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 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 is towed by other means or incorrectly, vehicle
damage may occur.
When towing your SVT Contour with a wheel lift, follow the procedure
described in your Owner's Guide.
When towing your SVT Contour with flatbed equipment, you must place
a block under the tongue of the inclined flatbed to decrease the angle of
ascent and descent.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the vehicle's
front fascia and tailpipes.

A WORD ABOUT WARRANTY COVERAGE
The SVT Contour carries the same warranty coverage as other Ford
Contour models. This information is covered in its entirety in the Ford
Motor Company Warranty Guide.
The SVT Contour or any SVT can be serviced under warranty at any
Ford-Lincoln-Mercury dealer nationwide.
SVT does not recommend modifying or racing our vehicles, as they are
designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory. The Ford
Motor Company Warranty Guide discusses the installation of aftermarket
parts and their effect on warranty coverage as follows:
Repairs are not reimbursable under warranty when:
²ªThe repairs are required because of abuse, misuse, racing, fire,
negligence, accident, modification or a natural disaster.º
²ªThe repairs are required due to installation of a non-Ford part.º
