Driving Exceeding any vehicle weight rating limitation could result in serious damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury. TRAILER TOWING Your vehicle is not equipped to tow. No towing packages are available through Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealers. RECREATIONAL TOWING (ALL WHEELS ON THE GROUND) Follow these guidelines for your specific powertrain combination to tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground (such as behind a recreational vehicle). These guidelines are designed to ensure that your transmission is not damaged due to insufficient lubrication. All Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) vehicles: This applies to all cars and 4x2 trucks/sport utilities with rear wheel drive capability. • Place the transmission in N (Neutral) • Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h) • Maximum distance is 50 miles (80 km) If a distance of 50 miles (80 km) or a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h) must be exceeded, you must disconnect the driveshaft. Ford recommends the driveshaft be removed/installed only by a qualified technician. Improper removal/installation of the driveshaft may cause damage to the driveshaft and internal transmission components. See your local dealer for driveshaft removal/installation. 222 2004 Lincoln LS (dew) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
