- (CVT) Continuously Variable Transmission
- (M/T) Manual transmission
NISSAN recommends that your vehicle be towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground or place the vehicle on a flat bed truck as illustrated.
- (CVT) Continuously Variable Transmission
- (M/T) Manual transmiss
CAUTION
- Never tow Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) models with the front wheels on the ground or four wheels on the ground (forward or backward), as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission. If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels raised always use towing dollies under the front wheels.
- When towing Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) models with the front wheels on towing dollies, or when towing manual transmission (M/T) models with the front wheels on the ground:
- Place the ignition switch to the OFF
position, and secure the steering
wheel in a straight-ahead position
with a rope or similar device. Never
secure the steering wheel by placing
the ignition switch in the LOCK position.
This may damage the steering lock mechanism (for models with steering lock mechanism).
- Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position.
- When towing Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) or manual transmission models (M/T) with the rear wheels on the ground (if you do not use towing dollies): Always release the parking brake.
- Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances for manual transmissions (M/T) only:
- Speed: Below 80 km/h (50 MPH)
- Distance: Less than 80 km (50 miles)
