Lincoln Navigator (2001) four-wheel driving [14/20] Trailer towing

Descend a hill in the same gear

you would use to climb up the hill

to avoid excessive brake

application and brake overheating.

Do not descend in neutral,

disengage overdrive or manually

shift to a lower gear. When

descending a steep hill, avoid

sudden hard braking as you could

lose control. When you brake hard,

the front wheels can’t turn and if

they aren’t turning, you won’t be

able to steer. The front wheels

have to be turning in order to

steer the vehicle. Rapid pumping

of the brake pedal will help you

slow the vehicle and still maintain

steering control.

If your vehicle has anti-lock

brakes, apply the brakes steadily.

Do not “pump” the brakes.

TRAILER TOWING

Your 4WD or AWD vehicle may be

equipped for towing trailers (or

may require a trailer tow package),

provided that the combined total

weight of the vehicle and trailer is

less than or equal to the

recommended Gross Combination

Weight Rating (GCWR). Refer to

“Ford Recreation Vehicle and

Trailer Towing Guide,” the

“Owner’s Guide” or see an

authorized Ford or

Lincoln/Mercury Dealer for

additional information.
