Nissan Sentra Service Manual: Tow Truck Towing
NISSAN recommends that vehicle be towed with driving (front) wheels off the ground or that a dolly be used.
- CVT: Continuously Variable Transmission
- M/T: Manual transmission
CAUTION:
- All applicable state or Provincial laws and local laws regarding
the towing operation must be obeyed.
- It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible
damage to the vehicle during towing operation. Towing
is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
- Always attach safety chains before towing.
- When towing, check that the transmission, steering system
and powertrain are in good order. If any unit is damaged, dollies
must be used.
- When towing CVT or M/T models with the rear wheels on the
ground (if you do not use towing dollies): Always release the
parking brake.
- When towing CVT models or M/T models with the front wheels
on towing dollies:
- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and secure the
steering wheel in a straight ahead position with a rope or similar
device. Never secure the steering wheel by turning the
ignition switch to the LOCK position. This may damage the
steering lock mechanism.
- Move the selector lever to the N (Neutral) position.
- Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances
for manual transmissions (M/T) only when any wheels are
touching the ground:
- Speed: Below 80 km/h (50 MPH)
- Distance: Less than 80 km (50 miles).
- Never tow CVT models with the front wheels on the ground or
four wheels on the ground (forward or backward), as 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.
- Never tow a CVT model or an M/T model from the rear (that is
backward) with four wheels on the ground. This may cause
serious and expensive damage to the transaxle.
