Tow Truck Towing

CAUTION:
- All applicable state or Provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
- It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during towing operation. Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure at dealer.
- Always attach safety chains before towing.
- When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and power train are in good order. If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
- Never tow an automatic transmission model from the rear (that is backward) with four wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.







2WD MODELS
INFINITI recommends that vehicle be towed with the driving (rear) wheels off the ground as illustrated.

CAUTION:
- When towing manual or automatic transmission models with the front wheels on the ground: Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead position with a rope or similar device. Never place the ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result in damage to the steering lock mechanism.
- When towing manual transmission models with the rear wheels on the ground or four wheels on the ground (if you do not use towing dollies): Always release the parking brake and move the transmission shift lever to the N (neutral) position.

Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances. Manual transmission models:
- Speed: Below 95 km/h (60 MPH)
- Distance: Less than 800 km (500 miles)

If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the propeller shaft beforehand to prevent damage to the transmission.

4WD MODELS
INFINITI recommends that a dolly or a flat bed truck be used as illustrated when towing all-mode 4WD models.

VEHICLE RECOVERY
- Use the towing hook only, not other parts of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
- Use the towing hook only to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc. Never tow the vehicle for a long distance using only the towing hook.
- The towing hook is under tremendous force when used to free a stuck vehicle. Always pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the vehicle. Never pull on the hook at a sideways angle.
- Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.
