TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE

E143886

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.

It is recommended that your vehicle be

towed with a wheel lift and dollies or

flatbed equipment. Do not tow with a

slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not

approved a slingbelt towing procedure. If

the vehicle is towed incorrectly, or by any

other means, vehicle damage may occur.

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.

Front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles can be

towed from the front if proper wheel lift

equipment is used to raise the front wheels

off the ground. The rear wheels can be left

on the ground when towed in this fashion

FWD vehicles can also be towed from the

rear using wheel lift equipment; however,

the front wheels must be placed on a dolly

to prevent damage to the transmission.

All-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles must be

towed with a wheel lift and dollies or

flatbed equipment, with all the wheels off

the ground, to prevent damage to the

transmission, AWD system or vehicle.

TOWING THE VEHICLE ON

FOUR WHEELS

Emergency Towing

In the event your vehicle becomes disabled

(without access to wheel dollies,

car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport

vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all wheels

on the ground, regardless of the

powertrain/transmission configuration)

under the following conditions:

• The vehicle is facing forward so that it

is towed in a forward direction.

• The transmission gear shift lever is

placed in position N. If the transmission

gear shift lever cannot be moved to

position N, it may need to be

overridden. See Transmission (page

157).

• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).

• Maximum distance is 50 miles (80

kilometers).

Recreational Towing

Note: Put your climate control system in

recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust

fumes from entering the vehicle. See

Climate Control (page 118).
