2WD MODELSNBGI0008S0402INFINITI recommends that vehicle be towed with the driving (rear)
wheels off the ground as illustrated.
CAUTION:
IWhen towing manual or automatic transmission models
with the front wheels on the ground: Turn the ignition key
to the OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a
straightahead position with a rope or similar device. Never
place the ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result
in damage to the steering lock mechanism.
IWhen towing manual transmission models with the rear
wheels on the ground or four wheels on the ground (if you
do not use towing dollies): Always release the parking
brake and move the transmission shift lever to the N (neu-
tral) position.
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
Manual transmission models:
ISpeed: Below 95 km/h (60 MPH)
IDistance: Less than 800 km (500 miles)
If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the
propeller shaft beforehand to prevent damage to the transmission.
SGI950
4WD MODELSNBGI0008S0403INFINITI recommends that a dolly or a flat bed truck be used as
illustrated when towing all-mode 4WD models.

VEHICLE RECOVERYNBGI0008S0401IUse the towinghookonly, not other parts of the vehicle.
Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
IUse the towing hookonlyto free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow,
mud, etc.Nevertow the vehicle for a long distance using only
the towing hook.
IThe towing hook is under tremendous force when used to free
a stuck vehicle. Always pull the cable straight out from the front
or rear of the vehicle.Neverpull on the hook at a sideways
angle.
IStand clear of a stuck vehicle.
