Tow Truck Towing

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

CAUTION:

Never tow an automatic transaxle 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 an automatic transaxle 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 as shown.

CAUTION:

Always release the parking brake when towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised with the rear wheels on the ground.
