2017 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID towing

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.
Note:
The screw-in recovery hook has a
left-hand thread. Turn it counterclockwise to
install it. Make sure that the recovery hook
is fully tightened. 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.
