2020 FORD FUSION ENERGI emergency towing

TOWING A TRAILER
WARNING: Your vehicle is
not approved for trailer towing.
Never tow a trailer with your
vehicle.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON
FOUR WHEELS
Emergency Towing
In the event your vehicle becomes disabled
(without access to wheel dollies,
car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport
vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all wheels
on the ground, regardless of the
powertrain/transmission configuration)
under the following conditions:
• The vehicle is facing forward so that it
is towed in a forward direction.
• Shift the transmission into neutral (N).
If you cannot shift the transmission into
neutral (N), you may need to override
the shifter and enable Stay in Neutral
mode. Failing to do so may result in
damage to the transmission.
See
Transmission (page 173).
• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is
50 mi (80 km).
Recreational Towing
Note: Put your climate control system in
recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering your vehicle. See
Climate Control
(page 119).
Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational (RV) towing. An example
of recreational towing would be towing
your vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are designed to ensure that your
transmission is not damaged. Your vehicle can be towed with all four
wheels on the ground using the Stay in
Neutral mode feature, or with all four
wheels off the ground using a vehicle
transport trailer. If you are using a vehicle
transport trailer, follow the instruction
specified by the equipment provider.
If you tow your vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground:
•
Tow only in the forward direction.
• Release the parking brake.
• Place the vehicle in Stay in Neutral
mode.
See Automatic Transmission
(page 173).
• Do not exceed
70 mph (113 km/h).
Note: If the parking brake is applied, a
message appears in the information display.
Note: Start the engine and allow it to run
for a few minutes at the beginning of each
day, and every six hours or fewer. With the
engine running and your foot on the brake,
shift into drive (D) and then into reverse (R)
before shifting back into neutral (N). Before
continuing to tow, you must re-enable
Stay in Neutral mode.
