Nissan Sentra B18 (2020-2025) Owner's Manual: Flat towing your vehicle
Flat towing
Towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground is commonly referred to as flat towing, dinghy towing, or “four-down” towing. This method is sometimes used when towing a vehicle behind a recreational vehicle such as a motorhome.
CAUTION
- Failure to strictly follow these flat towing guidelines may result in severe and costly transmission damage.
- When flat towing your Nissan Sentra, always tow the vehicle forward and never backward.
- Never tow a front-wheel-drive Nissan Sentra with the front wheels on the ground, as this can cause serious damage to the drivetrain and powertrain components.
- DO NOT flat tow any Nissan Sentra equipped with a Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT).
Doing so WILL cause internal transmission damage due to insufficient transmission lubrication.
Manual Transmission
- Always tow vehicles with a manual transmission in the N (Neutral) position.
- After every 500 miles (805 km) of towing, start the engine and allow it to idle for at least two minutes with the transmission in N (Neutral). Failure to perform this procedure may result in internal transmission damage.
Continuously Variable Transmission
To tow a Nissan Sentra equipped with a Continuously Variable Transmission, an approved vehicle dolly MUST be placed under the drive wheels. Always adhere to the dolly manufacturer’s instructions and safety recommendations when using their equipment.
