Nissan Murano: Towing safety / Pre-towing tips
- Be certain your vehicle maintains a level
position when a loaded and/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.
- Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure,
vehicle tire pressure, trailer light operation,
and trailer wheel lug nuts every
time you attach a trailer to the vehicle.
- Be certain your rearview mirrors conform
to all federal, state or local regulations.
If not, install any mirrors required
for towing before driving the vehicle.
- Determine the overall height of the vehicle
and trailer so the required clearance
is known.
