Expert Reply:
I checked the online version of the owner's manual for your 2011 Nissan Sentra 5 speed manual. I recommend checking your manual as well, but Nissan states that it can be towed with all four wheels on the ground as long as the ignition is off, the steering wheel is secured in the straight-ahead position with rope or device (factory wheel lock is not sufficient), and the shift selector is in neutral.
Here are the parts that I recommend going with in order to properly flat tow your 2011 Nissan Sentra 5 Speed.
