Infiniti FX45 (2008) [371/398] Caution

Temperature conditions can also affect

towing. For example, towing a heavy

trailer in high outside temperatures on

graded roads can affect engine perfor-

mance and cause overheating. Vehicle

speed may decrease under high load.

Plan your trip carefully to account for

trailer and vehicle load, weather and road

conditions.

WARNING

Overheating can result in reduced engine

power and vehicle speed. The reduced speed

may be lower than other traffic, which could

increase the chance of a collision. Be espe-

cially careful when driving. Pull to the side

of the road to a safe area. Allow the engine

to cool and return to normal operation. See

“If your vehicle overheats” in the “6. In case

of emergency” section of this manual.

CAUTION

Vehicle damage resulting from improper

towing procedures are not covered by

INFINITI warranties.

Tongue load

When using a weight carrying or a weight

distributing hitch, keep the tongue load

between 10 to 15% 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.
