2009 NISSAN QASHQAI trailer

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine steep slope consider the incline (the towing
weights quoted are for a 12% slope).
Follow the trailer manufacturer’s instructions.
Have your vehicle serviced more often than at
the intervals specified in the separately provided
Warranty Information and Maintenance booklet.
Trailer towing requires more fuel than under nor-
mal circumstances because of a considerable
increase in traction power required and resis-
tance.
When towing a trailer, observe the following re-
stricted towing speed:
Speed: below 100 km/h (62 MPH)
CAUTION
While towing a trailer, check the engine coolant
temperature gauge regularly to prevent engine
overheating.
TYRE PRESSURE
When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tyres to the
maximum recommended COLD tyre pressure, as
indicated on the tyre placard (for full loading). Make
sure the trailer tyre pressures are correct.
CAUTION
Do not tow a trailer when the vehicle is installed
with a temporary-use spare tyre.
SAFETY CHAINS
Always use a suitable chain between the vehicle
and trailer. The chain should be attached to the hitch
and not to the vehicle bumper or axle. Be sure to
leave enough slack in the chain to permit turning
corners. The chain should not drag on the ground:
passing the chain across the trailer hitch may be the
best practice depending on your trailer.
TRAILER BRAKES
Ensure that trailer brakes are installed as required
by local regulations. Also check that all other trailer
equipment conforms to local regulations.
TRAILER DETECTION (where fitted)
When towing a trailer and the turn signal switch is
used, the electrical system of the vehicle will detect
an additional electrical load of the trailer lighting. As
a result, the trailer direction indicator light comes
on.
INSTALLATION OF COUPLING
DEVICE
NISSAN recommends that the coupling device for
trailer towing be installed under the following condi-
tions:
Maximum permissible vertical load on the cou-
pling device: 736 N (75 kg, 165 lb)
The coupling device, mounting points and instal-
lation parts on your vehicle: as shown as an ex-
ample in the illustration. Follow all of the coupling device manufacturer’s in-
structions for installation and use.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine TEMPORARY-USE SPARE TYRE
The temporary-use spare tyre is designed for emer-
gency use only. This spare tyre should be used
ONLY for very short periods and NEVER be used
for long drives or extended periods.
Observe the following precautions if the temporary-
use spare tyre must be used, otherwise your vehicle
could be damaged or involved in an accident.
WARNING
Any continuous road use of this tyre could result
in tyre failure, loss of vehicle control, and pos-
sible personal injury.
CAUTION
The temporary-use spare tyre should be used
only in emergencies. It should be replaced by
the standard tyre at the first opportunity.
Drive carefully and do not drive your vehicle
faster than 80 km/h (50 MPH).
Avoid driving over obstacles. Also, do not take
the vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Avoid driving sharp turns and abrupt braking.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum load
rating or the load-carrying capacity molded
on the sidewall of the temporary-use spare
tyre.
Do not use a snow chain on this tyre because
it will not fit properly. This could cause dam-
age to the vehicle and result in loss of the
chain.
Do not use the temporary-use spare tyre on
any other vehicle because this tyre has been
designed specifically for your vehicle.
The vehicle must not be driven with more than
one temporary-use spare tyre at the same
time.
Do not tow a trailer.
As with all tyres, the temporary-use spare tyre
must be checked regularly to ensure pres-
sure is maintained.
For pressure details, see the tyre placard lo-
cated on the driver’s side centre pillar. In case of a flat tyre, follow the instructions as de-
scribed below:
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
WARNING
Make sure that the handbrake is securely ap-
plied.
For Manual Transmission (MT) models: Make
sure the gear lever is in the R (Reverse) posi-
tion.
For Automatic Transmission (AT) or Continu-
ously Variable Transmission (CVT) models:
Make sure that the selector lever is in the P
(Park) position.
Never change tyres when the vehicle is on a
slope, ice or a slippery area. This is hazard-
ous.
Never change tyres if oncoming traffic is close
to your vehicle. Wait for professional road as-
sistance.
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road, away from traffic.
2. Switch on the hazard warning flashers.
3. Park on a level surface.
4. Apply the handbrake.
5. Shift the gear lever (MT models) into the R (Re- verse) position [AT or CVT models, move the
selector lever to the P (Park) position].
