TOWING POINTS

Recovery Hook Location

If your vehicle is equipped with a screw-in

recovery hook, it is located in the spare

wheel well.

If your vehicle is not equipped with a

recovery hook, you can purchase one from

your dealer.

Installing the Recovery Hook

The screw-in recovery hook has a left-hand

thread. Turn it counterclockwise to install

it. Make sure that the recovery hook is fully

tightened.

Insert a suitable object to pry open the

cover (1). Use recessed/notched portion

of the cover. Screw in the recovery hook

(2).

Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels

Switch the ignition to the on position.

Failure to do so results in steering lock and

non-function of indicator and brake lamps.

Braking and steering efforts are high if the

engine is not running. Maintain increased

stopping distances.

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE

(

If you need to have your vehicle towed,

contact a professional towing service or,

if you are a member of a roadside

assistance program, your roadside

assistance service provider.

We recommend the use of a wheel lift and

dollies or flatbed equipment to tow your

vehicle. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford

Motor Company has not approved a

slingbelt towing procedure. Vehicle

damage may occur if towed incorrectly, or

by any other means.

Ford Motor Company produces a towing

manual for all authorized tow truck

operators. Have your tow truck operator

refer to this manual for proper hook-up

and towing procedures for your vehicle.
