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.
