Ford Mustang (2024 year). Manual in english

REV MATCH - MANUAL
TRANSMISSION

This feature provides a smoother driving
experience, particularly during a downshift
event. Rev Match commands a quick
engine RPM match to the selected gear
during a clutch pressed gear shift. You can
switch this feature on and off through the
touchscreen.

LAUNCH CONTROL - MANUAL
TRANSMISSION

Temporarily holds the engine RPM at a set
point and maximizes traction to the wheels
for a more aggressive start.

Enabling or Disabling Launch
Control

From the Track Apps menu, press

Launch Control

To set the RPM hold point:

From the Track Apps menu, press

Launch Settings

Note:

You can also enable or disable the

feature from this screen.

3. The indicator illuminates white in the

instrument cluster when launch control
is ready.

4. Fully press and hold the clutch pedal.

5. Shift the transmission into first gear.

6. Fully press the accelerator pedal and

Improving Your Launch

If launch control is not available when you
come to a stop:
•

Wait for the engine to come to
operating temperature. If the engine is
too hot or cold, launch control is not
available.

•

Make sure the drive mode is not set to
Slippery.

If the vehicle did not launch effectively:
•

Adjust the RPM and practice releasing
the clutch. It may take practice to get
a feel for how quickly to release the
clutch.

•

Switch traction control on, this can
reduce excessive wheel spin.

Keep in mind that weather, road surface,
and tire conditions can also affect your
launch.

DRIFT BRAKE

(If Equipped)

E380329

Allows you to lock up the rear
tires to enable drift maneuvers.

Before drifting, make sure you are on a
track, and have the necessary safety
equipment including a certified helmet and
approved neck restraint device. Work up
to your limit while drifting, do not expect
to be an expert right away.

Note:

Drift brake is for track use only. Do

not use it under any other driving conditions.

Note:

Using this feature may result in

significantly increased rear tire wear.

Switching Drift Brake On or Off

From the Track Apps menu, press

Drift

Brake

2. Confirm the selection. This enables

track mode.

Note:

If track mode is already enabled,

there is no confirmation message.

Note:

Switching drift brake on

automatically enables track mode. If you
change to a different drive mode, drift brake
disables.

3. Press

Drift Brake

again to switch it off.

Note:

When you switch drift brake off, track

mode remains on.

Note:

When the feature is on, the brake

handle applies braking to the rear wheels
only and locks up the rear wheels. When the
feature is off, the brake handle works like
the foot brake and applies braking to all four
wheels.

Note:

The system may exit track mode if it

reaches certain threshold limits. If this
happens, Drive Mode Not Available or
Service AdvanceTrac messages display in
the instrument cluster display screen. You
can reset the system by switching your
vehicle off and back on, driving normally up
to 15 minutes and reaching 45 mph
(73 km/h). After the system is re-calibrated,
drive modes will be available through the
button on the steering wheel.

Drift Brake Driving Hints - Vehicles
with: Automatic Transmission

Two important things to note when driving
a vehicle with an automatic transmission:
•

Keep the RPM high when drifting to
prevent unintentional engine stall. The
engine RPM drops rapidly when locking
the rear wheels, so it is best to be on
the throttle prior to and after pulling
the handle to prevent stalling.

•

Using the paddle shifters or manual
shift mode enhances your ability to
keep the vehicle in the power band.
This way when you release the drift
brake you can quickly get back on the
throttle and maintain your drift.

As your drifting skills develop, it may be
beneficial to turn off other vehicle control
systems such as traction control and
electronic stability control. See

(page 198). Before returning to

public roads, re-enable both systems.

Drift Brake Driving Hints - Vehicles
with: Manual Transmission

Drifting in a manual transmission gives you
more control over the chosen gear, which
allows you to make sure you have correct
application of power to maintain the drift.

407

My Mustang

Two things to note while drifting in a
manual transmission vehicle:
•

Make sure to disengage the clutch
immediately prior to pulling the drift
brake. This prevents fighting engine
torque and prevents unintended stalls.

•

After releasing the drift brake, rapidly
engage the clutch and get back on the
throttle to maintain your drift.

