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 exagger-
ate other conditions such as sway caused by cross-
winds, rough road surfaces or passing trucks.
Your driving style and speed must be adjusted ac-
cording to the circumstances. Before towing a
trailer, see a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
for an explanation about the proper use of towing
equipment.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
•
Avoid towing a trailer during the running-in pe-
riod.
•
Before driving, make sure that the lighting sys-
tem of the trailer works properly.
•
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer
operation.
Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 MPH).
•
Avoid abrupt starts, accelerations and stops.
•
Avoid sharp turns and lane changes.
•
Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed.
•
Follow the trailer manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Choose proper coupling devices (trailer hitch,
safety chain, roof carrier, etc.) for your vehicle
and trailer. These devices are available from a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop 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 or qualified workshop for more
information.
•
The trailer must be loaded so that heavy goods
are placed over the axle. The maximum allowable
vertical load on the trailer hitch must not be ex-
ceeded.
•
Have your vehicle serviced more often than at
the intervals specified in a separate maintenance
booklet.
•
Trailer towing requires more fuel than under nor-
mal 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.
