TOWING A TRAILER Your engine, axle or other parts could be damaged. 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 a 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 information on trailer towing capability and the special equipment required for proper towing. this section. The total trailer load equals trailer weight plus its cargo weight. Towing loads greater than specified or using improper towing equipment could adversely affect vehicle handling, braking and performance. The ability of a 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). TI1011M CAUTION Vehicle damage resulting from improper towing procedures are not covered by INFINITI warranties. WARNING Overloading or improper loading of a trailer and its cargo can adversely affect vehicle handling, braking and performance and may lead to accidents. Tongue load Keep the tongue load between 9 and 11% of the total trailer load within the maximum tongue load limits shown in the following Towing Load/Specification Chart. If the tongue load becomes excessive, rearrange cargo to allow for proper tongue load. CAUTION Do not tow a trailer or haul a heavy load for the first 500 miles (800 km). MAXIMUM LOAD LIMITS Maximum trailer loads Never allow the total trailer load to exceed the value specified in the Towing Load/Specification Chart found later in 9-18 Technical and consumer information

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 a vehicle’s en-
gine, 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 Towing
Load/Specification Chart found later in
this section. The total trailer load equals
trailer weight plus its cargo weight.
Towing loads greater than specified or us-
ing improper towing equipment could ad-
versely affect vehicle handling, braking
and performance. The ability of a vehicle
to tow a trailer is not only related to the
maximum
trailer
loads,
but
also
the
places you plan to tow. Tow weights ap-
propriate for level highway driving may
have to be reduced on very steep grades
or in low traction situations (for example,
on slippery boat ramps).
CAUTION
Vehicle damage resulting from improper
towing
procedures
are
not
covered
by
INFINITI warranties.
Tongue load
Keep the tongue load between 9 and 11%
of
the
total
trailer
load
within
the
maximum tongue load limits shown in the
following
Towing
Load/Specification
Chart. If the tongue load becomes exces-
sive, rearrange cargo to allow for proper
tongue load.
