TOW TRUCK TOWING

Tow Truck Towing

INFOID:0000000009266902

CAUTION:

• Never tow a CVT or A/T model with the rear wheels raised and the front wheels on the ground. This

may cause serious and expensive damage to the transaxle. If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with

the rear wheels raised, always use towing dollies under the front wheels.

• Never tow a CVT or A/T model from the rear (that is backward) with four wheels on the ground. This

may cause serious and expensive damage to the transaxle.

NISSAN recommends that the vehicle be towed with the driving

(front) wheels off the ground.

CAUTION:

• Always release the parking brake when towing the vehicle

with the front wheels raised with the rear wheels on the

ground.

• When towing instruction transaxle models with the front wheels

on the ground (if a towing dolly is not 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. 

Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position.

Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a Stuck Vehicle)

INFOID:0000000009266903

FRONT

WARNING:

• Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.

• Do not spin your tires at high speed. This could cause them to explode and result in serious injury.

Parts of your vehicle could also overheat and be damaged.

CAUTION:

• Tow chains or cables must be attached only to the vehicle recovery hooks or main structural mem-

bers of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.

• Do not use the vehicle tie downs to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc. Never tow the vehi-

cle using the vehicle tie downs or recovery hooks.

• Always pull the cable straight out from the front of the vehicle. Never pull on the hook at an angle.

• Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake or

cooling systems.

• Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or

recovery.

CVT or A/T 

To tow a vehicle equipped with a CVT or A/T, an appropriate vehicle dolly MUST be placed under the towed

vehicle's drive wheels. Always follow the dolly manufacture's recommendations when using their product.

If the vehicle is stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc., use the following procedure:
1. Turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control System.
2. Make sure the area in front and behind the vehicle is clear of obstructions.

3. Turn the steering wheel right and left to clear an area around the front tires.
4. Slowly rock the vehicle forward and backward.

Shift back and forth between R (reverse) and D (drive).

Apply the accelerator as little as possible to maintain the rocking motion.

Release the accelerator pedal before shifting between R and D.

Do not spin the tires above 35 m.p.h. (55 km/h).

5. If the vehicle can not be freed after a few tries, contact a professional towing service to remove the vehi-

cle.

STEP

DESCRIPTION

STEP 1

Get detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident occurred.
The following are key pieces of information required to make a good analysis:

WHAT

Vehicle Model, Engine, Transmission/Transaxle and the System (i.e. Radio).

WHEN

Date, Time of Day, Weather Conditions, Frequency.

WHERE

Road Conditions, Altitude and Traffic Situation.

HOW

System Symptoms, Operating Conditions (Other Components Interaction). 
Service History and if any After Market Accessories have been installed. 

STEP 2

Operate the system, road test if necessary.
Verify the parameter of the incident.
If the problem cannot be duplicated, refer to “Incident Simulation Tests”.

STEP 3

Get the proper diagnosis materials together including:
• Power Supply Routing
• System Operation Descriptions
• Applicable Instruction Sections
• Check for any Service Bulletins
Identify where to begin diagnosis based upon your knowledge of the system operation and the customer comments.

STEP 4

Inspect the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage.
Determine which circuits and components are involved and diagnose using the Power Supply Routing and Harness Lay-
outs.

STEP 5

Repair or replace the incident circuit or component.

STEP 6

Operate the system in all modes. Verify the system works properly under all conditions. Make sure you have not inad-
