FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH This device stops the electric fuel pump from sending fuel to the engine when your vehicle has had a substantial jolt. After an accident, if the engine cranks but does not start, this switch may have been activated. The fuel pump shut-off switch is located in the driver’s footwell, by the hood release. CHANGING THE TIRES Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire, which is smaller than a regular tire and designed for emergency use only. The jack, spare tire, jack handle and the lug nut wrench are located in the wheel well underneath the trunk floor. TIRE PRESSURE Safe operation of your Mustang requires your tires be properly inflated. The Ford recommended inflation pressure is found on the tire label or the certification label on the driver’s door. At least once a month and before long trips, inspect each tire and check the air pressure with a tire gauge. Don’t forget the spare. Air pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. Inflate all tires to the inflation pressure recommended by Ford Motor Company. FUEL TANK CAPACITY Your tank holds 16 gallons of fuel. For optimum performance use “Regular” unleaded fuel with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of at least 87.

This service is available 24 hours, seven days a week for three years or 36,000 miles. It covers changing a flat tire, jump starts, limited fuel delivery, lockout assistance and towing of your vehicle.
