2020 LINCOLN CORSAIR emergency towing

SelectShift in drive (D):
Provides a temporary manual mode for
performing more demanding maneuvers
where extra control of gear selection is
required (for example, when towing, downhill
driving or overtaking). This mode holds a
selected gear for a temporary period of time
dependent on driver inputs (for example,
steering or accelerator pedal input).
In SelectShift mode, the instrument cluster
displays your currently selected gear. If you
request a gear, but it is not available due to
vehicle conditions, low speed, too high
engine speed for requested gear selection,
the current gear briefly flashes.
Note:
At full accelerator pedal travel, the
transmission downshifts for maximum
performance. Note:
In low traction conditions, you can pull
away in second gear using SelectShift. To
perform this operation, select drive (D) and
press the (+) paddle until 2 is displayed on
the cluster. Your vehicle is now ready to
move in 2nd gear.
Manual Park Release WARNING: When doing this
procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which means
your vehicle can roll freely. To avoid
unwanted vehicle movement, always fully
apply the parking brake prior to doing this
procedure. Use wheels chocks if
appropriate. WARNING:
If the parking brake is
fully released, but the brake warning lamp
remains illuminated, the brakes may not
be working properly. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. WARNING: Do not drive your vehicle
until you verify that the stoplamps are
working.
Use the manual park release to move your
transmission from the park (P) position in the
event of an electrical malfunction or
emergency.
Activating the Manual Park Release Cable
1. Apply the parking brake.
See Electric
Parking Brake (page 215).
Note: If the vehicle battery is dead, for
example, no electrical power is available,
you could require external power to apply
the parking brake.
2. Locate the Manual Park Release cable access cover on the lower instrument
panel dash to the bottom left hand side
of the steering column.

Note:
Reconnect the wiring to the trailer
after removing the trailer from the water.
When backing down a ramp during boat
launching or retrieval:
• Do not allow the static water level to rise
above the bottom edge of the rear
bumper.
• Do not allow waves to break higher than
6 in (15 cm)
above the bottom edge of
the rear bumper.
Exceeding these limits may allow water to
enter vehicle components:
• Causing internal damage to the
components.
• Affecting driveability, emissions, and
reliability.
Replace the rear axle lubricant anytime you
submerge the rear axle in water. Water may
contaminate the rear axle lubricant, which is
not a normal maintenance inspection item
unless there is a possibility of a leak or other
axle repair is required. TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR
WHEELS
Emergency Towing WARNING:
If your vehicle has a
steering wheel lock make sure the ignition
is in the accessory or on position when
being towed.
If your vehicle becomes inoperable without
access to wheel dollies or a vehicle transport
trailer, it can be flat-towed with all wheels on
the ground, regardless of the powertrain and
transmission configuration, under the
following conditions:
• Your vehicle is facing forward for towing
in a forward direction.
• Refer to the Manual Park Release
procedure. See Automatic Transmission
(page
203). Failing to do so could result
in damage to the transmission.
• Maximum speed is
35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is
50 mi (80 km). Recreational Towing
Front-Wheel Drive Vehicles
You cannot recreational tow your vehicle
with all wheels on the ground because
vehicle or transmission damage could occur.
Place the front wheels on a two-wheel tow
dolly. If you are using a tow dolly, follow the
instructions specified by the equipment
provider.
Rear-Wheel Drive Vehicles
You cannot recreational tow your vehicle
with all wheels on the ground because
vehicle or transmission damage could occur.
We recommend towing your vehicle with all
four wheels off the ground, such as when
using a car-hauling trailer. Otherwise, you
cannot recreational tow your vehicle.
