10-10Technical and consumer information

Remember to keep trailer tongue weight
between 10 - 15% of the trailer weight or
within the trailer tongue weight specifica-
tion recommended by the trailer manufac-
turer. If the tongue weight becomes exces-
sive, rearrange the cargo to obtain the
proper tongue weight. Do not exceed the
maximum tongue weight specification
shown in the “Towing load/specification”
chart even if the calculated available
tongue weight is greater than 15%. If the
calculated tongue weight is less than 10%,
shif t the trailer load forward until the trailer
tongue weight reaches 10% of the trailer
weight.
Always verif y that available capacities are
within the required ratings.TOWING LOAD/SPECIFICATION
WARNING
The towing capacities provided in this
manual are for general reference only.
The safe towing capacity of your vehicle
is affected by dealer and factory in-
stalled options and passenger and
cargo loads. You must weigh the vehicle
and trailer as described in this manual
to determine the actual vehicle towing
capacity. Do not exceed the published
maximum towing capacity or the GCWR
or the GVWR shown on the
FMVSS/CMVSS label. Doing so can re-
sult in an accident causing serious per-
sonal injury or property damage.NOTE:
The SAE J2807 Weight Distributing Class
4 Hitch specifications are based on S and
SV grade models . The Gooseneck Hitch
specifications are based on SV grade
models.

Preventive maintenance is the easiest and
least expensive type of maintenance. Keep
records of regularly scheduled mainte-
nance and follow the maintenance sched-
ule recommendations outlined in the Titan
Owner’s Manual.
Use the correct fuel, lubricating oil, and
coolant in your engine. Blending engine oil
with fuel is prohibited for engines with an
af tertreatment system. For additional in-
formation, refer to the “Capacities and
specifications” section of this manual.
A NISSAN dealership knows your vehicle.
When you require any service or have any
questions, they will be glad to assist you
with the extensive resources available to
them.
DIESEL ENGINE OPERATION
The operation of the diesel engine in your
new vehicle varies from the operation of
traditional gasoline engines found in other
vehicles. Reading this supplement will fa-
miliarize you and other operators of the
vehicle with the unique maintenance and
operating procedures that will prolong the
life of the diesel engine and related sys-
tems.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
∙ Warm up the engine before operating itunder load
∙ Do not operate the engine at idle for extended periods
∙ Prevent engine lugging by selecting the appropriate transmission gear
∙ Monitor the vehicle oil pressure and temperature gauges
∙ Check fluid levels frequently (Oil & Cool- ant)
∙ Vary the throttle position at highway speeds when carrying weight or towing
NOTE:
Extended light or no load operation will
extend the time before the engine
reaches its full efficiency. If the engine is
operated in this manner, reduced fuel
economy and power may be observed.
The aforementioned procedure should be
observed for the first 6,000 miles. The en-
gine run-in is improved by operating the
vehicle under load.
DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
The diesel engine fuel system is a pressur-
ized two-stage filtration system and con-
sists of: ∙ A frame-mounted primary (stage 1) fuel filter containing water/fuel separator,
electric fuel pump, and water in fuel
drain valve
∙ An engine-mounted secondary (stage 2) fuel filter
∙ A fuel injector for each cylinder (8 total)
∙ A high-pressure fuel pump
∙ A high-pressure fuel rail for each cylin- der bank (2 total)
∙ High-pressure fuel lines from the high- pressure fuel pump to the right bank
fuel rail, right bank fuel rail to the lef t
bank fuel rail, and fuel rails to fuel injec-
tors.
