TOW TRUCK TOWINGPFP:00000
Tow Truck TowingBAS0007V
CAUTION:

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 THE FRONT WHEELS ON THE GROUND
CAUTION:
Never tow an automatic transaxle model with the front wheels on the ground as this will cause serious
and expensive damage to the transaxle.
Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a Stuck Vehicle) BAS0007W

Always pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the
vehicle. Never pull on the vehicle at an angle.

Remove the front spoiler when you pull the vehicle forward. Oth-
erwise, the towing device may damage the spoiler.

Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recom-
mended for use in vehicle towing or recovery.

Use the recovery hooks only, not other parts of the vehicle. Oth-
erwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.

Use the recovery hooks only to free a vehicle stuck in sand,
snow, mud, etc. Never tow the vehicle for a long distance using
only the recovery hooks.

The recovery hooks are under tremendous force when used to
free a stuck vehicle.

Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.

Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace
NOTE:

(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with
CONSULT-II every 90,000 km (54,000 miles), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. (Refer to CVT-46, "
Check CVT Fluid Dete-
rioration Date" .) And if CONSULT-II is not available, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 90,000 km (54,000 miles).
Using transmission fluid other than Genuine Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the
warranty.

(2) Inspect once per year.

Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONMAINTENANCE INTERVAL
