FLAT TOWING FOR ALL–WHEEL

DRIVE VEHICLE (if so equipped)

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels

on the ground is sometimes called flat

towing. This method is sometimes used

when towing a vehicle behind a recrea-

tional vehicle, such as a motor home.

CAUTION

.

Failure to follow these guidelines

can result in severe transmission

damage.

.

Never flat tow your All-Wheel

Drive (AWD) vehicle.

.

DO NOT tow your All-Wheel Drive

(AWD) vehicle with any wheels on

the ground. Doing so may cause

serious and expensive damage to

the powertrain.

.

For emergency towing proce-

dures refer to “Towing recom-

mended by NISSAN” (P.6-18).

FLAT TOWING FOR FRONT-WHEEL

DRIVE VEHICLE (if so equipped)

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels

on the ground is sometimes called flat

towing. This method is sometimes used

when towing a vehicle behind a recrea-

tional vehicle, such as a motor home.

CAUTION

.

Failure to follow these guidelines

can result in severe transmission

damage.

.

Whenever flat towing your vehi-

cle, always tow forward, never

backward.

.

Never tow your front wheel drive

vehicle with the front tires on the

ground. Doing so may cause ser-

ious and expensive damage to

the powertrain.

.

DO NOT tow your front wheel

drive Continuously Variable

Transmission (CVT) vehicle with

all four wheels on the ground (flat

towing). Doing so WILL DAMAGE

internal transmission parts due

to lack of transmission lubrica-

tion.

.

For emergency towing proce-

dures refer to “Towing recom-

mended by NISSAN” in the “In

case of emergency” section of

this manual.

Continuously Variable Transmis-

sion (CVT)

To tow a vehicle equipped with a CVT, an

appropriate vehicle dolly

MUST

be placed

under the towed vehicle’s drive wheels.

Always

follow the dolly manufacturer’s

recommendations when using their pro-

duct.

Manual Transmission (MT)

.

Always tow with the Manual Trans-

mission in Neutral.

.

Your vehicle speed should never ex-

ceed 70 MPH (112 km/h) when flat

towing your vehicle.

.

After towing 500 miles, start and idle

the engine with the transmission in

Neutral for two minutes. Failure to idle

the engine after every 500 miles of

towing may cause damage to the

transmission’s internal parts.

FLAT TOWING

DOT (Department Of Transportation)

Quality Grades: All passenger car tires

must conform to federal safety require-

ments in addition to these grades.
Quality grades can be found where ap-

plicable on the tire sidewall between

tread shoulder and maximum section

width. For example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Tempera-

ture A

TREADWEAR

The treadwear grade is a comparative

rating based on the wear rate of the tire

when tested under controlled conditions

on a specified government test course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would

wear one and one-half
(1 1/2) times as well on the government

course as a tire graded 100. The relative

performance of tires depends upon ac-

tual conditions of their use, however, and

may depart significantly from the norm

due to variations in driving habits, service

practices and differences in road charac-

teristics and climate.

TRACTION AA, A, B AND C

The traction grades, from highest to low-

est, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades

represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet

pavement as measured under controlled

conditions on specified government test

surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire

marked C may have poor traction perfor-

mance.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this

tire is based on straight-ahead brak-

ing traction tests, and does not

include acceleration, cornering, hy-

droplaning, or peak traction charac-

teristics.

TEMPERATURE A, B AND C

The temperature grades A (the highest),

B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance

to the generation of heat and its ability to

dissipate heat when tested under con-

trolled conditions on a specified indoor

laboratory test wheel. Sustained high

temperature can cause the material of

the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life,

and excessive temperature can lead to

sudden tire failure. The grade C corre-

sponds to a level of performance which

all passenger car tires must meet under

the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-

dard No. 109. Grades B and A represent

higher levels of performance on the

laboratory test wheel than the minimum

required by law.

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire is

established for a tire that is properly

inflated and not overloaded. Exces-

sive speed, under-inflation, or exces-

sive loading, either separately or in

combination, can cause heat build-

up and possible tire failure.

