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
O
Do not tow a trailer or haul a heavy load
for the first 500 miles (800 km).
Your engine, axle or other parts could be
damaged.
O
For the first 500 miles (800 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 will
place additional loads on your vehicle’s
engine, drive train, steering, braking and
other systems.
An INFINITI Towing Guide (U.S. only) is
available
on
the
website
at
www.infiniti.com. This guide includes in-
formation on trailer towing capability and
the special equipment required for proper
towing.
MAXIMUM LOAD LIMITS
Maximum trailer loads
Never allow the total trailer load to ex-
ceed the value specified in the following
Towing Load/Specification Chart. The
total trailer load equals trailer weight plus
its cargo weight.
O
When towing a trailer load of 1,000 lbs
(454 kg) or more, trailers with a brake
system MUST be used.
The maximum GCWR (Gross Combined
Weight Rating) should not exceed the
value specified in the following Towing
Load/Specification Chart.
The GCWR equals the combined weight of
the towing vehicle (including passengers
and cargo) plus the total trailer load.
Towing loads greater than these or using
improper towing equipment could ad-
versely affect vehicle handling, braking
and performance.
The ability of your vehicle to tow a trailer
is not only related to the maximum trailer
loads, but also the places you plan to
tow. Tow weights appropriate for level
highway driving may have to be reduced
on very steep grades or in low traction
situations (for example, on slippery boat
ramps).
