Roadside Emergencies
WRECKER TOWING
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional towing
service or, if you are a member, your roadside assistance center.
It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift or flatbed
equipment. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not
approved a slingbelt towing procedure.
If your vehicle is to be towed from the rear using wheel lift equipment, it
is recommended that the front wheels (drive wheels) be placed on a
dolly to prevent damage to the transaxle.
If your vehicle must be towed with the drive wheels on the ground:
•
•
•
Place the transaxle in N (Neutral).
DO NOT exceed the distance of 80 km (50 miles).
DO NOT exceed the speed of 56 km/h (35 mph).

truck operators. Have your tow truck operator refer to this manual for
proper hook-up and towing procedures for your vehicle.
