TOWING A TRAILER
WARNING
Never tow a trailer with an MKZ
Hybrid. This powertrain is not
designed to tow.
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.
•
Place the transmission in position N. If
you cannot move the transmission into
N, you must override it and enable stay
in neutral mode. Failing to do so may
result in damage to the transmission. See
Transmission (page 190).
•
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 your vehicle. See
Climate Control (page 138).
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.
Your vehicle can be towed with all four
wheels on the ground using the Neutral Tow
feature, or with all four wheels off the ground
using a vehicle transport trailer. If you are
using a vehicle transport trailer, follow the
instruction specified by the equipment
provider.
Neutral Tow
If you tow your vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground:
•
Tow only in the forward direction.
•
Release the parking brake.
•
Place the vehicle in Neutral Tow mode
by doing the following:
•
Put the ignition in accessory mode
(ignition on, engine off). See Keyless
Starting (page 163).
•
Select the neutral tow option in the
information display.
•
When prompted by the information
display, press the brake pedal and
select Neutral on the transmission.
Make sure the parking brake is off. If
done successfully, a confirmation
message appears in the display.
•
Shut the ignition off. See Keyless
Starting (page 163). If the process is
completed successfully, the N on the
transmission slowly blinks and a
confirmation message appears in the
display.
