Nissan ARIYA 2023 Owners Manual

9.37.1. Operating precautions

  • Before driving, make sure that the lighting system of the trailer works properly.

  • Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer operation.

    Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 MPH) (for Europe).

  • Avoid abrupt starts, accelerations and stops.

  • Avoid sharp turns and lane changes.

  • Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed.

  • Do not use the following systems (where fitted) while towing a trailer:

    • Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system

    • Intelligent Lane Intervention system

    • Emergency Lane Assist (ELA) system

    • Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system

    • Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system

    • Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system

    • Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system

    • ProPILOT Assist system

    • e-Pedal Step system

    • Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system

    • Intelligent Forward Collision Warning system

    • Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) system

  • Follow the trailer manufacturer's instructions.

  • Choose proper coupling devices (trailer hitch, safety chain, roof carrier, etc.) for your vehicle and trailer. These devices are available from a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer where you can also obtain more detailed information about trailer towing.

  • Never allow the total trailer load (trailer weight plus its cargo weight) to exceed the maximum set for the vehicle and the coupling device. See a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer for more information.

  • The trailer must be loaded so that heavy goods are placed over the axle. The maximum allowable vertical load on the trailer hitch must not be exceeded.

  • Have your vehicle serviced more often than at the intervals specified in a separate maintenance booklet.

  • Trailer towing requires more energy than under normal circumstances because of a considerable increase in traction power and resistance.
