2013 NISSAN LEAF weight

WARNING
Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo 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 not only can shorten the life of your vehicle and the tire, but can
cause unsafe vehicle handling and
longer braking distances. This may
cause a premature tire failure, which
could result in a serious accident and
personal injury. Failures caused by
overloading are not covered by the ve-
hicle’s warranty.
MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS
Secure 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 deter-
mine 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. Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.
