When we had our C-Max Energi (different car same powertrain, however) we always towed it on our Acme dolly in park with no ABS issues at all (I believe the ABS gets upset because it notices that the rear wheel positions have changed with respect to the fronts and it freaks out--a couple key cycles and its happy again. Had the same issue when I towed our Focus Electric; that traction control was not happy about that at all!).
Towed the C-Max a few thousand miles before the lease was up.

That's the way we towed our CMax hybrid, brake off/in park/ fob off and in my pocket for the a couple of trips.
To answer the OP question. "What is the right way to tow?"
4 down
The CMax was a total pleasure to flat tow... setup/tow/UNsetup, unlike our currant toad!
