2022 FORD MAVERICK manual transmission

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.

Park your vehicle so
that you do not obstruct the flow of
traffic or place yourself in any danger and
set up a warning triangle. WARNING:
The jack supplied with
this vehicle is only intended for changing
a flat tire in an emergency. Do not
attempt to do any other work on your
vehicle when it is supported by the jack,
as your vehicle could slip off the jack.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death. WARNING: No person should place
any portion of their body under a vehicle
that is supported by a jack. WARNING:
Make sure that the
wheels are pointing straight ahead. WARNING:
If your vehicle has a

Make sure that the
vehicle jack is vertical to the jacking point
and the base is flat on the ground. WARNING:
Replace the wheels
and tires with the exact original brand,
size and construction that came
originally on your vehicle. Use of any
other wheel or tire combinations, even
with identical size ratings, may result in insufficient running clearances, tire
rubbing and eventual puncture. Failure
to follow tire replacement
recommendations can lead to tire failure,
loss of vehicle control, serious injury or
death.
WARNING:
Do not fit run flat tires
on vehicles that were not originally fitted
with them. See an authorized dealer for
more details about compatibility. WARNING:
Make sure there is no
grease or oil on the threads or the
surface between the wheel lugs and
nuts. This can cause the lug nuts to
loosen while driving. WARNING:
Have the lug nuts
checked for tightness and the tire
pressure checked as soon as possible. WARNING:
Do not install alloy
wheels using lug nuts designed for use
with steel wheels. Dissimilar Spare Wheel and Tire
