4-3.2 Towing Guidelines
Nissan
strongly recommends that Rogue HYBRID be towed with the driving wheels off the ground or that
the vehicle be placed on a flatbed truck. • AWD Models: Never tow with any of the wheels on the ground, as this may cause
serious
and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• FWD Models: Never tow with the front wheels on the ground, as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• Transport the vehicle only after turning the ignition switch OFF.
• 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 points to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.
• Never tow a vehicle using the vehicle tie down.
• Always pull the recovery device straight out from 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.
Perform vehicle towing by holding up drive wheels (front or all depending on model) or on flatbed in order to
prevent secondary damage from voltage generated by the motor. In addition, turn the ignition switch OFF
when towing the vehicle. Refer to the following illustration:

4-4 Jacking Up the Vehicle and Changing a Tire
Always follow these instructions when jacking up the vehicle and changing a tire:
•
Never change a tire when the vehicle is on a slope, ice or slippery areas. Jack must be on
level ground.
• Make sure the parking brake is securely applied and shift selector is in P (Park) position.
• Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. If it is necessary to work under the vehicle, support it with safety stands.
• Use the correct jack-up points. Never use any other part of the vehicle for jack support.
• Never jack up the vehicle more than necessary.
• Never use blocks on or under the jack.
• Do not start or run the engine while vehicle is on the jack. It may cause the vehicle to move. This is especially true for vehicles with limited slip differentials.
• Do not allow passengers to stay in the vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Never run the engine with a wheel(s) off the ground. It may cause the vehicle to move.
• Be sure to block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being removed as the vehicle may move and result in personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death and/or
vehicle damage.

6. Once free, remove the bolt.
7.
Remove the spare tire.
8. Loosen each wheel nut one or two turns by turning it counterclockwise with the wheel nut wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts until the tire is off the ground.
9. Place the jack directly under the jack-up point as illustrated so the top of the jack contacts the vehicle at the jack-up point. Align the jack head between the two notches in the front or the rear
as shown. Also fit the groove of the jack head between the notches as shown. The jack
should be used on level firm ground.
10. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever and rod with both hands as shown. Carefully raise the vehicle until the tire clears the ground. Remove the wheel nuts, and then remove the tire. AAYIA0513ZZ

11. Install new or repaired tire and hand-tighten the wheel
nuts with the wheel nut wrench in an alternating pattern. Always follow these instructions when changing a tire:
•

Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel
nuts can cause the wheel to become loose or come
off. This could cause an accident.
• Do not use oil or grease on the wheel studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts to become loose.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury or death and/or vehicle damage.
12. Securely torque the wheel nuts in an alternating pattern to 83 ft-lb (113 Nm) .
13. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire touches the ground. Then, with the wheel nut wrench, tighten the wheel nuts securely in the sequence illustrated (A,B,C,D, E). Lower the vehicle
completely. Always follow these instructions when using the jacking equipment or after changing a tire:
•

Always make sure that the spare tire and jacking equipment are properly secured after
use. Such items can become dangerous projectiles in an accident or sudden stop.
• When re-installing the spare tire under the vehicle after use, be sure to secure it with the tire stem facing down toward the ground. If the spare tire is improperly secured with the
tire stem facing up towards the bottom of the vehicle, there is an increased risk of
separating from the vehicle in the event of crash which may pose a hazard in traffic or
risk of injury to others.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death and/or
vehicle damage.
NOTE:
To help prevent squeaks and rattles, check that the tools are reinstalled and properly secured
in the stored place after use. 14. Remove the jack from under the vehicle and securely store the flat tire, tools and jacking equipment in the vehicle. A
