1. Locate the statement “The com-bined 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 lug-
gage load capacity. For example, if
the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs.
and there will be five 150 lb. pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount
of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-
750 (5 X 150) = 650 lbs.) 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 calcu-
lated in step 4.
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.
Towing a trailer with a vehicle that is
not intended for towing may result in
an accident involving injury or death.
WARNING
Do not tow a trailer with your ve-
hicle. Towing a trailer may result in
an accident involving injury or death. Before driving a loaded vehicle, con-
firm that you do not exceed the GVWR
or the GAWR for your vehicle. For ad-
ditional information, see “Measure-
ment of weights” (P. 10-19).
Also check tires for proper inflation
pressures. For additional information,
see “Tire and Loading Information la-
bel” (P. 8-29).

Lifestyle Receiver (if so equipped)
WARNING
The Lifestyle Receiver cannot be used for
towing a trailer. Only use the Lifestyle Re-
ceiver for receiver mounted accessories
that meet the below requirements.
• The maximum allowable load is 300 lbs.
(136 kg) including the weight of the in-
stalled accessory carrier.
• Do not exceed allowable cargo weight
capacity of your vehicle.
Failure to use the Lifestyle Receiver as in-
tended can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped with the Life-
style Receiver to avoid damage to your ve-
hicle do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.
Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle with the
Lifestyle Receiver (if so equipped). The Life-
style Receiver should be used for receiver-
mounted accessories only. The Lifestyle Re-
ceiver is designed for carrying bikes, snow
boards/skis, camping gear and various other
bulky items.
FLAT TOWING FOR ALL–WHEEL
DRIVE VEHICLE
Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground is sometimes called flat towing.
This method is sometimes used when towing
a vehicle behind a recreational vehicle, such
as a motor home.
CAUTION
• Failure to follow these guidelines can re-
sult in severe transmission damage.
• Never flat tow your All-wheel drive
(AWD) vehicle. •
DO NOT tow your All-wheel drive
(AWD) vehicle with any wheels on the
ground. Doing so may cause serious and
expensive damage to the powertrain.
• For emergency towing procedures see
“Towing recommended by INFINITI”
(P. 6-8).
Continuously Variable Transmission
To tow a vehicle equipped with a continu-
ously variable transmission, an appropriate
vehicle dolly MUSTbe placed under the
towed vehicle's drive wheels. Alwaysfollow
the dolly manufacturer's recommendations
when using their product.
NOTE:
It the battery is completely drained the
transmission will not manually shift to other
positions.
