Before VIN 343314

CAUTION:
- All applicable State or Provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
- It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage during towing operation. Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
- Always attach safety chains before towing.
- When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and power train are in good order. If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
- Never tow an automatic transmission model from the rear (i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.




NISSAN recommends that a dolly be used as illustrated when towing 4-wheel drive models.

CAUTION:
- When towing with the front wheels on the ground or rear wheels on the ground (If you do not use towing dollies):
Set the free-running hubs to the free position and move the transfer case shift lever into the "2H" position.
- When towing with the front on the ground: Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead position with a rope or similar device. Never place the ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result in damage to the steering lock mechanism.
- When towing manual transmission models with the rear wheels on the ground:
Always release the parking brake and move the transmission shift lever to the neutral position.
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.

Speed: Below 95 kph (60 MPH)
Distance: Less than 800 km (500 miles)

If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the propeller shaft before hand to prevent damage to the transmission.

VEHICLE RECOVERY (FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE)
