air conditioner. Coolant heat can be ad-
ditionally vented by opening the win-
dows, switching the fan control to high
and setting the temperature control to
the HOT position.
O Trailer towing requires more fuel than
normal circumstances.
O Avoid towing a trailer for the first 500
miles (800 km).
O Have your vehicle serviced more often
than at intervals specified in the recom-
mended maintenance schedule in the
INFINITI Service and Manual Guide.
O When making a turn, your trailer wheels
will be closer to the inside of the turn
than your vehicle wheels. To compen-
sate for this, make a larger than normal
turning radius during the turn.
O Crosswinds and rough roads will ad-
versely affect vehicle/trailer handling,
possibly causing vehicle sway. When
being passed by larger vehicles, be pre-
pared for possible changes in cross-
winds that could affect vehicle han-
dling. If swaying does occur, firmly grip
the steering wheel, steer straight
ahead, and immediately (but gradually)
reduce vehicle speed. This combination
will help stabilize the vehicle. Never in-
crease speed.
O Be careful when passing other vehicles.
Passing while towing a trailer requires
considerably more distance than
normal passing. Remember the length
of the trailer must also pass the other
vehicle before you can safely change
lanes.
O To maintain engine braking efficiency
and electrical charging performance,
do not use overdrive.
O Avoid holding the brake pedal down too
long or too frequently. This could cause
the brakes to overheat, resulting in re-
duced braking efficiency.
O Increase your following distance to
allow for greater stopping distances
while towing a trailer. Anticipate stops
and brake gradually.
O Do not use cruise control while towing a
trailer.
O Check your hitch, trailer wiring harness
connections, and trailer wheel lug nuts
after 50 miles (80 km) of travel and at
every break.
O When stopped in traffic for long periods
of time in hot weather, put the vehicle
in the P (Park) position.
When towing a trailer, change fluid in the
transmission more frequently.
For additional information, see the “8.
Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section
earlier in this manual.
FLAT TOWING
Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground is sometimes called flat towing.
This method is sometimes used when
towing a vehicle behind a recreational ve-
hicle, such as a motor home.
CAUTION
O Failure to follow these guidelines can re-
sult in severe transmission damage.
O Whenever flat towing your vehicle, al-
ways tow forward, never backward.
