NISSAN recommends that your vehicle be towed
with the driving (rear) wheels off the ground or
place the vehicle on a flatbed truck as illustrated.

CAUTION

Never tow automatic transmission

models with the rear wheels on the
ground or four wheels on the ground
(forward or backward), as this may
cause serious and expensive damage to
the transmission. If it is necessary to
tow the vehicle with the front wheels
raised always use towing dollies under
the rear wheels.

When towing automatic or manual

transmission models with the front
wheels on the ground or on towing
dollies:

– Place the ignition switch in the OFF

position, and secure the steering
wheel in a straight-ahead position
with a rope or similar device. Never
secure the steering wheel by placing
the ignition switch in the LOCK posi-
tion. This may damage the steering
lock mechanism (for models with a
steering lock mechanism).

If you have to tow manual transmission

models with the rear wheels on the
ground (if you do not use towing dol-
lies) or four wheels on the ground:

Always release the parking brake.

Move the transmission shift lever to

the N (Neutral) position

Observe the following restricted tow-

ing speeds and distances for manual
transmission models only:

Speed: Below 60 MPH (97 km/h)

Distance:

Less

than

500

miles

(805 km)

When towing long distances or speeds in excess
of 60 mph, remove the propeller shaft before
towing to prevent damage to the transmission.
See your NISSAN dealer for more information.
