TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
When towing your vehicle, local regulations for tow-
ing must be followed. Incorrect towing equipment
could damage your vehicle. To assure proper tow-
ing and to prevent accidental damage to your ve-
hicle, NISSAN recommends that you have a service
operator tow your vehicle. It is advisable to have the
service operator carefully read the following pre-
cautions.
RECOMMENDED TOWING
CAUTION
NEVER tow automatic transmission (DCT) models
with the front wheels on the ground or with all
four wheels on the ground (forwards or
backwards), this may cause serious and expen-
sive damage to the transmission. If it is necessary
to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, al-
ways use towing dollies under the front wheels.
WARNING
Do not allow any occupants in the vehicle that
is being towed.

NISSAN recommends that your vehicle should be
towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground
or that the vehicle be placed on a flat bed lorry as
