If you plan to travel in another country, you
should first find out if the fuel available is
suitable for your vehicle’s engine.
Using fuel with too low an octane rating
may cause engine damage. All gasoline
vehicles must be operated with unleaded
gasoline. Therefore, avoid taking your
vehicle to areas where appropriate fuel is
not available.
When transferring the registration of your
vehicle to another country, state, province
or district,
it may be necessary to modify
the vehicle to meet local laws and regula-
tions.
The laws and regulations for motor vehicle
emission control and safety standards vary
according to the country, state, province or
district; therefore, vehicle specifications
may differ.
When any vehicle is to be taken into
another country, state, province or district
and registered, its modifications, trans-
portation, and registration are the respon-
sibility of the user. INFINITI is not
responsible for any inconvenience that
may result.

WARNING

.

It is extremely dangerous to
ride in a cargo area inside the
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 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

vehicle) - vehicle weight includ-
ing: standard and optional equip-
ment, fluids, emergency tools,

and spare tire assembly. This
weight does not include passen-
gers and cargo.

.

GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb

weight plus the combined weight
of passengers and cargo.

.

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-

ing) - maximum total combined
weight of the unloaded vehicle,
passengers, luggage, hitch, trailer
tongue load and any other op-
tional equipment. This informa-
tion is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.
M.V.S.S. label.

.

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -

maximum weight (load) limit spe-
cified for the front or rear axle.
This information is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.

.

GCWR (Gross Combined Weight

Rating) - The maximum total
weight rating of the vehicle, pas-
sengers, cargo, and trailer.

.

Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load

limit, Total load capacity - max-

imum total weight limit specified
of the load (passengers and car-
go) for the vehicle. This is the
maximum combined weight of
occupants and cargo that can be
loaded into the vehicle. If the
vehicle is used to tow a trailer,
the trailer tongue weight must be
included as part of the cargo load.
This information is located on the
Tire and Loading Information la-
bel.

.

Cargo capacity - permissible

weight of cargo, the weight of
total occupants weight subtracted
from the load limit.

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
occupants shown as “Seating Capa-
city” on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation 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 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.

Technical and consumer information

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 exam-
ple, if the XXX amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five
150 lb. passengers in your vehi-
cle, 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 avail-
able cargo and luggage load
capacity calculated 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.

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 “Mea-
surement of weights” (P.10-17).)
Also check tires for proper inflation
pressures. See the Tire and Loading
Information label.

SECURING THE LOAD

There are tie down hooks located in the
cargo area as shown. The tie down hooks
can be used to secure cargo with ropes or
other types of straps.
Do not apply a total load of more than 22
lb (10 kg) to a single hook

when securing cargo.

WARNING

.

Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than

Condition:

the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal 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
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.

LOADING TIPS

.

The GVW must not exceed GVWR

or GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.
S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification 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 not only can
shorten the life of your vehi-
cle and the tire, but can cause
unsafe vehicle handling and
long braking distance. This

may cause a premature tire
failure, which could result in a
serious 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 sepa-
rately to determine axle loads. In-
dividual 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
ratings are exceeded, move or re-
move items to bring all weights
below the ratings.

WARNING

Overloading or improper loading of a trailer
and its cargo can adversely affect vehicle
handling, braking and performance and may
lead to accidents.

CAUTION

.

Do not tow a trailer or haul a heavy load
for the first 500 miles (800 km). Your
engine, axle or other parts could be
damaged.

.

For the first 500 miles (800 km) that you
tow a trailer, do not drive over 50 MPH
(80 km/h) and do not make starts at full
throttle. This helps the engine and other
parts of your vehicle wear in at the
heavier loads.

Your new vehicle was designed to be used
primarily to carry passengers and cargo.
Remember that towing a trailer places
additional loads on your vehicle’s engine,
drivetrain, steering, braking and other
systems.

An INFINITI Towing Guide (U.S. only) is
available on the website at
www.InfinitiUSA.com. This guide includes
information on trailer towing capability and
the special equipment required for proper
towing.

MAXIMUM LOAD LIMITS
Maximum trailer loads

Never allow the total trailer load to exceed
the value specified in the “Towing load/
specification” (P.10-22). The total trailer
load equals trailer weight plus its cargo
weight.

.

When towing a trailer load of 3,500 lbs

(1,587 kg) or more, trailers with a
brake system MUST be used.

The maximum Gross Combined Weight
Rating (GCWR) should not exceed the value
specified in the following “Towing Load/
Specification” chart.

STI0541

The GCWR equals the combined weight of
the towing vehicle (including passengers
and cargo) plus the total trailer load.
Towing loads greater than these or using
improper towing equipment could ad-
versely affect vehicle handling, braking
and performance.
The ability of your vehicle to tow a trailer is
not only related to the maximum trailer
loads, but also the places you plan to tow.
Tow weights appropriate for level highway
driving may have to be reduced on very
steep grades or for low traction situations
(for example, on slippery boat ramps).
Temperature conditions can also affect

towing. For example, towing a heavy trailer
in high outside temperatures on graded
roads can affect engine performance and
cause overheating. The transmission high
fluid temperature and engine protection
mode, which helps reduce the chance of
transmission and engine damage, could
activate and automatically decrease en-
gine power. Vehicle speed may decrease
under high load. Plan your trip carefully to
account for trailer and vehicle load, weath-
er and road conditions.

