is removed, seal the bolt holes to

prevent exhaust fumes, water or

dust from entering the passenger

compartment.

. Regularly check that all trailer hitch

mounting bolts are securely

mounted.

Tire pressures

. When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle

tires to the recommended cold tire

pressure indicated on the Tire and

Loading Information label.

. Trailer tire condition, size, load rating

and proper inflation pressure should be

in accordance with the trailer and tire

manufacturers’ specifications.

Safety chains

Always use a suitable chain between your

vehicle and the trailer. The safety chains should

be crossed and should be attached to the hitch,

not to the vehicle bumper or axle. The safety

chains can be attached to the bumper if the

hitch ball is mounted to the bumper. Be sure to

leave enough slack in the chains to permit

turning corners.

Trailer lights

CAUTION

When splicing into the vehicle electrical

system, a commercially available

power-type module/converter must be

used to provide power for all trailer

lighting. This unit uses the vehicle

battery as a direct power source for all

trailer lights while using the vehicle tail

light, stoplight and turn signal circuits

as a signal source. The module/con-

verter must draw no more than 15

milliamps from the stop and tail lamp

circuits. Using a module/converter that

exceeds these power requirements may

damage the vehicle’s electrical system.

See a reputable trailer dealer to obtain

the proper equipment and to have it

installed.

Trailer lights should comply with federal and/or

local regulations. For assistance in hooking up

trailer lights, contact a NISSAN dealer or

reputable trailer dealer.

Trailer brakes

If your trailer is equipped with a braking system,

make sure it conforms to federal and/or local

regulations and that it is properly installed.

WARNING

Never connect a trailer brake system

directly to the vehicle brake system.

Pre-towing tips

. Be certain your vehicle maintains a level

position when a loaded or unloaded trailer is

hitched. Do not drive the vehicle if it has an

abnormal nose-up or nose-down condition;

check for improper tongue load, overload,

worn suspension or other possible causes

of either condition.

. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent

load shift while driving.

. Keep the cargo load as low as possible in

the trailer to keep the trailer center of gravity

low.

. Load the trailer so approximately 60% of the

trailer load is in the front half and 40% is in

the back half. Also make sure the load is

balanced side to side.
