Auto Trans; I didn't know this did you?

While we're on the subject of automatics... does the S550 have "hill mode" available?

I have this on my 2011 GT and it's great for the race track and around town when you want to stay in a gear longer on the upshift or downshift earlier when slowing down. It is engaged by pushing a button on the side of the shifter. Thanks in advance for the reply.

My premium auto.
The auto has 4 modes.
1. Normal - Low rpms, great gas mileage
2. Sport+ - rev matching, shift points changed from normal
3. Drag - self explanatory
4. Ice/rain- softer shift points

Before leaving the car set the A.C. on full blast, turn off the car...

Won't the system just automatically go into full max AC mode, bc it knows it is hotter than the set point?

All the Premiums have those 4 modes whether they are auto or manual.

Answering my own question... found this on the Ford site:

The all-new Mustang serves up hot new technology designed
specifically for you. Next time the track starts getting slick,
just tap a toggle switch on the dash to adjust its Selectable
Drive Modes.

Choose from 4 modes: Normal, Sport+, Track, and Snow/Wet.
Each one activates predefined powertrain and chassis
calibrations suited to that particular driving situation.

Normal mode delivers a balance of
comfort and responsive handling for
an engaging driving experience.

Sport+ mode provides more responsive
steering and throttle response, plus
different shift points if your Mustang is
equipped with the SelectShift® automatic
transmission. It’s great for more spirited
driving on twisty roads.

Track mode, which is for track use only, allows skilled drivers to
push the car closer to its limits on the track before AdvanceTrac®
electronic stability control intervenes. It’s perfect for weekend
track days and autocrosses because it lets you extract the
absolute maximum from the vehicle.

Snow/Wet mode comes in handy when road conditions take a
turn for the worse. It provides confident handling by retaining
a connected-to-the-road feel without sacrificing any of the
inherent composure of your new Mustang.
