This Road Service Quick Reference Guide was developed to highlight some common procedures when servicing or towing a Lincoln vehicle. It is not all inclusive. For complete information: the applicable vehicles owner’s manual, Ford Wrecker Towing Manual and the AAA Towing and Service Manual should be used in conjunction with this guide.
4,942 lbs. Correct towing equipment for specific models: The use of car carrier equipment is the preferred method of towing all Lincoln vehicles. A secondary, alternative wheel lift with dollies procedure may be used when a car carrier is inaccessible.
CAR CARRIER LOADING: Front T-Slot Nylon Bridal with Short Nylon Strap Extension Use the front two reinforced T-slots to load the vehicle onto a car carrier. The use of a nylon bridle with a secondary nylon strap will assist in avoiding damage to the under panel splash shields.
After securing, return the bed to the transporting position, then slacken the winch wire rope slightly to prevent downward pull as bumps are encountered during transport. Note: Make sure that the ignition switch is in the OFF position, the vehicle is in Park and parking brake is set.
JACKING AND TIRE SERVICE: This model may be equipped with an inflator kit. Lincoln requires that models without a spare tire be towed. Do not deploy the inflator kit if equipped. Spare Tire Change Procedure -When Equipped Note: Chock the tires and set the parking brake to ensure the vehicle will not move.

Stowing the flat tire: If the road wheel you removed cannot be secured in the wheel well area, remove the L-shaped bolt from the external pocket of the felt bag. With the third row seat in the raised position, stand the flat tire in the rear of the vehicle with the tire’s valve stem facing the rear of the vehicle.
Carefully insert the funnel into the capless fuel system to add fuel. Note: Lincoln recommends adding a minimum of 1.3 gal of fuel to restart the engine. If the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep slope, more fuel may be required.
FUEL SHUTOFF: In the event of a moderate to severe collision, this vehicle includes a fuel pump shutoff feature that stops the flow of fuel to the engine. Not every impact will cause a shutoff. Should the vehicle shut off after a collision, you may restart the vehicle. For vehicles equipped with a key system: 1.
ELECTRONIC KEY: The intelligent access keys operate the power locks and the remote start system. The key must be in the vehicle to activate the push-button start system. Removable Key Blade: The intelligent access key also contains a removable mechanical key blade that you can use to lock or unlock the driver door.
