4-3.2 Towing Guidelines
Nissan
strongly recommends that Rogue HYBRID be towed with the driving wheels off the ground or that
the vehicle be placed on a flatbed truck. • AWD Models: Never tow with any of the wheels on the ground, as this may cause
serious
and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• FWD Models: Never tow with the front 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 main structural members of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
• Do not use the vehicle tie down points to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.
• Never tow a vehicle using the vehicle tie down.
• Always pull the recovery device straight out from 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 wheels (front or all depending on model) 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 illustration:
