Towing Points - Lincoln 2017 MKZ HYBRID Owner's Manual

Front-wheel drive vehicles must have the
front wheels placed on a tow dolly when
towing your vehicle from the rear using
wheel lift equipment. This prevents damage
to the transmission.
Towing an all-wheel drive vehicle requires
that all wheels be off the ground, such as
using a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment. This prevents damage to the
transmission, all-wheel drive system and
vehicle.

TOWING POINTS

Due to local market requirements in some
countries, some vehicles may be equipped
with a recovery hook.
Recovery Hook Location
If your vehicle is equipped with a screw-in
recovery hook, it is located with the spare
tire kit.
Installing the Recovery Hook
There is an installation point for the recovery
hook located behind the fascia.

Remove the recovery hook cover by prying
it off at the notch with a screwdriver or similar
object.
Note: Use a soft cloth to cover the prying
tool. This helps prevent scratch marks to the
vehicle's paint.
