TOWING A TRAILER

WARNING: Never tow a trailer with this vehicle. Your vehicle is
not equipped to tow. No towing packages are available through

an authorized dealer.

WRECKER TOWING

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.
If your vehicle is towed from the rear with wheel lift equipment, the
front wheels must be placed on a dolly to prevent damage to the
transmission.
