Have your vehicle inspected or repaired by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. When towing your vehicle, local regulations for tow-
ing must be followed. Incorrect towing equipment
could damage your vehicle. To assure proper tow-
ing and to prevent accidental damage to your ve-
hicle, NISSAN recommends that you have a service
operator tow your vehicle. It is advisable to have the
service operator carefully read the following precau-
tions.
WARNING
Do not allow any occupants in the vehicle that
is being towed.
Never get under your vehicle after it has been
lifted by a tow truck.
TOWING PRECAUTIONS
When towing:
Make sure that the transmission,
axles, steering system and power train are in
working condition. If any unit is damaged, the
vehicle must be towed using a dolly or be placed
on a flat bed lorry.
Release the handbrake and shift the manual
transmission (MT), automatic transmission (AT)
or continuously variable transmission (CVT) into
the N (Neutral) position before starting to tow
the vehicle.
Always attach safety chains before towing.
