Owner`s manual

primarily to carry passengers and cargo.
Remember that towing a trailer will place
additional loads on your vehicle’s engine,
drive train, steering, braking and other sys-
tems.
Information on trailer towing and the special
equipment required should be obtained from a
professional trailer dealer/installer.
MAXIMUM LOAD LIMITS
Maximum trailer loads
Never allow the total trailer load to exceed the
value specified in the following Towing
Load/Specification Chart. The total trailer load
equals trailer weight plus its cargo weight.
O When towing a trailer load of 1,000 lb (454
kg) or more, trailers with a brake system
MUST be used.
The maximum GCWR (Gross Combined
Weight Rating) should not exceed the value
specified in the following Towing Load Speci-
fication Chart.
The GCWR equals the combined weight of the
towing vehicle (including passengers and
cargo) plus the total trailer load. Towing loads
greater than these or using improper towing
equipment could adversely affect vehicle han-
dling, braking 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 in low traction situations (for example, on
slippery boat ramps).
WARNING
Vehicle damage and/or personal in-
jury resulting from improper towing
procedures is not covered by
INFINITI warranties. An Infiniti
Trailer Towing Guide (U.S. only)
containing information on trailer
towing ability and the special equip-
ment required may be obtained from
an authorized INFINITI retailer.
Tongue load
Keep the tongue load between 9 to 11% of the
total trailer load within the maximum tongue
load limits shown in the following Towing
Load/Specifications Chart. If the tongue load
becomes excessive, rearrange cargo to allow
for proper tongue load.
