Towing 269 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 the rear axle submerges in water. Water may have contaminated the rear axle lubricant, which does not normally require checking or changing unless it is leaking or other axle repair is required. TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE Note: Vehicles equipped with air suspension must turn off the air suspension control and ignition switch before towing. See Air suspension in the Driving Aids chapter. 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. We recommend the use of a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment to tow your vehicle. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not approved a slingbelt towing procedure. Vehicle damage may occur if towed incorrectly, or by any other means. 2013 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, April 2013 USA (fus)
