emergency towing FORD EDGE 2019 Owners Manual

SelectShift in drive (D):
•
Provides temporary manual control of
the gear selection when you require a
more demanding response, for
example, when towing or overtaking.
This mode holds a selected gear for a
temporary period of time dependent
on driver input, for example, steering
wheel or accelerator pedal input.
SelectShift in sport (S):
• Provides a permanent manual gear
selection, where you can select the
gear.
To exit SelectShift mode:
• Press and hold the + paddle on the
steering wheel to deactivate
SelectShift mode in drive (D) or sport
(S).
OR
• Diesel vehicles only: Press and hold the
+ toggle or + steering wheel paddle for
a few seconds.
The instrument cluster displays your
current gear. If you request a gear that is
not available due to vehicle conditions, too
low or too high engine speed, the current
gear flashes three times.
Note: At full accelerator pedal travel, the
transmission may automatically downshift
for maximum performance.
Manual Park Release WARNING: When doing this
procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully apply the parking brake prior
to doing this procedure. Use wheels
chocks if appropriate. WARNING:
If the parking brake is
fully released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes
may not be working properly. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible. WARNING:
Do not drive your
vehicle until you verify that the
stoplamps are working.
Use the manual park release to move your
transmission from the park (P) position in
the event of an electrical malfunction or
emergency.
Activating the Manual Park Release
Cable
1. Apply the parking brake. See Electric
Parking Brake
(page 185).
Note: If vehicle battery is dead, for example,
no electrical power available, an external
power may be required to apply the parking
brake.

TOWING THE VEHICLE ON
FOUR WHEELS - 2.0L
Emergency Towing
WARNING: If your vehicle has a
steering wheel lock make sure the
ignition is in the accessory or on position
when being towed.
If your vehicle becomes inoperable without
access to wheel dollies or a vehicle
transport trailer, it can be flat-towed with
all wheels on the ground, regardless of the
powertrain and transmission configuration,
under the following conditions:
• Your vehicle is facing forward for
towing in a forward direction.
• Refer to the Manual Park Release
procedure. See
Automatic
Transmission (page 173). Failing to
do so may result in damage to the
transmission.
• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is
50 mi (80 km).
Recreational Towing
You cannot recreational tow your vehicle
with all wheels on the ground because
vehicle or transmission damage may occur.
We recommend towing your vehicle with
all four wheels off the ground such as
when using a car-hauling trailer. Otherwise,
you cannot recreational tow your vehicle. TOWING THE VEHICLE ON

Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational towing. An example of
recreational towing would be towing your
vehicle behind a motorhome. We designed
these guidelines to prevent damage to your
transmission.
