SVT History

The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991 to polish the Ford Oval by creating low-volume, factory-produced vehicles designed for those select few whose idea of driving is a high-powered, passionate experience – not just a means of getting from point A to point B.

In a move to support this spirited enthusiasm, Ford Motor Company carefully integrated the wide array of talent in the company into a small, cross-functional group of engineers and product planners, housed together under one roof with a common mission: to create vehicles specifically designed to meet the unique needs and desires of the knowledgeable driving enthusiast.

More than 250,000 SVT vehicles were produced since the 1993 model year. These include the SVT Mustang Cobra and the Cobra R, the SVT F-150 Lightning, the SVT Contour, the SVT Focus, Ford GT, Shelby GT500, GT500KR and the F-150 SVT Raptor.

Team RS History

TeamRS traces its roots back nearly 60 years from the Lotus Ford Cortina and Twin Cam Escorts of the mid 1960’s, through the first RS branded Escorts of the 1970’s to the founding of Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) in 1980. Through the 1980s and 90s, SVE delivered a breadth of vehicles from exciting XR and RS branded road going performance cars through homologation specials such as the iconic Sierra Cosworth RS500. The first ST (Sport Technology) vehicle appeared in 1996 as the ST24 Mondeo. The first collaboration between Ford’s European and North American performance teams appeared in 2002 as the ST170 in Europe and SVT Focus in North America. In 2003, TeamRS replaced SVE in Europe as performance car and motorsport personnel were brought together as one team. TeamRS subsequently created the 2004 Fiesta ST, 2005 Focus ST and 2009 Focus RS.

Ford Performance

SVT and Team RS officially began working together as one team in 2009. In 2015, these two teams, along with Ford Racing, were formally combined establishing Ford Performance as a single team responsible for all performance and racing oriented products and activities worldwide at Ford Motor Company. The GT350 represents the best of what Ford Performance has to offer from around the globe. Your GT350 vehicle has been designed and developed with the four hallmarks of Ford Performance in mind: Performance, Substance, Exclusivity and Value. We are proud and passionate about what we do, and we are glad you have made us your choice.

INSTALLING CHILD RESTRAINTS

Rear Seat Delete (If Equipped)

WARNING

In a crash, passengers who are unbelted are significantly more likely

to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seatbelts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seatbelt properly.

This is not a seating position. Persons or child restraints cannot be placed in the rear of the vehicle with the rear seat delete option.

Vehicles Without Rear Seats

Once the child restraint has been installed using the seatbelt, you can attach the top tether strap.

Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor.

Perform the following to attach a child restraint to the tether anchor.

Route the tether strap as follows:

For coupe without rear seats, route the tether strap through the inboard slot of the front passenger seatback or route the tether strap over the top of the seat. A tether strap extension may be needed to reach the tether anchor.

Mustang (CZG) United States of America, Vehicles With: SVT Performance Package, enUSA, First Printing

Child Safety

If you install a child restraint and have attached the top tether strap to the proper top tether anchor, do not tighten the tether strap enough to lift the child restraint off the vehicle seat cushion when the child is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug without lifting the front of the child restraint. Keeping the child restraint just touching the vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash.

See the Child Safety chapter in your Owner's Manual for more information.
