Towing 199 If your vehicle is to be towed from the rear using wheel lift equipment, it is recommended that the front wheels be placed on a dolly to prevent damage to the front fascia. TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS Emergency Towing In the event your vehicle becomes disabled (without access to wheel dollies, car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all wheels on the ground, regardless of the powertrain/transmission configuration) under the following conditions: • The vehicle is facing forward so that it is towed in a forward direction. • The transmission is placed in position N. See Automatic transmission in the Transmission chapter if you cannot move the transmission into N. • Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h). • Maximum distance is 50 miles (80 kilometers). Recreational Towing Note: Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. See the Climate Control chapter. Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational (RV) towing. An example of recreational towing would be towing your vehicle behind a motorhome. These guidelines are designed to ensure that your transmission is not damaged. Do not tow your vehicle with any wheels on the ground, as vehicle or transmission damage may occur. It is recommended to tow your vehicle with all four (4) wheels off the ground, such as when using a car-hauling trailer. Otherwise, no recreational towing is permitted. 2013 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
