INFINITI recommends that a dolly be used as illustrated when towing AWD models.
CAUTION:
Never tow AWD models with any of the wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and expen-
sive damage to the powertrain.
Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a Stuck Vehicle) NAS00082
FRONT
Securely install the vehicle recovery hook stored with jacking tools.
Make sure that the hook is properly secured in the stored place after
use.
WARNING:

Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.

Do not spin your tires at high speed. This could cause them
to explode and result in serious injury. Parts of your vehicle
could also overheat and be damaged.
CAUTION:

Tow chains or cables must be attached only to the vehicle
recovery hooks or main structural members of the vehicle.
Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.

Do not use the vehicle tie downs to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc. Never tow the
vehicle using the vehicle tie downs or recovery hooks.

Always pull the cable straight out from the front of the vehicle. Never pull on the hook at an angle.

Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake
or cooling systems.

Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or
recovery.
REAR
WARNING:

Rear hook is not available.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
To tow a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission, an appropriate vehicle dolly MUST be placed
under the towed vehicle's drive wheels. Always follow the dolly manufacture's recommendations when using
their product.
If the vehicle is stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc., use the following procedure:
1. Turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control System.
2. Make sure the area in front and behind the vehicle is clear of obstructions.
3. Turn the steering wheel right and left to clear an area around the front tires.
4. Slowly rock the vehicle forward and backward.
Shift back and forth between R (reverse) and D (drive).
Apply the accelerator as little as possible to maintain the rocking motion.
Release the accelerator pedal before shifting between R and D.
Do not spin the tires above 35 mph (55 km/h).
5. If the vehicle can not be freed after a few tries, contact a professional towing service to remove the vehi-
cle.
