support the frame when you have to get under the vehicle.
lPlace wheel chocks at both front and back of the wheels on the ground.

2-pole Lift
WARNING:
When lifting the vehicle, open the lift arms as wide as possible and ensure that the front and rear of
the vehicle are well balanced.
When setting the lift arm, do not allow the arm to contact the brake tubes, brake cable or fuel lines.

Tow Truck Towing
CAUTION:
lAll applicable local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
lIt is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during
towing operation.
lAttach safety chains for all towing.
lWhen towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and powertrain are in good order.
If any unit is damaged, a dolly must be used.
lWhen towing with the front wheels on the ground:
Turn the ignition key to the ``OFF'' position and secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead
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.
lWhen towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking brake and move the gear-
shift lever to neutral position (``N'' position).
lNever tow vehicle from the rear (i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground as this may cause
serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
lFor 4-wheel drive model:
Set the free-running hubs to the free position. Move the transfer case shift lever into the ``2H''
position and the transmission shift lever into the neutral (``N'') position.
2-WHEEL DRIVE MODELS
NISSAN recommends that vehicle be towed with the driving
(rear) wheels off the ground as illustrated.
Towing with four wheels on the ground or towing with rear wheels on the ground
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
Speed: Below 95 km/h (60 MPH)
Distance: Less than 800 km (500 miles)
If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the propeller shaft beforehand to prevent
damage to the transmission.

4-WHEEL DRIVE MODELS
NISSAN recommends that a dolly be used as illustrated when
towing 4-wheel drive models.
Towing with four wheels on the ground or towing with front or rear wheels on the ground
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
Speed: Below 95 km/h (60 MPH)
Distance: Less than 800 km (500 miles)
If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the front and rear propeller shafts beforehand
to prevent damage to the transmission.

Towing Point
Never tow the vehicle using only the towing points. To avoid damaging the vehicle body, use proper
towing equipment when towing.
VEHICLE RECOVERY (Freeing a stuck vehicle)
lPulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any
part of the suspension, steering, brake or cooling systems.
lAlways pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the
vehicle. Never pull the vehicle at a sideways angle.
lPulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not rec-
ommended for use for vehicle towing or recovery.
