sonal injury. Failures caused by
overloading are not covered by the
vehicle’s warranty.
MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS
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. Individual axle
loads should not exceed either of the
gross axle weight ratings (GAWR). The
total of the axle loads should not ex-
ceed the gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR). These ratings are given on the
vehicle certification label. If weight rat-
ings are exceeded, move or remove
items to bring all weights below the rat-
ings.
Your vehicle was designed to be used to
carry passengers and cargo. INFINITI does
not recommend trailer towing, because it
places additional loads on your vehicle’s
engine, drivetrain, steering, braking, and
other systems.
If you must use this vehicle to tow a
trailer, the trailer load should never ex-
ceed 1,000 lb.
CAUTION
Vehicle damage resulting from towing a
trailer is not covered by INFINITI warranties.
FLAT TOWING
Towing your vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground is sometimes called flat
towing. This method is sometimes used
when towing a vehicle behind a recre-
ational vehicle, such as a motor home.
CAUTION
O
Failure to follow these guidelines can
result in severe transmission damage.
O
Whenever flat towing your vehicle, al-
ways tow forward, never backward.
O
DO NOT tow any automatic transmission
vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground (flat towing). Doing so WILL
DAMAGE internal transmission parts due
to lack of transmission lubrication.
O
For emergency towing procedures refer
to “Towing Recommended by INFINITI”
in the “6. In case of emergency” section
of this manual.
Automatic transmission
To tow a vehicle equipped with an auto-
matic transmission, an appropriate ve-
hicle dolly
MUST
be placed under the
towed vehicle’s drive wheels.
Always
follow the dolly manufacturer’s recom-
mendations when using their product.
Manual transmission
O
Always tow with the manual transmis-
sion in Neutral.
O
After towing 500 miles, start and idle
the engine with the transmission in
