I intend to 4 wheel tow my fiesta with a manual transmission. Per the owners manual, it says for a MT there is only a 2 step process: Put the car in neutral and release the parking brake. It does not say to put the ignition switch to on.
For the auto tranny, it does say to put the ignition switch to on.
I worried about damaging the vehicle, so I called Ford owner's assistance and they read the owner's manual back to me.
Can anyone explain why it is okay to tow a manual tranny with the ignition switch off? Won't the front wheel steering lock just like the auto?
