WARNING
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes orstraps 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.
∙ Use suitable ropes and hooks to secure cargo.
∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage area. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a colli-
sion, 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.
∙ 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.
∙ Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars must be installed before ap-
plying load/cargo/luggage to the roof of the
vehicle. Genuine NISSAN accessory cross
bars are available through an INFINITI re-
tailer. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for additional information.
The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 165 lbs. (74 kg), however do not ex-
ceed the accessory cross bars load capacity.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear). For additional information regard-
ing GVWR and GAWR, refer to “Vehicle load-
ing information” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section of this manual.
WARNING
∙ Always install the cross bars onto the
roof side rails before loading cargo of any
kind. Loading cargo directly onto the
roof side rails or the vehicle’s roof may
cause vehicle damage.
∙
Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying capac-
ity, especially if the significant portion of
that load is carried on the cross bars.
∙ Heavy loading of the cross bars has the potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or unusual
handling maneuvers.
∙ Roof rack cross bars should be evenly distributed.
∙ Do not exceed maximum roof rack cross bars load capacity.
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, un-
secured cargo could cause personal
injury.

5-138Starting and driving
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specifications at all times. It is recommended
that wheel nuts be tightened to specification
at each tire rotation interval.
WARNING
∙ After rotating the tires, check and adjustthe tire pressure.
∙ Retighten the wheel nuts when the ve- hicle has been driven for 1,000 km
(600 miles) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).
∙ Do not include the spare tire in the tire rotation.
∙ Incorrect tire selection, fitting, care or maintenance can affect vehicle safety
with risk of accident and injury.
∙ If in doubt, consult an INFINITI retailer or the tire manufacturer.
∙ Improperly inflated tires can fail sud- denly and cause an accident.
∙ Before taking a long trip, or whenever you heavily load your vehicle, use a tire
pressure gauge to ensure that the tire
pressures are at the specified level.
Tire wear and damage
1. Wear indicator
2. Location mark
WARNING
∙ Tires should be periodically inspected forwear, cracking, bulging or objects caught
in the tread. If excessive wear, cracks,
bulging or deep cuts are found, the tire(s)
should be replaced.
∙ The original tires have built-in tread wear indicators. When the wear indicators are
visible, the tire(s) should be replaced.
∙ Tires degrade with age and use. Have tires, including the spare, over 6 years old
checked by a qualified technician because
some tire damage may not be obvious.
Replace the tires as necessary to prevent
tire failure and possible personal injury.
∙ Improper service of the spare tire may result in serious personal injury. If it is
necessary to repair the spare tire, con-
tact an INFINITI retailer.
Replacing wheels and tires
When replacing a tire, use the same size,
tread design, speed rating and load carrying
capacity as originally equipped. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Wheels and tires”
in the “Technical and consumer information”
section of this manual.

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.
