Infiniti FX45 (2006) [369/392] Warning
Trailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a braking
system, make sure it conforms to federal
and/or local regulations and that it is prop-
erly installed.
WARNING
Never connect a trailer brake system directly
to the vehicle brake system.
Pre-towing tips
O Be certain your vehicle maintains a
level position when a loaded or un-
loaded trailer is hitched. Do not drive
the vehicle if it has an abnormal
nose-up or nose-down condition; check
for improper tongue load, overload,
worn suspension or other possible
causes of either condition.
O Always secure items in the trailer to
prevent load shifts while driving.
O Load the trailer so approximately 60%
of the trailer load is in the front half and
40% is in the back half.
O Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure,
vehicle tire pressure, trailer light opera-
tion, and trailer wheel lug nuts every
time you attach a trailer to the vehicle.
O Be certain your rear view mirrors con-
form to all federal, state or local regula-
tions. If not, install any mirrors re-
quired for towing before driving the ve-
hicle.
Trailer towing tips
In order to gain skill and an understanding
of the vehicle’s behavior, you should prac-
tice turning, stopping and backing up in an
area which is free from traffic. Steering sta-
bility, and braking performance will be
somewhat different than under normal
driving conditions.
O Always secure items in the trailer to
prevent load shift while driving.
O Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or
stops.
O Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
O Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed. Some states or provinces have
specific speed limits for vehicles that
are towing trailers. Obey the local
speed limits.
O When backing up, hold the bottom of
the steering wheel with one hand. Move
your hand in the direction in which you
want the trailer to go. Make small cor-
rections and back up slowly. If pos-
sible, have someone guide you when
you are backing up.
O Always block the wheels on both ve-
hicle and trailer when parking. Parking
on a slope is not recommended; how-
ever, if you must do so, and if your ve-
hicle is equipped with automatic trans-
mission, first block the wheels and
apply the parking brake, and then move
the transmission selector lever into the
P (Park) position. If you move the selec-
tor lever to the P (Park) position before
blocking the wheels and applying the
parking brake, transmission damage
could occur.
O When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine braking
effect. When going up a long grade,
downshift the transmission to a lower
gear and reduce speed to reduce
chances of engine overloading and/or
overheating.
O If the engine coolant rises to an ex-
tremely high temperature when the air
conditioning system is on, turn off the
