Roadside Emergencies WRECKER TOWING If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional towing service or, if you are a member of a roadside assistance program, your roadside assistance service provider. It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift or flatbed equipment. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not approved a slingbelt towing procedure. Also, wrecker towing the vehicle by the frame-mounted tow hooks is not recommended or advised. If your vehicle is equipped with air suspension, the air suspension control and the ignition must be turned off before being towed. Refer to Air suspension in the Driving chapter. On 4x2 vehicles, it is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground (without dollies) and the rear wheels off the ground. On 4x4 vehicles, it is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with all the wheels off the ground. 274 2004 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
