CONGRATULATIONS
You have accepted a starring role in the Mustang
Phenomenon, an automotive love affair that is unlike any
other. The Ponycar passion that began decades ago on
quarter-mile stretches of asphalt has evolved to become
your personal automotive experience today. This Quick
Reference Guide will help you mesh quickly with many of
your new car’s features. It was designed for use with the
accompanying CD-ROM. Insert the CD into any audio CD
player; find the numbered call-outs on the instrument
panel portion of this guide, then select the corresponding
number on the CD audio track for a fast, convenient
introduction to Mustang.
For more detailed information, place the CD into your
computer (the CD jacket will tell you if your computer
meets the minimum configuration requirements) – or
consult your Owner’s Guide.
