Tow Truck Towing
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 a towing operation.
+Attach safety chains for all towing.
+When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering
system and power train are in good order. If any unit is
damaged, a dolly must be used.
+When towing with the front wheels on the ground:
Turn the ignition key to the ``OFF'' position and secure the
steering wheel in a straight-ahead 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.
+When towing manual transmission models with the rear
wheels on the ground:
Release the parking brake and move the gearshift lever to
neutral (``N'' position).
+For 4-wheel drive models:
Set the manual-lock free-running hubs to the free position and
2-way lock free-running hubs to the auto position. (See
``
Transfer case shifting procedures for 4-wheel drive
vehicles'' in ``Starting and driving'' section.) Move the transfer
case shift lever into the ``2H'' position and the transmission shift
lever into the neutral (``N'') position.
Do not shift the transfer lever to the ``4L'' position. This will
cause damage to the transmission.
NISSAN recommends that a dolly be used as illustrated.
If you have to tow a manual transmission model with front
wheels raised (with rear wheels on ground)
Observe the following restricted raising heights.
+Do not raise the front end over!.
Wagon
!= 600 mm (23.62 in)
Hardtop
!= 500 mm (19.69 in)

LIFTING POINTS AND TOW TRUCK TOWING
GI-41
If you have to tow an automatic transmission model
with four wheels on ground or tow an automatic
transmission model with front wheels raised (with rear
wheels on ground)
Observe the following restricted towing speeds, distances and rais-
ing heights.
+Speed: Below 50 km/h (30 MPH)
+Distance: Less than 65 km (40 miles)
+Do not raise the front end over!.
Wagon
!= 600 mm (23.62 in)
Hardtop
!= 500 mm (19.69 in)
If the speed, distance or height must necessarily be greater,
remove the propeller shaft beforehand to prevent damage to the
transmission.
CAUTION:
+Never tow your vehicle from the rear (i.e., backward) with
four wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and
expensive damage to the transmission.
+Be sure to place the transfer case shift lever into the ``2H''
position and the transmission shift lever into the neutral
(``N'') position if the vehicle is to be towed.
TOWING HOOKS
The towing hooks are provided only for emergency.
+Use the towing hooksonly, not other parts of the vehicle.
Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
+Use the towing hooksonlyto free a vehicle stuck in sand,
snow, mud, etc.Nevertow the vehicle for long distances using
only the towing hooks.
+The 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.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ``AIR
BAG'' and ``SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER''
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ``AIR BAG'' and ``SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER'' used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision.
The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL Y61 is as follows (The composition var-
ies according to the destination.):
Driver air bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), front passenger air bag module (located
on the instrument panel on passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioner, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp,
wiring harness and spiral cable.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this Service Manual.
WARNING:
+To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag in¯ation, all maintenance must be performed
by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
+Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the RS section.
+Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation either just before
the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a
(R-134a)
WARNING:
+CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refriger-
ants must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. If the refrigerants are mixed, compres-
sor failure is likely to occur.
+Use only speci®ed lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) com-
ponents. If lubricant other than that speci®ed is used, compressor failure is likely to occur.
+The speci®ed HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The
following handling precautions must be observed:
a: When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component
to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
b: When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until
just before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly
as possible to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
c: Only use the speci®ed lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of
lubricant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not
be used.
d: Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose
and throat. Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a)
refrigerant. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming ser-
vice. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
e: Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam
parts. Damage may result.
