4x4 vehicles equipped with manual-shift transfer case:
•
Release the parking brake.
•
Turn the key in the ignition to the OFF position.
•
Place the transmission in N (Neutral).
•
Place the transfer case lever in N (Neutral).
•
Do not exceed 55 mph (88 km/h) vehicle speed.
•
The maximum recommended distance is unlimited.
•
The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no
damage is done to the internal transfer case components.
The transfer case N (Neutral) position overrides the transmission
and puts the vehicle in neutral regardless of transmission gearshift
lever position. The vehicle can move forward or backward.
This position should only be used when towing the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the
N (Neutral) position. Always set the parking brake fully and turn
off the ignition when leaving the vehicle.
After reaching the destination, you must place your vehicle’s 4x4
gearshift lever in gear (2H, 4H or 4L).
Vehicles equipped with automatic transmission and 4x4 vehicles
equipped with an electronic-shift transfer case:
•
Release the parking brake.
•
Turn the key in the ignition to the OFF position.
•
Place the transmission in N (Neutral).
•
Do not exceed a distance of 50 miles (80 km).
•
Do not exceed 35 mph (56 km/h) vehicle speed.
•
The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no
damage is done to the internal transfer case components.
If a distance of 50 miles (80 km) or a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h) must
be exceeded, you must disconnect the front (4x4 only) and rear
driveshafts. Ford recommends the driveshafts be removed/installed only
by a qualified technician at an authorized dealer. See your authorized
dealer for driveshaft removal/installation.
Improper removal/installation of the driveshaft can cause
transmission fluid or transfer case fluid loss, damage to the
driveshaft and internal transmission and transfer case
components.
