WARNING
.It is extremely dangerous to ride
in a cargo area inside the vehi-
cle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
.Do not allow people to ride in
any area of vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts.
.Be sure everyone in your vehicle
is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
TERMS
It is important to familiarize yo�frself with the
following terms �before loading yo�fr vehicle:
.C�fr�b Weight (act�fal weight of yo�fr
vehicle) - vehicle weight incl�fding:
standard and optional eq�fipment, fl�fids
or emergency tools. This weightdoes
not incl�fde passengers and cargo.
.GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - c�fr�b
weight pl�fs the com�bined weight of
passengers and cargo.
.GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
- maxim�fm total com�bined weight of the
�fnloaded vehicle, passengers, l�fggage,
hitch, trailer tong�fe load and any other
optional eq�fipment. This information is
located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.
la�bel.
.GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -
maxim�fm weight (load) limit specified
for the front or rear axle. This informa-
tion is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.
S.S. la�bel.
.GCWR (Gross Com�bined Weight Rat-
ing) - The maxim�fm total weight rating
of the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and
trailer.
.Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit,
Total load capacity - maxim�fm total
weight limit specified of the load
(passengers and cargo) for the vehicle.
This is the maxim�fm com�bined weight
of occ�fpants and cargo that can �be
loaded into the vehicle. If the vehicle is �fsed to tow a trailer, the trailer tong�fe
weight m�fst �be incl�fded as part of the
cargo load. This information is located
on the Tire and Loading Information
la�bel.
.Cargo capacity - permissi�ble weight of
cargo, the weight of total occ�fpants
weight s�f�btracted from the load limit.
VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY
Do not exceed the load limit of your vehicle
sho�fn as “The combined �fei�bht of occu-
pants and car�bo” on the Tire and Loadin�b
Information label. Do not exceed the
number of occupants sho�fn as “Seatin�b
Capacity” on the Tire and Loadin�b Informa-
tion label.
To �bet “the combined �fei�bht of occupants
and car�bo”, add the �fei�bht of all occu-
pants, then add the total lu�b�ba�be �fei�bht.
Examples are sho�fn in the illustration.
Steps for determining correct load
limit
1.Locate the statement “The combined
�fei�bht of occupants and car�bo should
never exceed XXX k�b or XXX lbs” on
your vehicle’s placard.
2.Determine the combined �fei�bht of the
driver and passen�bers that �fill be ridin�b
in your vehicle.
3.Subtract the combined �fei�bht of the
driver and passen�bers from XXX k�b or
XXX lbs.
4.The resultin�b fi�bure equals the available
amount of car�bo and lu�b�ba�be load
capacity. For example, if the XXX
amount equals 1400 lbs. and there �fill
be five 150 lb. passen�bers in your
vehicle, the amount of available car�bo
and lu�b�ba�be load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400í750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or
640 í340 (5 x 70) = 300 k�b.)
5.Determine the combined �fei�bht of
lu�b�ba�be and car�bo bein�b loaded on
the vehicle. That �fei�bht may not safely
exceed the available car�bo and lu�b�ba�be
load capacity calculated in Step 4.
6.If your vehicle �fill be to�fin�b a trailer,
load from your trailer �fill be transferred
to your vehicle. Consult this manual to
determine ho�f this reduces the avail-
able car�bo and lu�b�ba�be load capacity
of your vehicle.
Before drivin�b a loaded vehicle, confirm
that you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Wei�bht Ratin�b (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Wei�bht Ratin�b (GAWR) for your vehicle.

Also check tires for proper inflation pres-
s�fres. See the Tire an�b Loa�bing Information
label.
LOADING TIPS
.The GVW m�fst not excee�b GVWR or
GAWR as specifie�b on the F.M.V.S.S./
C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
.Do not loa�b the front an�b rear axle to
the GAWR. Doing so will excee�b 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. Thiscould 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. Repairs due to over-
loading the vehicle are not
covered by the vehicle’s war-
ranty. (See the 2015 NISSAN
GT-R Warranty Information
Booklet.)
MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS
Sec�fre loose items to prevent weight shifts
that co�fl�b affect the balance of yo�fr
vehicle. When the vehicle is loa�be�b, �brive
to a scale an�b weigh the front an�b the rear
wheels separately to �betermine axle loa�bs.
In�bivi�b�fal axle loa�bs sho�fl�b not excee�b
either of the gross axle weight ratings
(GAWR) . The total of the axle loa�bs sho�fl�b
not excee�b the gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR) . These ratings are given on the
vehicle certification label. If weight ratings
are excee�be�b, move or remove items to
bring all weights below the ratings.

Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground is so�feti�fes called flat towing. This
�fethod is so�feti�fes used when towing a
vehicle behind a recreational vehicle, such as a
�fotor ho�fe.
�bO NOT tow the GT-R with all four wheels on
the ground (flat towing) . �boing so WILL
�bAMAGE internal trans�fission parts. Tow the
GT-R with all four wheels off the ground.
(
“Towing your vehicle” page 6-9)�bOT (�bepart�fent Of Transportation) Quality
Grades: All passenger car tires �fust confor�f to
federal safety require�fents in addition to these
grades.
Quality grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
�faxi�fu�f section width. For exa�fple:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature ATREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a co�fparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
govern�fent test course. For exa�fple, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1
1/2) ti�fes as well on the govern�fent course as
a tire graded 100. The relative perfor�fance of
tires depends upon actual conditions of their
use, however, and �fay depart significantly fro�f
the nor�f due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road char-
acteristics and cli�fate.

FLAT TOWINGUNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING

9-18Technical and consumer information
TRACTION AA, A, B AND C
The traction grades, fro�f highest to lowest, are
AA, A, �b and C. Those grades represent the
tire’s ability to stop on wet pave�fent as
�feasured under controlled conditions on spe-
cified govern�fent test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire �farked C �fay have poor
traction perfor�fance.
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 C
The te�fperature 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 te�fperature can cause the �faterial
of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive te�fperature can lead to sudden tire
failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of
perfor�fance which all passenger car tires �fust�feet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 109. Grades �b and A represent
higher levels of perfor�fance on the laboratory
test wheel than the �fini�fu�f 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.
