Nissan Murano: Technical and consumer information / Towing a trailer
WARNING
Overloading or improper loading of a
trailer and its cargo can adversely affect
vehicle handling, braking and performance
and may lead to accidents.
CAUTION
- Do not tow a trailer or haul a heavy
load for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Your engine, axle or other parts could
be damaged.
- For the first 500 miles (805 km) that
you tow a trailer, do not drive over
50 mph (80 km/h) and do not make
starts at full throttle. This helps the
engine and other parts of your vehicle
wear in at the heavier loads.
Your new vehicle was designed to be used
primarily to carry passengers and cargo.
Remember that towing a trailer places additional
loads on your vehicle’s engine,
drive train, steering, braking and other systems.
A NISSAN Towing Guide (U.S. only) is available
on the website at
www.nissanusa.com. This guide includes
information on trailer towing capability and
the special equipment required for proper
towing.
Secure loose items to prevent
weight shifts that could affect the
balance of your vehicle.When the vehicle
is loaded, drive to a scale and
weigh the front and the rear wheels
separately to determine axle loads...
Other information:
NISSAN recommends rotating the
tires every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
For additional information on tire replacing
procedures, refer to “Flat tire”
in the “In case of emergency” section
of this manual.
As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench...