As your drifting skills develop, it may be
beneficial to turn off other vehicle control
systems such as traction control and
electronic stability control. See

(page 198). Before returning to

public roads, re-enable both systems.

or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as
indicated on the Safety Compliance
Certification label). Ask an authorized
dealer for specific weight information.

•

The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian
Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulate the use
of mobile communications systems
that are equipped with radio
transmitters, for example two-way
radios, telephones and theft alarms.
Any such equipment installed in your
vehicle should comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) regulations and should be
installed only by an authorized dealer.

•

An authorized dealer needs to install
mobile communications systems.
Improper installation may harm the
operation of your vehicle, particularly
if the manufacturer did not design the
mobile communication system
specifically for automotive use.

•

If you or an authorized Ford dealer add
any non-Ford electrical or electronic
accessories or components to your
vehicle, you may adversely affect
battery performance and durability. In
addition, you may also adversely affect
the performance of other electrical

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION

Why Maintain Your Vehicle?

Carefully following the maintenance
schedule helps protect against major repair
expenses resulting from neglect or
inadequate maintenance and may help to
increase the value of your vehicle when
you sell or trade it. Keep all receipts for
completed maintenance with your vehicle.

We have established regular maintenance
intervals for your vehicle based upon
rigorous testing. It is important that you
have your vehicle serviced at the proper
times. These intervals serve two purposes;
one is to maintain the reliability of your
vehicle and the second is to keep your cost
of owning your vehicle down.

It is your responsibility to have all
scheduled maintenance performed and to
make sure that the materials used meet
the specifications identified in this owner's
manual. See

Capacities and

Specifications

(page 363).

Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
invalidates warranty coverage on parts
affected by the lack of maintenance.

Why Maintain Your Vehicle at Your
Dealership?

Factory-Trained Technicians

Service technicians participate in extensive
factory-sponsored certification training to
help them become experts on the
operation of your vehicle. Ask your
dealership about the training and
certification their technicians have
received.

Genuine Ford and Motorcraft®
Replacement Parts

Dealerships stock Ford, Motorcraft and
Ford-authorized branded re-manufactured
replacement parts. These parts meet or
exceed our specifications. Parts installed
at your dealership carry a nationwide
24-month or unlimited mile (kilometer)
parts and labor limited warranty.

If you do not use Ford authorized parts they
may not meet our specifications and
depending on the part, it could affect
emissions compliance.

Convenience

Many dealerships have extended evening
and Saturday hours to make your service
visit more convenient and they offer one
stop shopping. They can perform any
services that are required on your vehicle,
from general maintenance to collision
repairs.

Note:

Not all dealers have extended hours

or body shops. Please contact your dealer
for details.

Protecting Your Investment

Maintenance is an investment that pays
dividends in the form of improved
reliability, durability and resale value. To
maintain the proper performance of your
vehicle and its emission control systems,
make sure you have scheduled
maintenance performed at the designated
intervals.

Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent
oil-life monitor that determines oil life
based on engine operating conditions.

433

Scheduled Maintenance

•

Under normal operating conditions, a
message appears in the instrument
cluster display to indicate the regular
oil change interval.

•

Under severe operating conditions, the
oil change interval may reduce, and the
message interval may adjust.

High performance vehicles can be driven
in such a way that may lead to higher oil
consumption (this includes extended time
at high engine speeds, high loads, engine
braking, hard cornering maneuvers, and
track use). Under these conditions, oil
consumption of approximately 1 quart per
500 miles (1 liter per 800 km) is possible.
As a result, the engine oil level needs to be
checked at every refueling and adjusted to
maintain proper level to avoid engine
damage.

Note:

Oil level should not exceed the

maximum mark on the indicator. See

Checking the Engine Oil Level

(page 299).

Your vehicle can be driven in such a way
that dilutes and increases the level of oil
by short trips that do not allow the engine
to get to operating temperature, extended
idling, and low speed driving for long
periods of time.

When the oil change message appears in
the instrument cluster display, it is time for
an oil change. Make sure you perform the
oil change within two weeks or 500 mi
(800 km) of the message appearing. Make
sure you reset the Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor after each oil change.

