automatic transmission NISSAN TITAN 2019 Owner´s Manual

NOTE:
Trailer Sway Assist cannot reduce trailer
sway in all situations.∙ Be careful when passing other vehicles. Passing while towing a trailer requires
considerably more distance than nor-
mal passing. Remember, the length of
the trailer must also pass the other ve-
hicle before you can safely change
lanes.
∙ Use the Tow Mode or downshif t the transmission 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 al- low for greater stopping distances
while towing a trailer. Anticipate stops
and brake gradually.
∙ NISSAN recommends that the cruise control (if so equipped) not be used
while towing a trailer. ∙ Some states or provinces have specific
regulations and speed limits for ve-
hicles 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, refer
to the “Do-it-yourself ” section in 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.
When towing a trailer, final drive gear oil
should be replaced and transmission
oil/fluid should be changed more fre-
quently. For additional information, refer
to the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.
10-62Technical and consumer information

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 canresult 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 re- fer to “Towing recommended by
NISSAN” in the “In case of emergency ”
section of this manual.
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 canresult 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 re- fer to “Towing recommended by
NISSAN” in the “In case of emergency ”
section of this manual.
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. NISSAN does not make a snowplow for TI-
TAN and has not evaluated the suitability of
its trucks for use as snowplow platforms.
Instead, the snowplow manufacturers es-
tablish minimum vehicle requirements for
their various plow products and they make
the determination as to which vehicle plat-
forms are suitable, based on their indi-
vidual product specifications. Consult the
snowplow manufacturers and sellers con-
cerning the fitness of the TITAN for use with
their products. NISSAN advises caution
whenever installing af termarket parts and
accessories because these products have
not been tested or certified by NISSAN.
Please reference the NISSAN Body Builder’s
guide for the appropriate upfit capacities
and requirements of the TITAN XD ‘Snow-
plow Prep’ package (if so equipped) or ‘HD
Front GAWR’ Package (if so equipped).
WARNING
∙ Installing a snowplow may affect ve-
hicle handling. This may cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle
and could result in vehicle damage,
serious injury, or death.
