TYRE PRESSURE
When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tyres to the
maximum recommended COLD tyre pressure (for
full loading) indicated on the tyre placard.
Do not tow a trailer when the vehicle is installed with
a temporary spare tyre or a compact spare tyre.
SAFETY CHAINS
Always use a suitable chain between the vehicle
and trailer. The chain should be crossed and should
be attached to the hitch, not to the vehicle bumper
or axle. Be sure to leave enough slack in the chain
to permit turning corners.
TRAILER BRAKES
Ensure that trailer brakes are installed as required
by local regulations. Also check that all other trailer
equipment conforms to local regulations.
Always block the wheels on both the vehicle and
trailer when parking. Apply the hand brake on the
trailer where fitted. Parking on a steep slope is not
recommended.
If parking on a steep slope is unavoidable, place the
shift lever in an appropriate gear, and turn the front
wheels towards the kerb.
TRAILER DETECTION (where fitted)
When towing a trailer with a genuine NISSAN tow
bar electrical kit and the turn signal switch is used,
the electrical system of the vehicle will detect the
additional electrical load of the trailer lighting. As a
result, the trailer direction indicator light comes on.
