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.
