The sequence for connecting the jumper cables
178
Jump-Starting
1.
Make sure that the jumper cables are not in
the way of moving engine parts, then start
the booster vehicle. Run the engine at a
moderate speed.
2.
Let the discharged battery charge for a few
minutes and then start the disabled vehicle.
It may take a couple of tries before the
vehicle starts. If the vehicle does not start
after several attempts, there may be a
different problem.
3.
When both vehicles are running, let them
idle for a few minutes to charge the
discharged battery.
Removing jumper cables
1.
Always remove the jumper cables in
reverse order.
Remove the negative (-) end
of the jumper cable from the metallic surface
on the engine or frame of the disabled
vehicle.
2.
Remove the negative (
S
) cable from the
booster battery.
3.
Remove the positive (+) cable from the
booster battery.
4.
Remove the other end of the positive (+)
cable from the discharged battery.
After the vehicle is started, let it idle for a while
to let the engine “relearn” its idle conditions.
Drive it around for a while with all electrical
accessories turned off to let the battery recharge.
Driveability may be deteriorated slightly until all
drive modes are “relearned.”
You may need to
use a battery charger to fully recharge the
battery.

Towing Your Vehicle
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact
a professional towing service or, if you are a
member, your roadside assistance center.
Recommended towing options include wheel lift
towing or flat bed towing.
When calling for a tow truck, tell the operator
what kind of vehicle you have. A towing
manual is available from Ford Motor Company
for all authorized tow truck operators. Have
your tow truck driver refer to this manual for
the proper hook-up and towing procedures for
your vehicle.

Towing With the Back Wheels Off the
Ground
For automatic and manual transaxle vehicles, if
it is necessary to tow your vehicle from the rear
(with the rear wheels off the ground), a dolly
must be placed under the front tires to prevent
transaxle damage.
If the slingbelt towing method must be used, use
the following procedure:
1.
Place the front wheels on wheel dollies.
2.
Place T-hooks into the T-hook slots located
on the frame rail behind the rear wheels.
3.
Route the tow chain to clear the exhaust
pipes.
4.
Position the tow bar under the rear bumper.
5.
Slowly raise the vehicle off the ground.
6.
Attach safety chains around the rear
crossmember.
