Introduction

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.

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 1,600 km (1,000 miles) of new vehicle operation. Vary your speed to allow parts to adjust themselves to other parts.

2003 Mustang (mus) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)

Introduction

Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during the first few thousand kilometers (miles) 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 7.3L 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.

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 used in front of a passenger side air bag unless the air bag can be and is turned OFF.

Data Recording

Computers in your vehicle are capable of recording detailed data potentially including but not limited to information such as:

• the use of restraint systems including seat belts by the driver and passengers,

2003 Mustang (mus) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)

Introduction

• information about the performance of various systems and modules in the vehicle, and

• information related to engine, throttle, steering, brake or other system status.

Any of this information could potentially include information regarding how the driver operates the vehicle, potentially including but not limited to information regarding vehicle speed, brake or accelerator application, or steering input. This information may be stored during regular operation or in a crash or near crash event.

This stored information may be read out and used by:

• Ford Motor Company.

• service and repair facilities.

• law enforcement or government agencies.

• others who may assert a right or obtain your

consent to know such information.

Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the respective system inspected immediately.

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:

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

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

there is not a CD present.

• 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.

• CD ERR for any other disc malfunction.
