4-3.2 Towing Guidelines
Nissan strongly recommends that LEAF be towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground or that the
vehicle be placed on a flatbed truck. • Never tow with the front wheels on the ground or four (4) wheels on the ground
(forward
or backward) , as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the motor.
• Transport the vehicle only after turning the power switch OFF.
• When towing this vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground (if you do not use towing dollies) , always release the parking brake.
• Safety chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
• Do not use the vehicle tie down hook to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.
• Never tow a vehicle using the vehicle tie down hook.
• Always pull the cable straight out from the front of the vehicle. Never pull on the vehicle at an angle.
• Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake, high voltage or cooling systems.
• Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or recovery.

4-6.1 Before Using Emergency Tire Puncture Repair Kit
• If any foreign object (for example, a screw or nail) is embedded in the tire, do not remove it.
• Check the expiration date of the sealant (shown on the label attached to the bottle) . Never use a sealant if the expiration date has passed.
4-6.2 Repairing the Tire 1. Take out the speed restriction sticker from the aircompressor, then put it in a location where the driver can
see it while driving. Do not obstruct the view of gauges or
warning
lights with the sticker. Do not put the
sticker on the steering wheel pad.
2. Take the hose (1) and power plug (2) out of the aircompressor. Remove the cap of the bottle holder from
the air compressor.
3. Remove the cap from the tire sealant bottle and screw the bottle clockwise onto the bottle holder. Leave the
bottle seal intact. Screwing the bottle onto the bottle
holder will pierce the seal of the bottle. AAYIA0131ZZ
