Front-wheel drive models

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

WARNING

Never tow your vehicle with the front

wheels on the ground or 4 wheels on
the ground (forward or backward), as
this may cause serious and expensive
damage to the transmission. If it is nec-
essary to tow the vehicle with the rear
wheels raised always use towing dollies
under the front wheels.

When towing with the rear wheels on

the ground or on towing dollies, place
the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position, and secure the steering wheel
in the straight-ahead position with a
rope or similar device.

WARNING

To avoid vehicle damage, serious personal
injury or death when recovering a stuck
vehicle:

Contact a professional towing service

to recover the vehicle if you have any
questions

regarding

the

recovery

procedure.

Attach recovery devices only to main

structural members of the vehicle or the
recovery hooks.

Do not use the vehicle tie-downs to tow

or free a stuck vehicle.

Only use devices specifically designed

for vehicle recovery and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Always pull the recovery device straight

out from the front of the vehicle. Never
pull at an angle.

Route recovery devices so they do not

touch any part of the vehicle except the
attachment point.
