Four-wheel drive models

NISSAN recommends that towing dollies be

used when towing your vehicle or place the ve-

hicle on a flat bed truck as illustrated.

CAUTION

Never tow 4WD models with any of the

wheels on the ground as this may cause

serious and expensive damage to the

transfer case and transmission.

VEHICLE RECOVERY (freeing a stuck

vehicle)

WARNING

Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.
Do not spin your tires at high speed.

This could cause them to explode and

result in serious injury. Parts of your

vehicle could also overheat and be

damaged.

CAUTION

Tow chains or cables must be attached

only to the main structural members of

the vehicle or the towing hooks (if so

equipped). Otherwise, the vehicle body

will be damaged.

Use the towing hook (if so equipped)

only to free a vehicle stuck in sand,

snow, mud, etc. Never tow the vehicle

for a long distance using only the tow-

ing hook.
