TOWING SAFETY

Trailer hitch

Choose a proper hitch for your vehicle and
trailer. A genuine NISSAN trailer hitch is
available from a NISSAN 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 passing trucks.

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 based on

the trailer weight.

. The diameter of the threaded shank of the

hitch ball must be matched to the ball mount
hole diameter. The hitch ball shank should
be no more than 1/16

@ smaller than the hole

in the ball mount.

. The threaded shank of the hitch ball must be

long enough to be properly secured to the
ball mount. There should be at least 2
threads showing beyond the lock washer
and nut.
