2017 INFINITI QX30 Owner's Manual

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY
Do not exceed the load limit of your vehicle
shown as “The combined weight of occupants
and cargo” on the Tire and Loading Information
label. Do not exceed the number of occupantsshown as “Seating Capacity” on the Tire and
Loading Information label.
To get “the combined weight of occupants and
cargo”, add the weight of all occupants, then
add the total luggage weight. Examples are
shown in the illustration.
Steps for determining correct load
limit
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight
of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount equals 1400
lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers
in your vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or 640 
340 (5 x 70) = 300 kg.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated
in Step 4.

10-14Technical information

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, loadfrom your trailer will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm that
you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for your vehicle. (See Measurement of
weights later in this section.)
Also check tires for proper inflation pressures.
See the Tire and Loading Information label.
LOADING TIPS
•The GVW must not exceed GVWR or GAWR as
specified on the F.M.V. S.S./C.M.V.S.S. cer-
tification 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 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 could not only shorten the life
of your vehicle and the tires, but also could
cause unsafe vehicle handling and longer
braking distances. This may cause a prema-
ture tire failure which could result in a seri-
ous accident and personal injury. Failures
caused by overloading are not covered by
the vehicle’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
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 rat- ings are exceeded, move or remove items to
bring all weights below the ratings.
Your vehicle was designed to be used to carry
passengers and luggage
CAUTION
Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING
Technical information10-15

DOT (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
TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment 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 characteristics
and climate.
TRACTION AA, A, B AND C
The 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 mea-
sured under controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and con-
crete. A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cor-
nering, hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.
TEMPERATURE A, B AND C
The 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.
Sustained high temperature can cause the ma-
terial 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 rep-
resent higher levels of performance on the
laboratory test wheel than the minimum re-
quired by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation,
or excessive loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat build-up and pos-
sible tire failure.

For Canada:
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect
which could cause a crash or could cause injury
or death, you should immediately inform Trans-
port Canada in addition to notifying INFINITI.
If Transport Canada receives complaints, it may
open an investigation, and if it finds that a
safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it
may request that INFINITI conduct a recall cam-
paign. However, Transport Canada cannot be-
come involved in individual problems between
you, your retailer, or INFINITI.
You may contact Transport Canada’s Defect
Investigations and Recalls Division toll free at
1-800-333- 0510. You may also report safety
defects online at:

To notify INFINITI of any safety concerns please
contact our Consumer Information Center toll
free at 1-800- 361-4792.WARNING
A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
should never be tested using a two wheel dy-
namometer (such as the dynamometers used
by some states for emissions testing), or simi-
lar equipment. Make sure you inform test facil-
ity personnel that your vehicle is equipped
with AWD before it is placed on a dynamom-
eter. Using the wrong test equipment may re-
sult in transmission damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in serious
vehicle damage or personal injury.
Due to legal requirements in some states and
Canadian Provinces, your vehicle may be re-
quired to be in what is called the “ready
condition” for an Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
test of the emission control system.
The vehicle is set to the “ready condition” when
it is driven through certain driving patterns.
Usually, the “ready condition” can be obtained
by ordinary usage of the vehicle.
If a powertrain system component is repaired or
the battery is disconnected, the vehicle may be
reset to a “not ready condition”. Before taking
the I/M test, check the vehicle’s inspection/
maintenance test readiness condition. Place the
ignition switch in the ON position without start- ing the engine. If the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) comes on steady for 20 seconds and then
blinks for 10 seconds, the I/M test condition is
“not ready”. If the MIL does not blink after 20
seconds, the I/M test condition is “ready”.
It is recommended you contact an INFINITI re-
tailer to set the “ready condition” or to prepare
the vehicle for testing.
READINESS FOR INSPECTION/
MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST
10-18Technical information

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
•How various systems in your vehicle were
operating.
•Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened.
•How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
•How fast the vehicle was traveling.
•Sounds are not recorded.
This data can help provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no
data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.
name, gender, age and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with
the type of personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip-
ment is required and access to the vehicle or
the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer and INFINITI retailer, other par-
ties, such as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. EDR
data will only be accessed with the consent of
the vehicle owner or lessee or as otherwise
required or permitted by law.
