Transporting The Vehicle; Towing The Vehicle On Four Wheels - Automatic Transmission - Ford TOURNEO CONNECT 2015 Owner's Manual

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE

If you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact a professional towing service. If
you are a member of a roadside assistance
program, contact your roadside assistance
service provider.
When being towed you must use flatbed
equipment, or wheel lift equipment and
dollies to allow sufficient ground
clearance. Do not use slingbelt lifting
equipment. This can cause vehicle damage
which is not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Note: All road wheels must be clear of the
ground when being towed to allow sufficient
ground clearance.

TOWING THE VEHICLE ON
FOUR WHEELS - AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
You must switch the ignition on when
your vehicle is being towed. Failure
to follow this warning could seriously
increase the risk of injury or death.
You must make sure the
transmission selector lever is placed
in position N. Failure to follow this
warning could damage the transmission
and may lead to a crash or injury.
The brake and steering assistance
will not operate unless the engine is
running. Press the brake pedal harder
and allow for increased stopping distances
and heavier steering. Failure to take care
may lead to a crash or personal injury.
Too much tension on a tow rope
could cause damage to your vehicle
or the vehicle that is towing.
Emergency Towing
If your vehicle is disabled without access
to wheel dollies, a car-hauling trailer, or a
flatbed transport vehicle it can be
flat-towed with all wheels on the ground.
You may do this under the following
conditions:
• Your vehicle is facing forward so that
it is towed in a forward direction.
• The transmission selector lever is
placed in position N. If the transmission
gear shift lever cannot be moved to
position N, it may need to be
overridden. See Automatic
Transmission (page 115).
• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is 50 miles (80
