TOWING NISSAN MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES
The Service and Owner's Manuals state that speeds below 30 m.p.h. and distances of less than 40 miles should be observed when towing Manual or Automatic Transmission vehicles with four wheels on the ground. These restrictions should be observed when towing Automatic Transmission vehicles. However, the Factory informs us that the following limitations apply when towing Manual Transmission vehicles with four wheels on the ground (for example behind a motor home).
Tow forward only. Do not tow a Nissan vehicle backward.
TOWING NISSAN MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES
* These are maximum distances these vehicles may be towed without damage to the gear rain. In general, any Nissan vehicle should be started, warmed up, and driven at least two miles after it has been towed these distances - more frequently if possible.
