Gauges explained

[Leehrat]

Can someone explain the various gauges that can be shown on the digital display? What do each mean? What are the ideal value ranges for each and which three are the most important to choose to display?

I'm a daily driver and not a racer so just want to learn more about the gauges.

They tell you what the specific gauges are, most are temp gauges and some track air to fuel ratio. Anyone you want to know specifically just google it. I set mine, however I have vac and oil pressure which are included on my dash, may switch it up no need to have the same gauge in my face lol.

You can monitor the rear end temps

You can start here. None of them are critical in day to day driving. Pick three, watch them, and then change them. You’ll figure out which ones you want on a day to day basis.

In addition to the gauges listed, you can also display your 4 tires' real-time (or close enough) air pressure instead of those gauges that aren't very useful for daily driving.

The tire pressure one is accessed by hitting the setting (gear icon) button on your steering wheel instead of the pony icon.

There's an option for displaying driver assist. It first shows as trip distance, but if you hit the arrow up/down buttons a couple times, you'll see your 4 tires' air pressure.

Not as sexy as lateral Gs, but more useful for daily driving.

(I'm not sure if the above applies to all trims or only premium...)

My Bullitt doesn’t list oil temp, or trans temp. Bummer. Will probably have to buy the GT350 gauge pod if unable to program oil temp thru FORScan.

When the engine is hot and the car is idling, what should the oil pressure gauge be showing? Mines barely half way to the first hash mark.

Read this. Each hash mark is approx. 10 PSI

On the dodge I had it displayed my HQ or TQ numbers... ford should incorporate that. The harder you press the go pedal the more the gauge moved.

The oil pressure is very low on these, especially the 18 and up. I want to say my 19 is around 17 psi at idle once warmed up.

Doesn't the speedometer do that ?

BTW it's the loud peddle

Oh stop now. No real Mustang owner reads the manual. Especially if they can come on here and get someone else to do it (wink, wink).

whatever pedal you want to press and the speedometer only goes so high lol... I’ll never see 460 on there