WARNING

A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel

Drive (AWD) should never be tested

using a two wheel dynamometer

(such as the dynamometers used by

some states for emissions testing),

or similar equipment. Make sure you

inform test facility personnel that

your vehicle is equipped with AWD

before it is placed on a dynam-

ometer. Using the wrong test equip-

ment may result in transmission

damage or unexpected vehicle

movement which could result in

serious vehicle damage or personal

injury.

Due to legal requirements in some states/

areas or provinces, your vehicle may be

required to be in what is called the “ready

condition” for an Inspection/Maintenance

(I/M) test of the emission control system.
The vehicle is set to the “ready condition”

when it is driven through certain driving

patterns. Usually, the “ready condition”

can be obtained by ordinary usage of

the vehicle.
If a powertrain system component is

repaired or the battery is disconnected,

the vehicle may be reset to a “not ready

condition”. Before taking the I/M test,

check the vehicle’s inspection/mainte-

nance test readiness condition. Place the

ignition switch in the ON position without

starting the engine. If the Malfunction

Indicator Light (MIL) comes on steady for

20 seconds and then blinks for 10 sec-

onds, the I/M test condition is “not ready”.

If the MIL does not blink after 20 seconds,

the I/M test condition is “ready”.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN

dealer to set “ready condition” or to

prepare the vehicle for testing.

Technical and consumer information

This vehicle is equipped with an Event

Data Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of

an EDR is to record, in certain crash or

near crash-like situations, such as an air

bag deployment or hitting a road obsta-

cle, data that will assist in understanding

how a vehicle’s systems performed. The

EDR is designed to record data related to

vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a

short period of time, typically 30 seconds

or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed

to record such data as:

.

How various systems in your vehicle

were operating;

.

Whether or not the driver and passen-

ger safety belts were buckled/fas-

tened;

.

How far (if at all) the driver was

depressing the accelerator and/or

brake pedal; and,

.

How fast the vehicle was traveling.

.

Sounds are not recorded.

These data can help provide a better

understanding of the circumstances in

which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your

vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation

occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR

under normal driving conditions and no

personal data (e.g. name, gender, age and

crash location) are recorded. However,

other parties, such as law enforcement,

could combine the EDR data with the type

of personally identifying data routinely

acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special

equipment is required and access to the

vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition

to the vehicle manufacturer and NISSAN

dealer, other parties, such as law enforce-

ment, that have the special equipment,

can read the information if they have

access to the vehicle or the EDR. EDR data

will only be accessed with the consent of

the vehicle owner or lessee or as other-

wise required or permitted by law.

ADDITIONAL DATA RECORDING (on

vehicles equipped with optional

ProPILOT assist)

If your vehicle is equipped with the

optional ProPILOT assist, it will also be

equipped with supplemental data record-

ing function intended to assist in under-

standing how ProPILOT assist performs in

certain nontrivial crash or near-crash

scenarios. Specifically, supplemental re-

cording is designed to capture the follow-

ing:

.

Driver operational status of the accel-

erator, brakes, steering, etc.

.

Detection status of a vehicle ahead

and lane markers

.

Vehicle information including distance

to vehicle ahead and lateral position

.

Information on the operation of the

ProPILOT assist and other crash

avoidance features

.

ProPILOT assist malfunction diagnosis

information

.

External images from the multi-sen-

sing front camera (Available only

when the SRS air bag or AEB with

Pedestrian Detection system is acti-

vated)

The ProPILOT assist does not record

conversations, sounds or images of the

inside of the vehicle.
To read this supplemental data, special

equipment is required and access to the

vehicle or the recording unit is needed.

This supplemental data will only be ac-

cessed with the consent of the vehicle

owner or lessee or as otherwise required

or permitted by law. If downloaded,

NISSAN and third parties entrusted by

NISSAN may use the data recorded for the

purpose of improving NISSAN’s vehicle

safety performance.
NISSAN and third parties entrusted by

NISSAN will not disclose/provide the re-

corded data to a third party except:

.

With the consent of the vehicle owner

or with the consent of the lessee

EVENT DATA RECORDERS (EDR)

.

In response to an official request from

law enforcement, court order, govern-

mental agency, or other legally en-

forceable request

.

For research purposes after the data

is modified such that it is no longer

tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle

owner (anonymized)
