Your new vehicle was designed to be used
primarily to carry passengers and luggage.
Towing a trailer will place additional loads on
your vehicle’s engine, drive train, steering,
braking and other systems. The towing of a
trailer will exaggerate other conditions such as
sway caused by crosswinds, rough road sur-
faces or passing trucks.
Your driving style and speed must be adjusted
according to the circumstances. Before towing
a trailer, see a NISSAN dealer for an explanation
about the proper use of towing equipment.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
T32A130827-9DE592D5-8E38-4B52-9086-50989D3A199E
. Avoid towing a trailer during the break-in
period.
. Before driving, make sure that the lighting
system of the trailer works properly.
. Observe the legal maximum speeds for
trailer operation.
Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 MPH) (for
Europe).
. Avoid abrupt starts, accelerations and
stops.
. Avoid sharp turns and lane changes.
. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed.
. Do not use the following systems (if
equipped) while towing a trailer:
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system
Intelligent Lane Intervention system
Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system
Intelligent Emergency Braking system
Intelligent Emergency Braking with pe-
destrian detection system
. Select the AUTO mode if your vehicle is
equipped with the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
system.
. Follow the trailer manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
. Choose proper coupling devices (trailer
hitch, safety chain, roof carrier, etc.) for
your vehicle and trailer. These devices are
available from a NISSAN dealer where you
can also obtain more detailed information
about trailer towing.
. Never allow the total trailer load (trailer
weight plus its cargo weight) to exceed the
maximum set for the vehicle and the
coupling device. See a NISSAN dealer for
more information.
. The trailer must be loaded so that heavy
goods are placed over the axle. The max-
imum allowable vertical load on the trailer
hitch must not be exceeded.
. Have your vehicle serviced more often than
at the intervals specified in a separate
maintenance booklet.
. Trailer towing requires more fuel than
under normal circumstances because of a
considerable increase in traction power
and resistance.
While towing a trailer, check the engine
coolant temperature indicator to prevent
the vehicle from overheating.
