FLAT TOWING

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground is sometimes called flat towing. This
method is sometimes used when towing a vehicle
behind a recreational vehicle, such as a motor
home.

CAUTION

Failure to follow these guidelines can

result in severe transmission damage.

Whenever flat towing your vehicle, al-

ways tow forward, never backward.

DO NOT tow any automatic transmis-

sion vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground (flat towing). Doing so WILL
DAMAGE internal transmission parts
due to lack of transmission lubrication.

For emergency towing procedures refer

to “Towing recommended by NISSAN”
in the “In case of emergency” section of
this manual.

Automatic Transmission

To tow a vehicle equipped with an automatic
transmission, an appropriate vehicle dolly MUST
be placed under the towed vehicle’s drive
wheels. Always follow the dolly manufacturer’s
recommendations when using their product.

WARNING

Do not use this vehicle for snowplowing.
Installing a snowplow may affect vehicle
handling. This may cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle and could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal injury.
