TOWING SAFETY

Trailer hitch

Choose a proper hitch for your vehicle and trailer. A genuine INFINITI trailer hitch is available from an INFINITI dealer. Make sure the trailer hitch is securely attached to the vehicle to help avoid personal injury or property damage due to sway caused by crosswinds, rough road surfaces or pas- sing trucks.

WARNING

Trailer hitch components have specific weight ratings. Your vehicle may be capable of towing a trailer heavier than the weight rating of the hitch components. Never exceed the weight rating of the hitch components. Doing so can cause serious personal injury or property damage.

Hitch ball

Choose a hitch ball of the proper size and weight rating for your trailer:

.The required hitch ball size is stamped on most trailer couplers. Most hitch balls also have the size printed on top of the ball.

.Choose the proper class hitch ball
