2019 INFINITI QX30 load capacity

Folding
The luggage compartment loading capacity
can be increased by folding the rear seat-
backs forward.
To fold the seatback:
1. Ensure head restraints are properly
stowed, see "Head restraints/Headrests"
later in this section.
2. Move the front driver or passenger seat
forward if necessary.
3. Release the seatback lock by pulling the
release handle as shown.
4. Fold the seatback forward as shown.5. Insert the seat belt into the seat belt
holder as shown.
6. Move the front driver or passenger seat
back if necessary. Avoid contact between
the rear seat and the front seat.
To return the seatback to an upright posi-
tion:
1. Move the front driver or passenger seat
forward if necessary.
2. Make sure the seat belts are clear of the
seatback latch mechanism.
3. Lift the seatback up and push firmly to
lock.
4. If the red marker is visible then the seat-
back has not latched properly — release
and then re-latch the seat.5. If the head restraint/headrest was re-
moved, reinstall and properly adjust the
head restraint/headrest before an occu-
pant uses the seating position. See "Head
restraints/Headrests" later in this section.
WARNING
Always use the seat belt holder, and ensure
that the seat belt is not trapped in the seat-
back latch mechanism. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the seat belt, and this may
increase the risk of serious injury or death
in a collision.

ROOF RACK (IF EQUIPPED)
Genuine NISSAN accessory cross bars are
available through an INFINITI retailer. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for cross bar or other equipment information.
Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars (if so equipped) must be in-
stalled before applying load/cargo/luggage
to the roof of the vehicle. Always distribute
the luggage evenly on the cross bars. Do not
load more than 221 lb (100 kg) on the roof
rails. Observe the maximum load limit shown
on the crossbars or roof carriers when you
attach them on the roof rails.Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front
and rear). The GVWR and GAWR are located
on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S. certification
label (located on the driver’s door pillar). For
additional information, refer to "Vehicle load-
ing information".
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 ca-
pacity, especially if the significant por-
tion of that load is carried on the cross
bars/roof rack.
•Heavy loading of the cross bars/roof
rack has the potential to affect the ve-
hicle stability and handling during sud-
den or unusual handling maneuvers.
•Roof rack load should be evenly distrib-
uted.
•Do not exceed maximum cross bar/roof
rack load weight capacity.
•Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause personal
injury.
CAUTION
Always install the cross bars (if so
equipped) onto the roof side rails before
loading cargo of any kind. Loading cargo
directly onto the roof side rails or the vehi-
cle's roof may cause vehicle damage.

RUN-FLAT TIRES
With special run-flat tires, you can continue
to drive your vehicle even if there is a total
loss of pressure in one or more tires. The
affected tire must not show any clearly visible
damage.
You can recognize run-flat tires by the mark-
ing which appears on the tire side wall. You
will find this marking next to the tire size
designation, the load-bearing capacity and
the speed index.
Run-flat tires may only be used in conjunction
with an activated tire pressure loss warning
system or tire pressure monitor.
Pressure loss warning message
If a pressure loss warning message appears
in the vehicle information display:
•Observe the instructions in the display
messages.
•Check the tire for damage.
•If driving on, observe the following notes.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
is approximately 50 miles (80 km) when the
vehicle is partially laden and approximately
20 miles (30 km) when the vehicle is fully laden.

Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including the spare)
often and always prior to long distance trips.
The recommended tire pressure specifica-
tions are shown on the F.M.V.S.S./
C.M.V.S.S. label or the Tire and Loading In-
formation label (if so equipped) under the
Cold Tire Pressure heading. The Tire and
Loading Information label is affixed to the
driver side center pillar. Tire pressures should
be checked regularly because:
•Most tires naturally lose air over time.
•Tires can lose air suddenly when driven
over potholes or other objects or if the
vehicle strikes a curb while parking.
The tire pressures should be checked when
the tires are cold. The tires are considered
COLD after the vehicle has been parked for
3 or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
WARNING
•Improperly inflated tires can fail sud-
denly and cause an accident.
•The Gross Vehicle Weight rating
(GVWR) is located on the F.M.V.S. S./
C.M.V.S.S. certification label. The ve-
hicle weight capacity is indicated on the
Tire and Loading Information label (if so
equipped). Do not load your vehicle be-
yond this capacity. Overloading your
vehicle may result in reduced tire life,
unsafe operating conditions due to pre-
mature tire failure, or unfavorable han-
dling characteristics and could also lead
to a serious accident. Loading beyond
the specified capacity may also result in
failure of other vehicle components.
•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.
•For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety
Information” (US) or “Tire Safety Infor-
mation” (Canada) in the Warranty In-
formation Booklet.

•Tires degrade with age and use. Have
tires, including the spare, over 6 years
old checked by a qualified technician be-
cause some tire damage may not be ob-
vious. Replace the tires as necessary to
prevent tire failure and possible per-
sonal injury.
•Improper service of the spare tire may
result in serious personal injury. If it is
necessary to repair the spare tire, it is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
•For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety In-
formation” (US) or “Tire Safety Infor-
mation” (Canada) in the Warranty In-
formation Booklet.
Tires should be periodically inspected for
wear, cracking, bulging or objects caught in
the tread. If excessive wear, cracks, bulging
or deep cuts are found, the tire should be
replaced immediately.
The original tires have a built-in tread wear
indicator. When the wear indicator is visible,
the tire should be replaced.
Improper servicing of a tire may result in se-
rious personal injury. If it is necessary to re-pair a tire, it is recommended you contact an
INFINITI retailer.
TIRE ROTATION
INFINITI recommends rotating the tires ev-
ery 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
For additional information on tire replacing
procedures, refer to "Flat tire".As soon as
possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the speci-
fied torque with a torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque: 96 ft-lb
(130 N·m)
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 ad-
just the tire pressure.
•Do not include the spare tire in the tire
rotation.
•For additional information regarding
tires, refer to "Important Tire Safety
Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Infor-
mation" in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
REPLACING WHEELS AND TIRES
WARNING
Do not install a deformed wheel or tire even
if it has been repaired. Such wheels or tires
could have structural damage and could
fail without warning.
When replacing a tire, use the same size,
speed rating and load carrying capacity as
originally equipped. (See "Wheels and Tires"
for recommended types and sizes of tires and
wheels.)
If the wheels are changed for any reason,
always replace with wheels which have the
same offset dimension. Wheels of a different
offset could cause early tire wear, possibly
degraded vehicle handling characteristics
and/or interference with the brake discs/
drums. Such interference can lead to de-
creased braking efficiency and/or early brake
pad/shoe wear.
Confirm the following for the TPMS:
WARNING
•The use of tires other than those recom-
mended or the mixed use of tires of dif-
ferent brands, construction (bias, bias-
belted or radial), or tread patterns can
