2003 INFINITI G35 weight

If you have a flat tire, see ªFlat tireº in the
ª6. In case of emergencyº section.
TIRE PRESSURE
Maximum inflation pressure Do not exceed the maximum inflation pres-
sures shown on the side wall of the tire.
Tire inflation pressure Check the tire pressure (including spare) at
least once a month and always prior to long
distance trips. Incorrect tire pressure may ad-
versely affect tire life and vehicle handling. Tire
pressure should be checked when tires are
COLD. Tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours,
or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate
speeds. COLD tire pressures are shown on
the tire placard affixed to the inside of the rear
left door opening (Sedan), the driver side
center pillar (Coupe).
WARNING O Improperly inflated tires can fail sud-
denly and cause an accident.
O The vehicle capacity weight is indi-
cated on the tire placard. Do not load
your vehicle beyond this capacity.
Overloading your vehicle may result
in reduced tire life, unsafe operating
conditions due to premature tire fail-
ure, or unfavorable handling charac-
teristics and could also lead to a
serious accident. Loading beyond the
specified capacity may also result in
failure of other vehicle components.
O Before taking a long trip, or whenever
you have loaded your vehicle heavily,
use a tire pressure gauge to ensure
that the tire pressure is at the speci- fied level.
O Do not drive your vehicle over 85
MPH (140 km/h) unless it is equipped
with high speed capability tires. Driv-
ing faster than 85 MPH (140 km/h)
may result in tire failure, loss of con-
trol and possible injury.
O For additional information regarding
tires, refer to ªImportant Tire Safety
Informationº (US) or ªTire Safety In-
formationº (Canada) in the INFINITI
Warranty Information Booklet.
TYPES OF TIRES
WARNING When changing or replacing tires, be
sure all four tires are of the same type
(i.e., summer, all season or snow) and
construction. Your INFINITI retailer may
be able to help you with information
about tire type, size, speed rating and
availability. Replacement tires may have
a lower speed rating than the factoryDI1033M

8. Install the license plate with bolts that are
no longer than 0.55 in (14 mm).
WARNING O It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously injured
or killed
O Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
O Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a seat belt properly.
TERMS It is important to familiarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:
O Curb Weight (actual weight of your vehicle)
- vehicle weight including: standard and
optional equipment, fluids, emergency
tools, and spare tire assembly. This weight
does not include passengers and cargo.
O GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb weight
plus the combined weight of passengers
and cargo. O GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) -
maximum total weight (load) limit specified
for the vehicle.
O GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) - maxi-
mum weight (load) limit specified for the
front or rear axle.
DETERMINING VEHICLE LOAD
CAPACITY The load capacity of this vehicle is determined
by weight, not by available cargo space. For
example, a luggage rack, bike carrier, cartop
carrier or similar equipment does not increase
load carrying capacity of your vehicle.
To determine vehicle load capacity:
Vehicle weight can be determined by using a
commercial-grade scale, found at places such
as a truck stop, gravel quarry, grain elevator,
or a scrap metal recycling facility.
1. Determine the curb weight of your vehicle.
2. Compare the curb weight amount to the
GVWR specified for your vehicle to deter-
mine how much more weight your vehicle
can carry.
3. After loading (cargo and passengers), re-
weigh your vehicle to determine if either
GVWR or GAWR for your vehicle is ex-VEHICLE LOADING

MAXIMUM LOAD LIMITS
Maximum trailer loads Never allow the total trailer load to exceed
1,000 lb (454 kg). The total trailer load equals
trailer weight plus its cargo weight. Towing
loads greater than 1,000 lb (454 kg) or using
improper towing equipment could adversely
affect vehicle handling, braking and perfor-
mance.
The ability of your vehicle to tow a trailer is not
only related to the maximum trailer loads, but
also the places you plan to tow. Tow weights
appropriate for level highway driving may have
to be reduced on very steep grades or in low
traction situations (for example, on slippery
boat ramps).
WARNINGVehicle damage and/or personal injury
resulting from improper towing proce-
dures are not covered by INFINITI war-
ranties. An INFINITI Trailer Towing Guide
(U.S. only) containing information on
trailer towing ability and the special equipment required may be obtained
from an authorized INFINITI retailer.
Tongue load Keep the tongue load between 9 and 11% of
the total trailer load. If the tongue load be-
comes excessive, rearrange cargo to allow for
proper tongue load.
Maximum gross vehicle weight/
maximum gross axle weight The gross vehicle weight of the towing vehicle
must not exceed. GVWR shown on the
F.M.V.S.S. certification label. The gross ve-
hicle weight equals the combined weight of the
unloaded vehicle, passengers, luggage, hitch,
trailer tongue load and any other optional
equipment. In addition, front or rear gross axle
weight must not exceed GAWR shown on the
F.M.V.S.S. certification label. TI1012M
