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.
We recommend towing your vehicle 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.
It is acceptable to tow a front-wheel drive
vehicle from the front if using proper wheel
lift equipment to raise the front wheels off
the ground. When towing in this manner,
the rear wheels can remain on the ground.
Front-wheel drive vehicles must have the
front wheels placed on a two-wheel tow
dolly when towing your vehicle from the
rear using wheel lift equipment. This
prevents damage to the transmission.
Towing a four-wheel drive vehicle requires
that all wheels be off the ground, such as
using a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment. This prevents damage to the
transmission, four-wheel drive system and
vehicle.

lock, make sure the ignition is in the
accessory or on position before you
tow.
Too much tension on a tow rope

or the vehicle that is towing.
