NISSAN recommends that the coupling device for
trailer towing be installed under the following condi-
tions:
. Maximum permissible vertical load on the coupling
device: 981 N (100 kg, 221 lb)
. The coupling device, mounting points and installa-
tion parts on your vehicle: as shown as an example
in the illustration.
. Rear overhang of coupling device:
*
A
1,080 mm
(42.5 in)
Follow all of the coupling device manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
WARNING:
. If the engine is not running or is turned off
while driving, th e power assist for the
steering will not work. Steering will be
harder to operate.
. When the electric power steering warning
light illuminates with the engine running, the
power assist for the steering will cease
operation. You will still have control of the
vehicle, but the steering will be much harder
to operate.
The electric power steering system is designed to
provide power assist while driving to operate the
steering wheel with light force.
When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly or
continuously while parking or driving at a very low
speed, the power assist for the steering wheel will be
reduced. This is to prevent overheating of the electric
power steering system and protect it from getting
damaged. While the power assist is reduced, steering
wheel operation will become heavy. When the
temperature of the electric power steering system
goes down, the power assist level will return to normal.
Avoid repeating such steering wheel operations that
could cause the electric power steering system to
overheat.
You may hear a fricative sound when the steering
wheel is operated quickly. However, this is not a
malfunction.
If th e electric power steering warning light
illuminates while the engine is running, it may indicate
the electric power steering system is not functioning
properly and may need servicing. Have the electric
power steering system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
