Get Starting and driving -> Trailer towing Guide for Nissan Patrol SUV Fifth Generation (1998-2009)

TRAILER TOWING

Your new vehicle was designed to be used

primarily to carry passengers and luggage.

hitch, safety chain, roof carrier, etc.) for your

vehicle and trailer.

Towing a trailer will place additional loads on

your vehicle's engine, drive train, steering, brak-

ing and other systems. The towing of a trailer will

exaggerate other conditions such aꢀ sway

caused by crosswinds, rough road surfaces or

passing trucks.

Never allow the total trailer load (trailer

weight plus its cargo weight) to exceed the

maximum set for the coupling device. See a

NISSAN dealer for more information.

HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB: ꢀ

Turn the wheels into the curb and move the

vehicle forward until the curb side wheel

gently touches the curb.

•

The trailer must be loaded so that heavy

goods are placed over the axle. The maximum

allowable vertical load on the trailer hitch

must not be exceeded.

about the proper use of towing equipment.

Turn the wheels away from the curb and

move the vehicle back until the curb side

wheel gently touches the curb.

Have your vehicle serviced more often than at

the intervals specified in a separate mainte-

Trailer towing requires more fuel than under

normal circumstances because of a consid-

erable increase in traction power and resis-

tance.

Maximum trailer loads (including tires and other

loaded equipment):

Turn the wheels toward the side of the road

so the vehicle will move away from the center

of the road if it moves.

Before driving, make sure that the lighting

system of the trailer works properly.

1 . Never allow the total trailer load to exceed:

Wagon and Hardtop models:

Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer

operation. (For example, below 1 00 km/h (62

MPH) for Europe.)

TIRE PRESSURE

Always park your vehicle where it can be

seen. Park in a well lit area during the night.

•

The maximum 750 kg (1 ,654 Ib) for a trailer'

without brakes.

The brake booster aids braking by using engine

vacuum. If the engine stops, you can stop the

vehicle by depressing the foot brake pedal.

However, greaterfoot pressure on the foot brake

pedal will be required to stop the vehicle. The

stopping distance will be longer.

Never allow the tongue load to exceed 1 0% of

the total trailer load. If the tongue load exceeds

1 0%, rearrange the cargo in the trailer.

When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tires to

the maximum recommended COLD tire pressure

indicated on the tir� placard (full loading shown

on the tire placard).

If the security system is equipped, use it -

even for a short period.

•

The maximum 3,200 kg (7,056 Ib) for a trailer

with brakes.

•

Never leave children or pets in the vehicle

unattended.

2. The total trailer load must be lower than the

following three values even if it does not

exceed the maximum permissible trailer

loads.

SAFETY CHAINS

CA0050 '

Always use a suitable chain between the vehicle

and trailer. The chain should be crossed and

should be attached to the hitch, not to the

vehicle bumper or axle. Be sure to leave enough

slack in the chain to permit turning corners.

If the engine is not running or is turned off while

driving, the power assisted brakes will not func-

tion. Braking will be harder.

Never leave valuables inside the vehicle. Al-

ways take valuables with you.

Maximum rear gross axle weight

The rear gross axle weight must not exceed the

Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).

•

Towing capacity displayed on a tow-bar.

•

Never leave the vehicle documents in the

vehicle.

WARNING:

•

Trailer's gross vehicle mass marked on a

coupling body.

GAWR:

Never leave articles on a roof rack. Remove

them from the rack and keep and lock them in

the luggage compartment or inside the ve-

hicle.

Do not coast with the engine stopped.

Using brakes

•

Gross vehicle mass marked on a trailer data

plate.

Ensure that trailer brakes are installed as re-

quired by local regulations. Also check that all

other trailer equipment conforms to local regu-

lations.

1 ,800 kg (3,969 Ib)

Avoid resting your foot on the foot brake pedal

while driving. This will overheat the brakes, wear

out the brake linings/pads faster, and increase

fuel consumption.

The maximum trailer load which can be towed by

your vehicle depends on the towing equipment

fitted to the vehicle. Therefore, it is important to

not only have the correct equipment fitted but

also to use it correctly. Towing loads greater

than the value specified for your vehicle or using

towing equipment which is not provided by

NISSAN could seriously affect the handling

and/or performance of your vehicle.

hear a "clunk" noise and/or feel a pulsation in the

brake pedal. This is normal and does not indicate

a malfunction. If the computer senses a malfunc-

tion, it switches the ABS off and illuminates the

ABS warning light on the instrument panel. The

brake system then operates normally, but with-

out anti-lock assistance.
