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 by wheel lift or flatbed
equipment. However, a slingbelt with T-hooks can also be used.

If your vehicle is to be towed from the rear using wheel lift or slingbelt
equipment, the front wheels (drive wheels) must be placed on a dolly to
prevent damage to the transaxle.

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

Ford Motor Company provides 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.
