On and Off Vehicles with Manual Transmission You can switch this feature on or off in the information display. The system remembers the last setting when you start your vehicle. Vehicles with Automatic Transmission You cannot turn the system on or off. When you switch the ignition on, the system automatically turns on. 141 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing Traction Control PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The traction control system helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction. If your vehicle begins to slide, the system applies the brakes to individual wheels and, when needed, reduces engine power at the same time. If the wheels spin when accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces, the system reduces engine power in order to increase traction. USING TRACTION CONTROL WARNING The stability and traction control light illuminates steadily if the system detects a failure. Make sure you did not manually disable the traction control system using the switch. If the stability control and traction control light is still illuminating steadily, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle with traction control disabled could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. The system automatically turns on each time you switch the ignition on. If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, switching traction control off may be beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin. Note: When you switch traction control off, stability control remains fully active. Switching the System Off The switch for the stability and traction control system is on the instrument panel. When you switch the system off, a message and an illuminated icon appear on the instrument cluster. Use the switch again to return the traction control system to normal operation. Your vehicle may have MyKey restrictions regarding this feature. See Principle of Operation (page 48). System Indicator Lights and Messages The stability and traction control light temporarily illuminates on engine start-up and flashes: • When a driving condition activates • either of the systems.

The stability and traction control off light temporarily lights on engine start-up and stays on: • When you switch the traction control system off. • When you select an alternative stability • control mode. If a problem occurs in either of the systems. The AdvanceTrac Control system helps you keep control of your vehicle when on a slippery surface. The electronic stability control portion of the system helps avoid skids and lateral slides. The traction control system helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction. See Using Traction Control (page 142). PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION WARNINGS Vehicle modifications involving braking system, aftermarket roof racks, suspension, steering system, tire construction and wheel and tire size may change the handling characteristics of the vehicle and may adversely affect the performance of the AdvanceTrac system. In addition, installing any stereo loudspeakers may interfere with and adversely affect the AdvanceTrac system. Install any aftermarket stereo loudspeaker as far as possible from the front center console, the tunnel, and the front seats in order to minimize the risk of interfering with the AdvanceTrac sensors. Reducing the effectiveness of the AdvanceTrac system could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Remember that even advanced technology cannot defy the laws of physics. It’s 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. Activation of the AdvanceTrac system is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this could reduce the operator’s ability to control the vehicle potentially resulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. If your AdvanceTrac system activates, SLOW DOWN. If a failure has been detected within the traction control system, the stability control light will illuminate steadily. Verify that the traction control system was not manually disabled using the stability control button. If the stability control light still illuminates steadily, have 143 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing E138639Stability Control skidding off its intended route.

See Principle of Operation (page 48). Note: If you attach certain add-on devices such as a trailer or bike rack, the rear sensing system may detect that add-on device and therefore provide warnings. It is suggested that you disable the rear sensing system when you attach an add-on device to your vehicle to prevent these warnings. The sensing system warns the driver of obstacles within a certain range of your vehicle. The system turns on automatically whenever you switch the ignition on. The system can be switched off through the information display menu or from the pop-up message that appears once you shift the transmission into reverse (R). See General Information (page 80). If a fault is present in the system, a warning message appears in the information display. See Information Messages (page 88). REAR PARKING AID (If Equipped) The rear sensors are only active when the transmission is in reverse (R). As your vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the audible warning increases. When the obstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away, the warning sounds continuously. If the system detects a stationary or receding object farther than 12 in (30 cm) from the corners of the bumper, the tone sounds for only three seconds. Once the system detects an object approaching, the warning sounds again. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION WARNINGS To help avoid personal injury, please read and understand the limitations of the system as contained in this section. Sensing is only an aid for some (generally large and fixed) objects when moving on a flat surface at parking speeds. Certain objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves, surrounding vehicle's parking aid systems, traffic control systems, fluorescent lamps, inclement weather, air brakes, and external motors and fans may also affect the function of the sensing system; this may include reduced performance or a false activation. To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in reverse (R) and when using the sensing system. This system is not designed to prevent contact with small or moving objects. The system is designed to provide a warning to assist the driver in detecting large stationary objects to avoid damaging your vehicle. The system may not detect smaller objects, particularly those close to the ground. Certain add-on devices such as large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks and any device that may block the normal detection zone of the system, may create false beeps. Note: Keep the sensors, located on the bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors are covered, the system’s accuracy can be affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects. Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms. 147 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing Parking Aids Obstacle Distance Indicator (If Equipped) The system provides obstacle distance indication through the information display. The distance indicator displays when the transmission is in reverse (R). The indicator displays: • As the distance to the obstacle decreases the indicator blocks illuminate and move towards the vehicle icon. If there is no obstacle detected, the distance indicator blocks are grayed out. • REAR VIEW CAMERA WARNINGS The rear view camera system is a reverse aid supplement device that still requires the driver to use it in conjunction with the interior and exterior mirrors for maximum coverage. You may not see objects that are close to either corner of the bumper or under the bumper due to the limited coverage of the camera system. Back up as slow as possible since higher speeds might limit your reaction time to stop your vehicle. Use caution when using the rear video camera and the luggage compartment is ajar. If the luggage compartment is ajar, the camera will be out of position and the video image may be incorrect. All guidelines are removed when the luggage compartment is ajar. Use caution when turning camera features on or off. Make sure your vehicle is not moving. 148 Coverage area of up to 6 ft (1.8 m) from the rear bumper. There may be decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper. The system detects certain objects while the transmission is in reverse (R) : Your vehicle is moving toward a • stationary object at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less. Your vehicle is not moving, but a moving object is approaching the rear of your vehicle at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less. Your vehicle is moving at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h) and a moving object is approaching the rear of your vehicle at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h). • • The system provides audio warnings only when your vehicle is moving or when your vehicle is stationary and the detected obstacle is less than 12 in (30 cm) away from the bumper.

Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. The camera is misaligned due to damage to the rear of your vehicle. • Camera Guidelines Note: Active guidelines are only available when the transmission is in reverse (R). Note: Upon a battery disconnect, the active guidelines may not be functional until your vehicle has been driven a short distance and exceeds a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h). The camera is located on the luggage compartment door. Using the Rear View Camera System The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehicle when you place the transmission in reverse (R). Note: The reverse sensing system is not effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects. The system uses two types of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle: • Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path your vehicle is moving in while reversing in a straight line. This can be helpful when backing into a parking space or aligning your vehicle with another object behind you. • Centerline: Helps align the center of your vehicle with an object. 149 Mustang (CZG) Canada/United States of America, Vehicles Built From: 13-07-2015 Vehicles Built Up To: 01-05-2016, enUSA, Edition date: 10/2015, Second Printing E174502Parking Aids The fixed and active guidelines fade in and out depending on the steering wheel position. The active guidelines do not show when the steering wheel position is straight. Always use caution while reversing. Objects in the red zone are closest to your vehicle and objects in the green zone are farther away. Objects are getting closer to your vehicle as they move from the green zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both sides and rear of your vehicle. Manual Zoom WARNING When manual zoom is on, the full area behind your vehicle does not show. Be aware of your surroundings when using the manual zoom feature.
