Section 2 - Vehicle Characteristics The engineering objective in determining our vehicles wheel tire and suspension configuration was to produce a true performance machine one meant to be driven As such you should know that your Roush Performance vehicle may have some characteristics that are unlike most vehicles They include

1 A firmer ride if equipped with a Roush Performance suspension system The ride quality is due to an engineered and balanced suspension system that improves your vehicles handling You will notice significantly less body roll a tighter feel and a more immediate response to your driving inputs due to the revised suspension tuning

2 Less ground clearance created by the re-engineered suspension system along with front side and rear aerodynamic styling components This is important to remember when driving over rough terrain or steep driveways Damage to the body styling components may result from ground contact or contact with parking blocks or curbs and is not covered by Roushs warranty

4 Since our vehicles have aerodynamic body styling components available side exhaust systems and wider wheels and tires use of an automatic or track-type car wash will damage your vehicle Hand washing only is recommended

Section 2 - Vehicle Characteristics The engineering objective in determining our vehicles wheel tire and suspension configuration was to produce a true performance machine one meant to be driven As such you should know that your Roush Performance vehicle may have some characteristics that are unlike most vehicles They include

1 A firmer ride if equipped with a Roush Performance suspension system The ride quality is due to an engineered and balanced suspension system that improves your vehicles handling You will notice significantly less body roll a tighter feel and a more immediate response to your driving inputs due to the revised suspension tuning

2 Less ground clearance created by the re-engineered suspension system along with front side and rear aerodynamic styling components This is important to remember when driving over rough terrain or steep driveways Damage to the body styling components may result from ground contact or contact with parking blocks or curbs and is not covered by Roushs warranty

Section 2 - Vehicle Characteristics The engineering objective in determining our vehicles wheel tire and suspension configuration was to produce a true performance machine one meant to be driven As such you should know that your Roush Performance vehicle may have some characteristics that are unlike most vehicles They include

1 A firmer ride if equipped with a Roush Performance suspension system The ride quality is due to an engineered and balanced suspension system that improves your vehicles handling You will notice significantly less body roll a tighter feel and a more immediate response to your driving inputs due to the revised suspension tuning

2 Less ground clearance created by the re-engineered suspension system along with front side and rear aerodynamic styling components This is important to remember when driving over rough terrain or steep driveways Damage to the body styling components may result from ground contact or contact with parking blocks or curbs and is not covered by Roushs warranty

Engine Oil and Filter

Change your engine oil every 6 months or 6000 miles using a high-quality 5W30 motor oil that meets or exceeds API Service Category SJ This should be done more frequently if high operating temperatures are encountered The use of synthetic oils will not void your engine warranty provided they are changed every 6 months6000 miles Your Roush Stage 3 Mustang uses a Motorcraft FL820-S oil filter The filter should be changed every time you change your engine oil

Spark Plug Type and Gap

Your Roush Stage 3 Mustang is equipped with Motorcraft AGSF-12-FM1 spark plugs set to a gap of 0043-0047 They should be replaced every 30000 miles or two years whichever occurs first Use of another spark plug design can damage the engine and will void your warranty

Tire Maintenance

1 Check your tire pressures on a regular basis at least once a month Underinflated tires wear unevenly and are more likely to fail from overheating Overinflated tires also wear improperly contribute to a harsher ride and are prone to damage from road hazards Roush Performance recommends that you follow the tire pressure guidelines listed on the decal on the drivers side door pillar This information should also be listed on the decal on the inside of the glove box door Inflation pressures are always cold inflation that is measured after the vehicle has been sitting for a minimum of 3 hours

2 Maintain wheel balance and front end alignment Balance concerns are usually noted as a general vibration throughout the vehicle while alignment concerns manifest themselves as the vehicle pulling either to the right or the left If either of these conditions exist contact your dealer for service

3 Do not rotate your tires The tires are directional and the front and rear are different sizes

Tire Maintenance

1 Check your tire pressures on a regular basis at least once a month Underinflated tires wear unevenly and are more likely to fail from overheating Overinflated tires also wear improperly contribute to a harsher ride and are prone to damage from road hazards Roush Performance recommends that you follow the tire pressure guidelines listed on the decal on the drivers side door pillar This information should also be listed on the decal on the inside of the glove box door Inflation pressures are always cold inflation that is measured after the vehicle has been sitting for a minimum of 3 hours

2 Maintain wheel balance and front end alignment Balance concerns are usually noted as a general vibration throughout the vehicle while alignment concerns manifest themselves as the vehicle pulling either to the right or the left If either of these conditions exist contact your dealer for service

3 Do not rotate your tires The tires are directional and the front and rear are different sizes

Your Roush Performance wheels have a protective clear coat applied to protect their finish Clean your wheels with commercially available wheel cleaners that can be applied to wheels having abull protective coating Do not scrub them with a brush or abrasive cleaners or use high-pressure washers or steam cleaners as these methods can either damage or remove the protective coating and will void Roushs warranty Once your wheels are clean rinse them thoroughly with clean water and dry Be aware that cleaning your wheels also gets your brake pads wet so use caution when applying the brakes the first few applications after cleaning
