When towing your vehicle, local regulations for towing must be followed. Incorrect towing equipment could damage your vehicle. To assure proper towing and prevent accidental damage to your vehicle, NISSAN recommends that you have a service operator tow your vehicle. It is advisable to have the service operator carefully read the following precautions.
If you have subscribed to NissanConnect Services, you will receive a notification on your connected device via the NissanConnect Services App notifying you about the tow.
Note: For Xtronic transmission models: When the ignition is switched off, the vehicle automatically shifts to the P (Park) position. You can prevent this using the Neutral Hold function. See “Neutral hold mode function (where fitted)” (P.237).
CAUTION: Never tow Xtronic transmission models with the front wheels on the ground or with all four wheels on the ground (forwards or backwards). 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.
NISSAN recommends that your vehicle should be towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground or that the vehicle be placed on a flatbed lorry as illustrated.
When towing with the front wheels on the ground (MT models only) or on towing dollies:
CAUTION: Never tow the vehicle with any wheels on the ground, as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
NISSAN recommends that towing dollies be used when towing your vehicle, or that the vehicle be placed on a flatbed lorry as illustrated.
When towing with the front wheels on towing dollies:
Refer to the towing eye location and instructions in the vehicle manual for proper use.
