8. Insert a J-nut into the license plate bracketbefore placing the license plate bracket on
the fascia.
9. Install the license plate bracket with the screws.
10. Install the license plate with bolts that are not longer than 0.55 in (14 mm).
When the recovery hook is used, you need to
temporarily remove the front license plate and
bracket from the vehicle. (See “Vehicle recovery
(freeing a stuck vehicle)” (P.6-21) for further
details.)
GUID-EA9A5560-D483-458F-85DC-6B5594CAB0B7
STI0623
Left side
This vehicle is equipped with air deflectors in
front of the front wheels. The deflectors will
change the air flow to help improve aerodynamic
performance.
When transporting your vehicle on a trailer, the
air deflectors may interfere with a steep slope to
a trailer bed. In this case, remove the deflectors
from the undercover of the vehicle.
1. Loosen three screws as shown and remove the left-side air deflector
*A.
2. Tighten the removed screw
*Bin its
original position.
3. Perform the same procedure to remove the right-side air deflector. 4. Store the two air deflectors and four screws
to reinstall in the reverse order.
5. When reinstalling, make sure all six screws are firmly tightened on both air deflectors.

LOADING TIPSGUID-C67193DE-BB8D-4966-AC31-739C2C3B1647.The GVW must not exceed GVWR or
GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.S.S./
C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
. Do not load the front and rear axle to
the GAWR. Doing so will exceed the
GVWR.
WARNING
.Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shift-
ing. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden
stop or collision, unsecured car-
go could cause personal injury.
. Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR or the
maximum front and rear
GAWRs. If you do, parts of your
vehicle can break, tire damage
could occur, or it can change the
way your vehicle handles. This
could result in loss of control
and cause personal injury. .
Overloading could not only
shorten the life of your vehicle
and the tires, but also could lead
to hazardous vehicle handling
and long braking distance. This
may cause a premature tire
malfunction, which could result
in a serious accident and perso-
nal injury. Failures caused by
overloading are not covered by
the vehicle’s warranty.
MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTSGUID-007BF927-7086-4838-9400-2E058EBA6F29Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts
that could affect the balance of your
vehicle. When the vehicle is loaded, drive
to a scale and weigh the front and the rear
wheels separately to determine axle loads.
Individual axle loads should not exceed
either of the gross axle weight ratings
(GAWR). The total of the axle loads should
not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR) . These ratings are given on the
vehicle certification label. If weight ratings
are exceeded, move or remove items to
bring all weights below the ratings.
GUID-19623487-D9B3-47CC-AAF9-05CCF6696A8ADo not tow a trailer with your vehicle.
TOWING A TRAILER

Black plate (411,1)
[ Edit: 2012/ 4/ 11 Model: Z34-D ]
GUID-81BCA095-E7D3-4CE2-A684-123FD1E1D09ATowing 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 vehicle, such as a
motor home.
CAUTION
.Failure to follow these guidelines
can result in severe transmission
damage.
. Whenever flat towing your vehicle,
always tow forward, never back-
ward.
. DO NOT tow any automatic trans-
mission vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground (flat towing) . Doing
so WILL DAMAGE internal transmis-
sion parts due to lack of transmis-
sion lubrication.
. For emergency towing procedures
refer to “Towing recommended by
NISSAN (except for NISMO mod-
els)” (P.6-19) of this manual.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONGUID-21032A3C-932E-4072-9667-FA2CAD191E8CTo tow a vehicle equipped with an automatic
transmission, an appropriate vehicle dolly MUST
be placed under the towed vehicle’s drive
wheels. Always follow the dolly manufacturer’s
recommendations when using their product.
MANUAL TRANSMISSIONGUID-8F862C4B-4E77-46AF-A267-BB3D3E9E681A. Always tow with the manual transmission in
Neutral.
. Your vehicle speed should never exceed 70
MPH (112 km/h) when flat towing your
vehicle.
. After towing 500 miles, start and idle the
engine with the transmission in Neutral for
two minutes. Failure to idle the engine after
every 500 miles of towing may cause
damage to the transmission’s internal parts.
GUID-847767A6-AC43-4068-BDF0-695D11D7EE17DOT (Department Of Transportation) Quality
Grades: All passenger car tires must conform to
federal safety requirements in addition to these
grades.
Quality grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEARGUID-EBD3F3AF-74FA-4332-AA15-3B9E01A51FFFThe treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1
1/2) times as well on the government course as
a tire graded 100. The relative performance of
tires depends upon actual conditions of their
use, however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road char-
acteristics and climate.
TRACTION AA, A, B AND CGUID-77FAD5AD-8EC3-4E81-978B-00D40AD98203The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the
tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on spe-
cified government test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.

FLAT TOWING UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING

Black plate (412,1)
[ Edit: 2012/ 4/ 11 Model: Z34-D ]
9-22Technical and consumer information
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not include
acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
TEMPERATURE A, B AND CGUID-BBEBDBD5-A2E0-4A4D-9AA5-A82F3FBAD2EFThe temperature grades A (the highest), B, and
C, representing the tire’s resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sus-
tained high temperature can cause the material
of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire
failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent
higher levels of performance on the laboratory
test wheel than the minimum required by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, under-inflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat build-up and
possible tire failure.
