LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
10-2Technical and consumer information

• Use the Tow Mode or downshif t thetransmission to a lower gear for engine
braking when driving down steep or long
hills. This will help slow the vehicle without
applying the brakes.
• Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause
the brakes to overheat, resulting in re-
duced braking efficiency.
• Increase your following distance to allow for greater stopping distances while tow-
ing a trailer. Anticipate stops and brake
gradually.
• NISSAN recommends that the cruise control (if so equipped) not be used while
towing a trailer.
• While towing a trailer, do not use the fol- lowing systems (if so equipped):–– the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) sys- tem
–– the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system
– – the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) sys-
tem
– – the Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system
– – the Intelligent Forward Collision Warn-
ing (I-FCW) system
– – the Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) sys-
tem –
– the Moving Object Detection (MOD)
system
– – the Cross Traffic Alert system
–– the Rear Sonar system
• Some states or provinces have specific regulations and speed limits for vehicles
that are towing trailers. Obey the local
speed limits.
• Check your hitch, trailer wiring harness connections, and trailer wheel lug nuts
af ter 50 miles (80 km) of travel and at
every break.
• When launching a boat, don't allow the water level to go over the exhaust tail
pipe or rear bumper.
• Make sure you disconnect the trailer lights before backing the trailer into the
water or the trailer lights may burn out.
When towing a trailer, final drive gear oil
should be replaced and transmission oil/
fluid should be changed more fre-
quently. For additional information, see
the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.Tow mode
Using tow mode is recommended when
pulling a heavy trailer or hauling a heavy
load. Press the TOW MODE switch to acti-
vate tow mode. The indicator light on the
TOW MODE switch illuminates when tow
mode is selected. Press the TOW MODE
switch again to turn tow mode off. Tow
mode is automatically canceled when the
ignition switch is turned off.
Tow mode includes the following features:
• Grade logic — Adjusts transmission shif ts when pulling a trailer or hauling a load up
a grade.
• Downhill Speed Control (DSC) — auto- matically downshif ts when driving down
a grade with a trailer or heavy load to help
control vehicle speed.
Driving the vehicle in the tow mode with no
trailer/load or light trailer/light load will not
cause any damage. However, fuel
economy may be reduced and the
transmission/engine driving characteris-
tics may feel unusual.
10-54Technical and consumer information

When towing a trailer, final drive gear oil
should be replaced and transmission oil/
fluid should be changed more fre-
quently. For additional information, see
the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.
FLAT TOWING FOR 2-WHEEL DRIVE
(2WD) VEHICLE (if so equipped)
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
•
Failure to follow these guidelines can
result in severe transmission damage.
• Never flat tow your 2WD vehicle.
• Never tow your 2WD vehicle with the
rear wheels on the ground. Doing so
may cause serious and expensive
damage to the powertrain.
• DO NOT tow your 2WD vehicle with all
four wheels on the ground (flat tow-
ing). Doing so WILL DAMAGE internal
transmission parts due to lack of
transmission lubrication. •
For emergency towing procedures
see “Towing recommended by
NISSAN” (P. 6-13).
FLAT TOWING FOR 4-WHEEL DRIVE
(4WD) VEHICLE (if so equipped)
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
•
Failure to follow these guidelines can
result in severe transmission damage.
• Never flat tow your 4WD vehicle.
• DO NOT tow your 4WD vehicle with
any wheels on the ground. Doing so
may cause serious and expensive
damage to the powertrain.
• For emergency towing procedures
see “Towing recommended by
NISSAN” (P. 6-13).
Automatic Transmission
To tow a vehicle equipped with an auto-
matic transmission, an appropriate vehicle
dolly MUST be placed under the towed ve-
hicle's drive wheels. Alwaysfollow the dolly
manufacturer's recommendations when
using their product.
NOTE:
If the battery is completely drained the
transmission will not manually shif t to
other positions.
