Table of contents: Attention ↓ Installation of the coupling device ↓
Your vehicle is designed to transport primarily people and luggage.
It should be remembered that towing a trailer places additional load on the engine, power transmission, steering mechanism, brakes and other devices. During movement, towing a trailer aggravates the effect of such unfavorable factors as swaying by a crosswind, uneven roads and passing oncoming trucks. In this case, it is necessary to change the driving style and speed accordingly.
It is necessary to select suitable towing devices for the vehicle and trailer (clutch, spare chain, roof rack, etc.). For questions about trailer towing equipment availability and more information about trailer towing, please contact your Nissan dealer.
Please contact your Nissan dealer for a special set of tools for towing devices. If you need to tow the trailer on steep slopes and over long distances, we recommend that you consult your Nissan dealer.
