TOWING A TRAILER
Note:
Your Ford GT is not designed
for trailer towing. Never tow a
trailer with your Ford GT.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON
FOUR WHEELS
Emergency Towing
You can release the steering wheel lock by
starting the engine or by pressing the
START/STOP button with your foot off
the brake.
If your Ford GT must be transported,
whenever possible, use an enclosed trailer,
an open car trailer, or a roll back car carrier.
If you must move the car on its wheels,
install the recovery hook provided in the
rear hatch storage. This recovery hook
should be screwed into the receptacle
located in the right corner of the front grille.
Once installed, use the recovery hook to
pull the car. 132

5. Remove the warning sticker found on
the casing/housing and place it on the
top of the instrument panel or the
center of the dash.
6. Start the vehicle and leave the engine running so the compressor does not
drain the vehicle ’s battery. 7. Turn dial (A) clockwise to the sealant
position. Switch the kit on by pressing
the on/off button (B).
8. Inflate the tire to the pressure listed on
the tire label located on the driver's
door or the door jamb area. The initial
air pressure gauge reading may indicate
a value higher than the label pressure
while you pump the sealing compound
into the tire. This is normal and should
be no reason for concern. The pressure gauge reading will indicate the tire
inflation pressure after about 30
seconds of operation. You should
check the final tire pressure with the
compressor turned OFF in order to get
an accurate pressure reading.
9. When the tire reaches the
recommended tire pressure, switch off
the kit, unplug the power cable, and
disconnect the hose from the tire valve.
Re-install the valve cap on the tire
valve and return the kit to the stowage
area.
10. Immediately and cautiously, drive the
vehicle 4 mi (6 km) to distribute the
sealant evenly inside the tire. Do not
exceed
50 mph (80 km/h).
11. After 4 mi (6 km), stop and check the
tire pressure. See Second Stage:
Checking Tire Pressure.
