Part Time 4WD Models: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NISSAN recommends that a dolly be used as illustrated when towing 4WD models.
CAUTION:
If towing with the front wheels on the ground or with the rear wheels on the ground (if you do not use towing dollies) is necessary: Move the transfer case shift lever into the 2H position.
- When towing with the front wheels on the ground: On manual transmission models to move the shift lever to the N (neutral) position, turn the ignition key to the OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a straightahead position with a rope or similar device.
On automatic transmission models to move the selector lever to N (neutral) position, turn the ignition key to the ACC position. After moving the selector lever to the N (neutral) position, turn the ignition key to the OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a straightahead 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 or four wheels on the ground: Always release the parking brake and move the transmission shift lever to the N (neutral) position.
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