If your instrument cluster display resets
prematurely or becomes inoperative, you
should perform the oil change interval at
six months or 5,000 mi (8,000 km) from
your last oil change. Never exceed one year
or 10,000 mi (16,000 km) between oil
change intervals.

Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built
with multiple, complex, performance
systems. Every manufacturer develops
these systems using different
specifications and performance features.
That is why it is important to rely upon your
dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle.

Ford Motor Company has recommended
maintenance intervals for various parts
and component systems based upon
engineering testing. Ford Motor Company
relies upon this testing to determine the
most appropriate mileage for replacement
of oils and fluids to protect your vehicle at
the lowest overall cost to you and
recommends against maintenance
schedules that deviate from the scheduled
maintenance information.

We strongly recommend the use of only
genuine Ford, Motorcraft or
Ford-authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts engineered for your
vehicle.

Additives and Chemicals

This owner's manual and the Ford
Workshop Manual list the recommended
additives and chemicals for your vehicle.
We do not recommend using chemicals or
additives not approved by us as part of
your vehicle’s normal maintenance. Please
consult your warranty information.

Oils, Fluids and Flushing

In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert, such
as the factory-trained technicians at your
dealership, should inspect discolored fluids
that also show signs of overheating or
foreign material contamination
immediately.

434

Scheduled Maintenance

Make sure to change your vehicle’s oils and
fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a
viable way to change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are
flushed only with new fluid that is the same
as that required to fill and operate the

system or using a Ford-approved flushing
chemical.

Owner Checks and Services

Make sure you perform the following basic
maintenance checks and inspections every
month or at six-month intervals.

Check every month

Engine oil level.

For severe use, high engine speed and engine loads, engine braking and track use, check

engine oil level every fuel fill-up.

Function of all interior and exterior lights.

Tires, including spare, for wear and proper pressure.

Windshield washer fluid level.

Check every six months

Battery connections. Clean if necessary.

Body and door drain holes for obstructions. Clean if necessary.

Cooling system fluid level and coolant strength.

Door weatherstrips for wear. Lubricate if necessary.

Hinges, latches and outside locks for proper operation. Lubricate if necessary.

Parking brake for proper operation.

Seatbelts and seat latches for wear and function.

Safety warning lamps operation for brake, ABS, airbag and seatbelt.

Washer spray and wiper operation. Clean or replace blades as necessary.

435

Scheduled Maintenance

Multi-Point Inspection

In order to keep your vehicle running right,
it is important to have the systems on your
vehicle checked regularly. This can help
identify potential issues and prevent major

problems. We recommend having the
following multi-point inspection performed
at every scheduled maintenance interval
to help make sure your vehicle keeps
running great.

Multi-Point inspection

Hazard warning system operation.

Accessory drive belts.

Horn operation.

Battery performance.

Radiator, cooler, heater and air conditioning

hoses.

Engine air filter.

Suspension components for leaks or

damage.

Exhaust system.

Steering and linkage.

Exterior lamps operation.

Tires, including spare, for wear and proper

pressure.

Fluid levels; fill if necessary.

Windshield for cracks, chips or pits.

For oil and fluid leaks.

Washer spray and wiper operation.

Half-shaft dust boots.

Brake, coolant recovery reservoir, automatic transmission and window washer.

If your vehicle is equipped with a temporary mobility kit, check the tire sealant expiration

Use By date on the canister. Replace as needed.

Be sure to ask your dealership service
advisor or technician about the multi-point
vehicle inspection. It is a comprehensive
way to perform a thorough inspection of
your vehicle. Your checklist gives you
immediate feedback on the overall
condition of your vehicle.

NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE

Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™

Your vehicle has an Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor that determines when you should
change the engine oil based on how you
use your vehicle. By using several
important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning
your vehicle and reduces environmental
waste at the same time.

436

Scheduled Maintenance

This means you do not have to remember
to change the oil on a mileage-based
schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when
an oil change is due by displaying a
message in the information display.

The following table provides examples of
vehicle use and its impact on oil change
intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil
change intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity of
use.

When to expect the message prompting you to change your oil
