Your Mustang may be equipped with a broad selection of apps and features designed to make track days and performance testing a lot easier and more convenient.
It’s important to note that while these Track App™ 1 features are advanced, they’ve been designed for track use only. It’s also important to note that some features require safety systems like pre-collision assist and stability control to be switched off, so driver caution is strongly advised when using these features.

Line lock maintains brake force at the front wheels, allowing the rear wheels to spin with minimal vehicle movement. It is intended to condition the rear tires to maximize traction prior to track use.
Note: Line lock is a feature intended for use at tracks only and should not be used on public roadways.
Note: Use of this feature could result in significantly increased rear tire wear.
There are three line lock stages:
Initiating Line Lock
The initiation stage verifies that the vehicle is ready for line lock function and confirms driver intent.
The following conditions must be met to initialize line lock:
If you want to cancel line lock once it is initialized, press the OK button on the steering wheel. Once initiated, line lock is prepared for activation and remains initiated up to 25 mph (40 km/h). If vehicle speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h), line lock automatically cancels.
Engaging Line Lock
Follow the prompts in the instrument cluster display to engage line lock after it is initialized. To engage, firmly apply the brakes. Then press the OK button. Once engaged, release the brake pedal. The front brakes remain applied and the rear brakes release. At this point, the engagement timer is initiated and shown on the instrument cluster display. The following conditions must be met to engage line lock:
Releasing Line Lock
While line lock is engaged, you can exit (release) the feature using the OK button. When you press the OK button, line lock releases immediately and normal vehicle function resumes. When line lock engages, a countdown timer shows the remaining time before line lock is released automatically. If you exceed the time limit, or another vehicle condition requires line lock to release, the system safely disengages and normal vehicle function resumes.
Note: If you apply the brake pedal or parking brake while line lock is engaged, line lock automatically cancels and normal brake function resumes.

This feature provides a smoother driving experience, particularly when downshifting. Rev Match commands a quick engine RPM match to the selected gear during a clutch pressed gear shift. You can switch this feature on and off through the touchscreen.
Temporarily holds the engine RPM at a set point and maximizes traction to the wheels for a more aggressive start.

Allows you to lock up the rear tires to enable drift maneuvers. Before drifting, make sure you are on a track, and have the necessary safety equipment including a certified helmet and approved neck restraint device. Work up to your limit while drifting, do not expect to be an expert right away.
Note: Drift brake is for track use only. Do not use it under any other driving conditions. Note: Using this feature may result in significantly increased rear tire wear.
Switching Drift Brake On or Off
It’s worth noting that when you switch drift brake off, track mode remains on. The Drift Brake feature applies braking to the rear wheels only and locks up the rear wheels. When the feature is off, the brake handle works like the foot brake and applies braking to all four wheels.
The system may exit track mode if it reaches certain threshold limits. If this happens, Drive Mode Not Available or Service AdvanceTrac messages display in the instrument cluster display screen. You can reset the system by switching your vehicle off and back on, driving normally up to 15 minutes and reaching 45 mph (73 km/h).
After the system is re-calibrated, drive modes will be available through the button on the steering wheel.
