Tow Truck TowingNJGI0009S05CAUTION:
All applicable local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.
It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid
possible damage to the vehicle during towing operation.
Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at
dealer.
Always attach safety chains before towing.
When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering
system and power train are in good order. If any unit is
damaged, dollies must be used.
NISSAN recommends that the vehicle be towed with the driving
(front) wheels off the ground as illustrated.
TOWING AN AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE MODEL WITH
FOUR WHEELS ON GROUND
NJGI0009S0502Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
Speed:
Below 50 km/h (30 MPH)
Distance:
Less than 65 km (40 miles)
CAUTION:
Never tow an automatic transaxle model from the rear (i.e.,
backward) with four wheels on the ground as this may cause
serious and expensive damage to the transaxle.
TOWING AN AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE MODEL WITH
REAR WHEELS RAISED (WITH FRONT WHEELS ON
GROUND)
NJGI0009S0503Never tow an automatic transaxle model with rear wheels raised
(with front wheels on ground) as this may cause serious and
expensive damage to the transaxle. If it is necessary to tow it with
rear wheels raised, always use a towing dolly under the front
wheels.

3. Tighten mounting bolts in two steps in numerical order shown in
figure.
4. Install fuel feed hose.
CAUTION:
Install hose clamp avoiding interference with bulge, and
securely tighten it
5. Install remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
●Check for fuel leakage with following procedure.
1. Turn ignition switch ON (do not start engine), and check connections for leakage by applying fuel pressure
to fuel piping.
2. Start engine, and re-check connections for fuel leakage by increasing engine speed. 1st step : 11.8 - 13.8 N·m (1.2 - 1.4 kg-m, 9 - 10 ft-lb)
2nd step : 17 - 23 N·m (1.7 - 2.4 kg-m, 13 - 17 ft-lb)
