POWERTRAIN

Noise From The Transaxle: Due to the high performance nature of the Ford GT's Powertrain, a

certain amount of noise from the transaxle can be expected. The noise will be most evident with the vehicle idling in neutral with the clutch pedal out but can also occur during vehicle drive away.

Alternate Calibration: The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) strategy contains a feature to limit supercharger

boost pressure and engine speed to 4,000 RPM for the first 3 consecutive miles of vehicle operation or 50 engine start / warm up cycles. This feature is enabled prior to shipment. If neither of these conditions has been satisfied prior to customer delivery, full power will not be available.

ELECTRICAL

Long-Term Storage: Storage for extended periods without operating the engine requires the use a battery

charger / maintainer to keep the battery's state of charge at an acceptable level.

Wipers: The wipers on the Ford GT will operate only in high-speed mode if the luggage compartment cover is

not fully closed. The wiper system has a strategy that disables the wipers in the low, intermittent or wash modes any time the luggage compartment cover is not fully latched.

BODY

Engine Cover Latching: Both latches of the rear decklid / engine cover must be fully secured before driving

the vehicle. The door ajar warning will illuminate if either side is not fully latched.

Opening The Doors If The Battery Is Discharged: A mechanical override is provided via the drivers' side door

lock cylinder. If the battery is discharged, inserting the key and turning the door lock will manually override the latch and open the door.

Fuel Filler / Luggage Compartment Operating Levers: Ensure that both the fuel filler opening and luggage

compartment levers are returned to their fully closed position before opening the driver's or passenger's door to eliminate the risk of contact between the two parts.
