Important Notice:
This publication should not be used while driving. The procedures in this
publication should only be used by qualified and trained personnel.
This Road Service Quick Reference Guide was developed to highlight some common
procedures when servicing or towing a Lincoln vehicle. It is not all inclusive. For
complete information: the applicable vehicles owner’s manual, Ford Wrecker Towing
Manual and the AAA Towing and Service Manual should be used in conjunction with
this guide.
The procedures recommended and described in this guide are effective methods of
performing light service and towing operations. Some of these procedures require the use
of auxiliary equipment specially designed for the purpose. The auxiliary equipment
should be used when and as recommended and whenever the trained operator deems it
appropriate. It is important to read the various WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES in
this manual in order to minimize the risk of personal injury to service personnel and or
customers and to avoid procedures which may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe. It
is also important to understand that these warnings, cautions and notes are not exhaustive.
Neither AAA nor the auto and towing equipment manufacturers could possibly know,
evaluate and advise the reader of all conceivable methods of towing or evaluate
individual situations. Accordingly, anyone who uses a towing procedure must be
thoroughly convinced that neither personal safety nor vehicle safety will be jeopardized
by the selected procedure.
AAA is not responsible for changes made by the manufacturers to the vehicles or their
recommendations. Important changes in procedures will be furnished to all manual users
on the internet at AAA.biz/auto.
