Tow Truck TowingEAS001JB
CAUTION:

All applicable state or Provincial (in Canada) laws and 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.

Never 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.
2WD MODELS
NISSAN recommends that vehicle be towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground or that a dolly be
used as illustrated.
CAUTION:

Never tow automatic transmission models with the front wheels on the ground or four wheels on
the ground (forward or backward) as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the trans-
mission.
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, always use towing dollies under
the front wheels.

When towing automatic transmission models with the front wheels on towing dollies:
–Turn the ignition key to the OFF position, and secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead posi-
tion with a rope or similar device.
Never secure the steering wheel by turning the ignition key to the LOCK position. This may dam-
age the steering lock mechanism.
–Move the selector lever to the N (Neutral) position.
