4-3.2 Towing Guidelines
Nissan strongly recommends that LEAF be towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground or that the
vehicle be placed on a flatbed truck. • Never tow with the front wheels on the ground or four (4) wheels on the ground
(forward
or backward) , as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the motor.
• Transport the vehicle only after turning the power switch OFF.
• When towing this vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground (if you do not use towing dollies) , always release the parking brake.
• Safety chains or cables must be attached only to the 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.
• 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.
