4WD Models: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Infiniti QX56. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NISSAN does not recommend towing automatic transmission equipped vehicles with the drive wheels on the ground.

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.
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
1. Speed: Below 95 km/h (60 MPH)
2. Distance: Less than 800 km (500 miles)
