The GCWR equals the combined weight of
the towing vehicle (including passengers
and cargo ) plus the total trailer loa d.
Towing loads greater than these or using
improper towing equipment could ad-
versely affect vehicle handling, brak ing
and performance.
The ability of your 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 for low traction situations
(for example, on slippery boat ramps).
Temperature conditions can also affect
towing. For example, towing a heavy trailer
in high outside temperatures on graded
roads can affect engine performance and
cause overheating. The transmission high
fluid temperature protection mode, which
helps reduce the chance of transmission
damage, could activate and automatically
decrease engine power.Vehicle speed may
decrease under high load. Plan your trip
carefully to account for trailer and vehicle
load, weather and road conditions.
WARNING
Overheating can result in reduced engine
power and vehicle speed.The reduced speed
may be lower than other traffic, which could
increase the chance of a collision. Be
especially careful when driving. Pull to the
side of the road to a safe area. Allow the
engine to cool and return to normal opera-
tion. See “IF YOUR VEHICLE OVERHEATS” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section of this
manual.
CAUTION
Vehicle damage resulting from improper
towing procedures are not covered by
INFINITI warranties.
