Nissan Murano: Technical and consumer information / Towing a trailer
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
- Do not tow a trailer or haul a heavy
load for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Your engine, axle or other parts could
be damaged.
- For the first 500 miles (805 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 places additional
loads on your vehicle’s engine,
drive train, steering, braking and other systems.
A NISSAN Towing Guide (U.S. only) is available
on the website at
www.nissanusa.com. This guide includes
information on trailer towing capability and
the special equipment required for proper
towing.
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...
Other information:
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors
tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
When the low tire pressure warning light is
lit, and the “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air”
warning appears in the vehicle information
display, one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated...
CAUTION
NISSAN recommends using Genuine
NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 (or equivalent)
ONLY in NISSAN CVTs. Do not mix with
other fluids.
Do not use Automatic Transmission
Fluid (ATF) or manual transmission
fluid in a NISSAN CVT, as it may damage
the CVT...
