2021 FORD EDGE manual transmission

Re-Enabling Your Vehicle
1. Switch the ignition off.
2. Attempt to start your vehicle.
3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Attempt to start your vehicle.
Note:
If your vehicle does not start after the
third attempt, have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible.
TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE If you need to tow your vehicle, contact a
professional towing service or your
roadside assistance service provider. Your manufacturer produces a towing
manual for all authorized tow truck
operators. Have your tow truck operator
refer to this manual for proper hook-up
and towing procedures.
We recommend the use of a wheel lift and
dollies or flatbed equipment to tow your
vehicle. Vehicle damage could occur if
towed incorrectly, or by any other means.
Front-wheel and rear-wheel drive vehicles
must have their designated drive wheels
off the ground regardless of towing
direction. Use tow dollies to prevent
damage to the transmission.
All-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicles
require that all wheels be off the ground
using a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment. This prevents damage to the
transmission and drive system.
