CAUTION

DO NOT tow AWD models with any of the wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the powertrain.

Front-Wheel Drive models

NISSAN recommends that your vehicle be towed with the driving wheels (front) off the ground or place the vehicle on a flatbed truck as illustrated.

WARNING

Never tow your vehicle with the front wheels on the ground or 4 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 with the rear wheels on the ground or on towing dollies, place the ignition switch in the ON position, and secure the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position with a rope or similar device.
