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 or flatbed
equipment. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not
approved a slingbelt towing procedure.

If the vehicle is towed by other means or incorrectly, vehicle
damage may occur.

If your vehicle is to be towed using wheel lift equipment, the non-lifted
wheels must be placed on a dolly to prevent damage to the vehicle.

Place a rag on top of the hoist cable below the fascia when loading or
unloading a vehicle on a flatbed wrecker to prevent surface damage to
the fascia.

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.
