Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
9.8.1.3. Freeing trapped vehicle
Never allow anyone to stand near the towing line during the pulling operation.
Never spin the tyres at high speed. This could cause them to explode and result in serious injury. Parts of the vehicle could also overheat and be damaged.
In the event that your vehicle's tyres become trapped in sand, snow, or mud, and the vehicle is unable to free itself without being pulled, use the recovery hook.
Use the recovery hook only. Do not attach the pulling device to any other part of the vehicle body. Otherwise, the vehicle body may be damaged.
Use the recovery hook to free a vehicle only.
The recovery hook is under tremendous stress when used to free a trapped vehicle. Always pull the pulling device straight out from the vehicle. Never pull on the recovery hook at an angle.
There are two hooks in the storage area. Use the longer hook for front, and shorter hook for rear. If the different hook is used, the vehicle and the hook may be damaged.
- Remove the hook cover from the bumper with a suitable tool.
- Securely install the recovery hook as illustrated. (The hook is stored in the storage area under the luggage board.)
Make sure that the recovery hook is properly secured in its storage area after use.
