2022 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR tow

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.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
PRECAUTIONS
Use the following guidelines when towing
your vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in vehicle damage not covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Note:
Make sure you properly secure your
vehicle to the tow vehicle.
Note: If you are unsure of the vehicle ’s
configuration, contact an authorized dealer.
RECREATIONALLY TOWING YOUR
VEHICLE - 4X4 WARNING: Do not disconnect the
battery when recreationally towing your
vehicle. This prevents the transfer case
from shifting properly and could cause the
vehicle to roll, even if the transmission is
in park (P). WARNING:
Placing the transfer case
in its neutral position could cause your
vehicle to freely roll. Make sure you press
and hold the brake pedal and the vehicle
is in a secure, safe position when you place
the transfer case in its neutral position.
Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational towing. An example of
recreational towing would be towing your
vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are to make sure that you do not
damage the transmission.
You can only tow your vehicle with all wheels
on the ground by placing the transfer case
in its neutral position and engaging the
recreational tow feature. Perform the
following steps after positioning your vehicle
behind the tow vehicle and properly securing
them together.
Note: Put your climate control system in
recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering your vehicle. Note:
Failure to put the transfer case in its
neutral position can damage vehicle
components.
Note: You can check the towing status at
any time by opening the driver door or
turning the ignition to the accessory or on
position.
