CAUTION:
• Never tow a CVT model with the rear wheels raised and the front wheels on the ground. This may
cause serious and expensive damage to the transaxle. If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the
rear wheels raised, always use towi ng dollies under the front wheels.
• Never tow a CVT model from the rear (that is backw ard) with four wheels on the ground. This may
cause serious and expensive damage to the transaxle.
NISSAN recommends that the vehicle be towed with the driving
(front) wheels off the ground.

bers of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
• Do not use the vehicle tie downs to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc. Never tow the vehi-
cle using the vehicle tie downs or recovery hooks.
• Always pull the cable straight out from the front of the vehicle. Never pull on the hook at an angle.
• Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake or
cooling systems.
• Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps ar e not recommended for use in vehicle towing or
recovery.
CVT
To tow a vehicle equipped with a CVT, an appropriate vehicle dolly MUST be placed under the towed vehicle's
drive wheels. Always follow the dolly manufacture's recommendations when using their product.
If the vehicle is stuck in sand, snow , mud, etc., use the following procedure:
1. Turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control System.
2. Make sure the area in front and behind the vehicle is clear of obstructions.

STEP DESCRIPTION
STEP 1 Get detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident occurred.
The following are key pieces of information required to make a good analysis:
WHAT Vehicle Model, Engine, Transmission/Transaxle and the System (i.e. Radio).
WHEN Date, Time of Day, Weather Conditions, Frequency.
WHERE Road Conditions, Altitude and Traffic Situation.
HOW System Symptoms, Operating Conditions (Other Components Interaction).
Service History and if any After Market Accessories have been installed.
STEP 2 Operate the system, road test if necessary.
Verify the parameter of the incident.
If the problem cannot be duplicated, refer to “Incident Simulation Tests”.
STEP 3 Get the proper diagnosis materials together including:
• Power Supply Routing
• System Operation Descriptions
• Applicable Service Manual Sections
• Check for any Service Bulletins
Identify where to begin diagnosis based upon your knowledge of the system operation and the customer comments.
STEP 4 Inspect the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage.
Determine which circuits and components are involved and diagnose using the Power Supply Routing and Harness Lay-
outs.
STEP 5 Repair or replace the incident circuit or component.
STEP 6 Operate the system in all modes. Verify the system works properly under all conditions. Make sure you have not inad-
vertently created a new incident during your diagnosis or repair steps.
