Yes, your Datsun may be towed safely by another vehicle, with a few considerations.
|  |
Contents |
Operation
See the Owner's manual: Operating the Car
Being towed by the rear wheels
However, these instructions were updated later. The 1980 owner's manual says:
Nissan Patrol Y60 towing 1200 CoupeTOWING
CAUTION
- It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage...See the Towing Procedure Manual at dealer side.
- All applicable government laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
- Before towing, make sure that the transmission, axles, steering system and power train are in good order. If any unit is damaged, a dolly must be used.
- If the transmission is inoperative, tow the car with the rear wheels off the ground, or with the propeller shaft removed.
- When the car is towed with its front wheels on the ground, secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead position with the ignition key turned in the "OFF" position.
- When towing an automatic transmission model, try to restrict towing speed below 30 km/h (20 MPH) and towing distance less than 30 km (20 miles).
- With manual transmission model, try to restrict towing speed below 80km/h (50 MPH) and towing distance less then 80 km (50 miles).
- If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the propeller shaft beforehand to prevent damage to the transmission
- Release the parking brake and set the gearshift lever in the "Neutral" position before starting to tow the car.
