I simply follow the towing instructions in the C-Max owner's manual, and as part of the hook-up procedure I disable the automatic traction control. The next time I drive the car, the traction control comes on automatically, and I get a warning light about it needing service, but after the brakes are applied a couple of times the computer catches up and all is fine.
Have read about problems with the 2014 C-Max SEL level keyless feature, but don't know if they've been resolved. Anyone towing an SE or SEL four down?
The 12V system battery in the car needs some help with all the electronics and the aux brake system that need power when towing, so a charge wire from the MH is a needed addition to the wiring setup.
