Nissan Murano: Towing safety / Sway control device
Sudden maneuvers, wind gusts, and buffeting
caused by other vehicles can affect
trailer handling. Sway control devices may
be used to help control these affects. If you
choose to use one, contact a reputable
trailer hitch supplier to make sure the sway
control device will work with the vehicle,
hitch, trailer and the trailer’s brake system.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer for installing and using the
sway control device.
This type of hitch is also called a “loadleveling”
or “equalizing” hitch. A set of bars
attach to the ball mount and to the trailer
to distribute the tongue weight (hitch
weight) of your trailer...
Class I trailer hitch equipment (receiver, ball
mount and hitch ball) can be used to tow
trailers of a maximum weight of 2,000 lbs.
(907 kg).
Tire pressures
When towing a trailer, inflate the
vehicle tires to the recommended
cold tire pressure indicated
on the Tire and Loading Information
label...

Freeing a frozen door lock
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
de-icer through the key hole. If the lock
becomes frozen, heat the key before inserting
it into the key hole, or use the
NISSAN Intelligent Key®.
Antifreeze
In the winter when it is anticipated that the
temperature will drop below 32°F (0°C),
check the antifreeze to assure proper winter
protection...
Make sure the area around the vehicle is
clear.
Check fluid levels such as engine oil,
coolant, brake fluid, and windshieldwasher
fluid as frequently as possible,
or at least whenever you refuel.
Check that all windows and lights are
clean...
