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’s battery is discharged, refer to Automatic transmission
operation
in the Driving chapter for directions on how to move the
gearshift lever out of the P (Park) position, for proper towing.
