TRAILER TOWING
Your vehicle is  classified as a  light duty towing vehicle.  The amount of
weight you can  safely tow depends  on the type of  engine you have  in
your vehicle. Your  vehicle does not  come from the factory  fully equipped
to tow. No  towing packages are  available through Ford or
Mercury/Lincoln dealers. Do  not tow a  trailer until your vehicle  has been
driven at least  800 km (500  miles). If towing with  a station wagon,  inflate
the rear tires  to 35 psi.
Towing a trailer  places an additional  load on your vehicles  engine,
transaxle, brakes, tires  and suspension. Inspect  these components
carefully after towing.
In order to  identify your vehicles  engine, refer toIdentifying
componentsintheenginecompartment      in  theMaintenanceand
specifications chapter.
The amount of  weight that you  can tow depends on  the type of  engine in
your vehicle. See  the following charts:
