4-3.2 Towing Guidelines
Infiniti strongly recommends that Q50 HYBRID be towed with the driving (rear) wheels off the ground or
that a dolly be used as illustrated.
• Never tow with the rear wheels on the ground or four (4) wheels on the ground (forwardor backward) , as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the motor.
• Never tow AWD models with any of the wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• Transport the vehicle only after turning the ignition switch OFF.
• Safety chains or cables must be attached only to the vehicle recovery hook or main structural members of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
• Do not use the vehicle tie down hook to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.
• Never tow a vehicle using the vehicle tie down hook or recovery hook.
• Always pull the cable straight out from the front of the vehicle. Never pull on the vehicle at an angle.
• Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake, high voltage or cooling systems.
• Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or recovery.
Perform vehicle towing by holding up drive (rear) wheels or on flatbed in order to prevent secondary
damage from voltage generated by the motor. In addition, turn the ignition switch OFF when towing the
vehicle. Refer to the following illustrations:
