2018 INFINITI QX60 weight

WARNING
∙ It is extremely dangerous to ride in acargo area inside a vehicle. 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 your 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 yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:
∙ Curb Weight (actual weight of your ve- hicle) - vehicle weight including: standard
and optional equipment, fluids, emer-
gency tools, and spare tire assembly. This
weight does not include passengers and
cargo.
∙ GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb weight plus the combined weight of pas-
sengers and cargo.
∙ GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) - The maximum total combined weight of
the vehicle, passengers, cargo and any
other optional equipment. ∙ GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -
maximum weight (load) limit specified for
the front or rear axle.
∙ GCWR (Gross Combined Weight rating) - The maximum total combined weight of
the vehicle, passengers, cargo and the
trailer.
∙ Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit, To- tal load capacity - maximum total weight
limit specified of the load (passengers
and cargo) for the vehicle. This is the
maximum combined weight of occupants
and cargo that can be loaded into the
vehicle.
∙ Cargo capacity - permissible weight of cargo, the subtracted weight of occu-
pants from the load limit.
VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY
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.
To get “the combined weight of occupants
and cargo”, add the weight of all occupants,
then add the total luggage weight, as shown
in the following illustration.

VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION
9-12Technical and consumer information

Steps for determining correct load
limit
1. Locate the statement “The combinedweight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX lbs. or XXX kg” on your
vehicle’s certification label.
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 lbs. or
XXX kg.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity. For example, if the XXX amount
equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five
150 lbs. passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400-750 (5
X 150) = 650 lbs.) or (640-340 (5 X 70)
= 300 kg.)
5. Determine the combined weight of lug- gage and cargo being loaded on the ve-
hicle. That weight may not safely exceed
the available cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity calculated in Step 4.

Technical and consumer information9-13

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,load from 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. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Measurement of
weights” in this section.
Also check tires for proper inflation pres-
sures. For additional information, refer to
“Tire placard” in the “Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section of this manual.
SECURING THE LOAD
There are luggage hooks located in the cargo
area as shown. The hooks can be used to
secure cargo with ropes or other types of
straps.
When securing items using luggage hooks
located on the side finisher do not apply a
load over more than 29 N (6.5 lbs.) to a single
hook.
The luggage hooks that are located on the
floor should have loads less than 490 N
(110 lbs.) to a single hook.
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 colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
∙ The child restraint top tether strap may be damaged by contact with items in the
cargo area. Secure any items in the cargo
area. Your child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the top tether
strap is damaged.
∙ Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the maximum front and
rear GAWRs. If you do, parts of your ve-
hicle can break, tire damage could occur,
or it can change the way your vehicle
handles. This could result in loss of con-
trol and cause personal injury.

LOADING TIPS
∙ The GVW must not exceed GVWR orGAWR.
∙ Do not load the front and rear axle to the GAWR. Doing so will exceed the GVWR.
WARNING
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes orstraps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, un-
secured 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 ve-
hicle can break, tire damage could occur,
or it can change the way your vehicle
handles. This could result in loss of con-
trol and cause personal injury.
∙ Overloading not only can shorten the life of your vehicle and the tire, but can also
cause unsafe vehicle handling and longer
braking distances. This may cause a pre-
mature tire failure which could result in a
serious accident and personal injury. Fail-
ures caused by overloading are not cov-
ered 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). If weight rat-
ings are exceeded, move or remove items to
bring all weights below the ratings. Quality Grades: All passenger car tires must
conform to safety requirements in addition to
these grades.
Quality grades can be found where appli-
cable 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 government test course. For ex-
ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one and
one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the govern-
ment course as a tire graded 100. The rela-
tive performance of tires depends upon the
actual conditions of their use, however, and
may depart significantly from the norm due
to variations in driving habits, service prac-
tices and differences in road characteristics
and climate.
