2WD models with manual
transmission
NISSAN recommends that towing dollies
be used when towing your vehicle or place
the vehicle on the flatbed truck as illus-
trated.
If you must use a pull behind tow truck put
the manual transmission in N (Neutral).
Your vehicle speed should never exceed
97 km/h (60 mph) when towing your ve-
hicle. After towing 805 km (500 mi), start
and idle the engine with the transmission
in N (Neutral) for two minutes. Failure to idle
the engine after every 805 km (500 mi) of
towing may cause damage to the trans-
mission’s internal parts.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these guidelines can
result in severe transmission damage.
If you have to tow manual transmis-
sion models with the rear wheels on
the ground (if you do not use towing
dollies) or four wheels on the ground:
Always release the parking brake.
Move the transmission shift lever
to the N (Neutral) position
Observe the following restricted
towing speeds and distances for
manual transmission models only:
Speed: Below 97 km/h (60 mph)
Distance: Less than 805 km (500
mi)
When towing long distances or speeds in
excess of 97 km/h (60 mph), remove the
propeller shaft before towing to prevent
damage to the transmission. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
additional information.
VEHICLE RECOVERY (freeing a
stuck vehicle)
WARNING
To avoid vehicle damage, serious per-
sonal injury or death when recovering a
stuck vehicle:
Contact a professional towing service
to recover the vehicle if you have any
questions regarding the recovery
procedure.
Tow chains or cables must be at-
tached only to main structural mem-
bers of the vehicle.
