Nissan Leaf Owners Manual | 2025
10.8.1.1. Towing a vehicle
NISSAN recommends that your vehicle be towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground or that the vehicle be placed on a flatbed truck as illustrated.
Never tow with the front wheels on the ground or four wheels on the ground (forward or backward), as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the EV (Electric Vehicle) system.
When towing this vehicle with the front wheels on towing dollies:
Place the power switch in the ON position. Secure the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position with a rope or similar device.
Place the shift button in the N (Neutral) position.
When towing this vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground (if you do not use towing dollies): Always release the parking brake.
If the electric parking brake is released, the rear wheels can be grounded while towing. If the electric parking brake is not released, towing dollies should be used. For additional information, refer to
