CAUTION:
lAll applicable local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
lIt 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.
lAlways attach safety chains before towing.
lWhen towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and power train are in good order.
If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
lNever tow an automatic transmission model from the rear (that is backward) with four wheels on
the ground. This may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
NISSAN recommends that towing dollies be used when towing your
vehicle beplaced on a flat bed truck as illustrated.
TOWING AN AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE MODEL WITH FOUR WHEELS ON GROUND
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.

as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transaxle.

TOWING THE VEHICLE WITH REAR WHEELS RAISED (WITH FRONT WHEELS ON GROUND)
OR FRONT WHEELS RAISED
Never tow the vehicle with rear wheels raised(with front wheels on
ground)or front wheels raised as this may cause serious and expen-
sive damage to the transaxle. If it is necessary to tow it with rear
wheels raised or front wheels raised, always use a towing dolly
under the front wheels.
If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the
front and rear propeller shafts beforehand to prevent damage to the
transaxle.
Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a stuck vehicle)EAS000FM
lUse the towing hook only, not other parts of the vehicle. Other-
wise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
lUse the towing hook only to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow,
mud, etc. Never tow the vehicle for a long distance using only
the towing hook.
lThe 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. Never pull on the hook at an angle.
lStand clear of a stuck vehicle.
WA RN ING:
lDo not spin the tires at high speed. This could cause them
to explode and result in serious injury. Parts of the vehicle
could also overheat and be damaged.
