Tow Truck Towing

CAUTION:
^ When towing, make sure that the transaxle, axles, steering system, and Powertrain are in working condition. If any unit is damaged, towing dollies, or a flat bed truck must be used.
^ Always attach safety chains before towing.

NISSAN recommends that vehicles be towed with the driving (rear) wheels off the ground as illustrated.

CAUTION:
^ Always release the parking brake when towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised with the rear wheels on the ground.
^ When towing manual transaxle models with the front wheels on the ground (If a towing dollies does not be used), turn the ignition key to the OFF position, and secure the steering wheel in the 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.
Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position.
^ Never tow an automatic transaxle model with the rear wheels raised and the front wheels on the ground. This may cause serious and expensive damage to the transaxle. It it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, always use towing dollies under the front wheels.
^ Never tow an automatic transaxle model from the rear (i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground. This may cause serious and expensive damage to the transaxle.