WARNING

Overheating can result in reduced engine
power and vehicle speed. The reduced speed
may be lower than other traffic, which could
increase the chance of a collision. Be
especially careful when driving. If the
vehicle cannot maintain a safe driving
speed, pull to the side of the road in a safe
area. Allow the engine to cool and return to
normal operation. See
If your vehicle over-
heats
(P.6-14).

CAUTION

Vehicle damage resulting from improper
towing procedures is not covered by INFINITI
warranties.

STI0542

Tongue load

When using a weight carrying or a weight
distributing hitch, keep the tongue load
between 10 to 15% of the total trailer load
or use the trailer tongue load specified by
the trailer manufacturer. The tongue load
must be within the maximum tongue load
limits shown in the following “Towing
Load/Specification” chart. If the tongue
load becomes excessive, rearrange cargo
to allow for proper tongue load.

MAXIMUM GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT

(GVW)/MAXIMUM GROSS AXLE

WEIGHT (GAW)

The GVW of the towing vehicle must not
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.
certification label. The GVW equals the
combined weight of the unloaded vehicle,
passengers, luggage, hitch, trailer tongue
load and any other optional equipment. In
addition, front or rear GAW must not
exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.
S. certification label.

Towing capacities are calculated assuming
a base vehicle with driver and any options
required to achieve the rating. Additional
passengers, cargo and/or optional equip-
ment, such as the trailer hitch, will add
weight to the vehicle and reduce your
vehicle’s maximum towing capacity and
trailer tongue load.
The vehicle and trailer need to be weighed
to confirm the vehicle is within the GVWR,
Front GAWR, Rear GAWR, Gross Combined
Weight Rating (GCWR) and Towing capacity.
All vehicle and trailer weights can be
measured using platform type scales com-
monly found at truck stops, highway weigh
stations, building supply centers or sal-
vage yards.
To determine the available payload capa-
city for tongue/king pin load, use the
following procedure.
1. Locate the GVWR on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.

V.S.S. certification label.

2. Weigh your vehicle on the scale with all

of the passengers and cargo that are
normally in the vehicle when towing a
trailer.

3. Subtract the actual vehicle weight from

the GVWR. The remaining amount is the

available maximum tongue/king pin
load.

To determine the available towing capacity,
use the following procedure.
1. Find the GCWR for your vehicle on the

“Towing Load/Specification” chart
found later in this section.

2. Subtract the actual vehicle weight from

the GCWR. The remaining amount is the
available maximum towing capacity.

To determine the Gross Trailer Weight,
weigh your trailer on a scale with all
equipment and cargo, that are normally in
the trailer when it is towed. Make sure the
Gross trailer weight is not more than the
Gross Trailer Weight Rating shown on the
trailer and is not more than the calculated
available maximum towing capacity.
Also weigh the front and rear axles on the
scale to make sure the Front Gross Axle
Weight and Rear Gross Axle Weight are not
more than Front Gross Axle Weight and
Rear Gross Axle Weight on the F.M.V.S.S./C.
M.V.S.S. certification label. The cargo in the
trailer and vehicle may need to be moved
or removed to meet the specified ratings.

personal injury or property damage.

Hitch ball

Choose a hitch ball of the proper size and
weight rating for your trailer:
.

The required hitch ball size is stamped

on most trailer couplers. Most hitch
balls also have the size printed on top
of the ball.

.

Choose the proper class hitch ball

based on the trailer weight.

.

The diameter of the threaded shank of

the hitch ball must be matched to the
ball mount hole diameter. The hitch ball
shank should be no more than 1/16”
smaller than the hole in the ball mount.

.

The threaded shank of the hitch ball

must be long enough to be properly
secured to the ball mount. There should
be at least 2 threads showing beyond
the lock washer and nut.

Ball mount

The hitch ball is attached to the ball mount
and the ball mount is inserted into the
hitch receiver. Choose a proper class ball
mount based on the trailer weight. Addi-
tionally, the ball mount should be chosen

to keep the trailer tongue level with the
ground.

Weight carrying hitches

A weight carrying or “dead weight” ball
mount is one that is designed to carry the
whole amount of tongue weight and gross
weight directly on the ball mount and on
the receiver.

Weight distribution hitch

This type of hitch is also called a “load-
leveling” or “equalizing” hitch. A set of
bars attach to the ball mount and to the
trailer to distribute the tongue weight
(hitch weight) of your trailer. Many vehicles
cannot carry the full tongue weight of a
given trailer, and need some of the tongue
weight transferred through the frame and
pushing down on the front wheels. This
gives stability to the tow vehicle.
A weight-distributing hitch system (Class
IV) is recommended if you plan to tow
trailers with a maximum weight over 5,000
lbs (2,267 kg). Check with the trailer and
towing equipment manufacturers to deter-
mine if they recommend the use of a
weight-distributing hitch system.

NOTE:
A weight-distributing hitch system may
affect the operation of trailer surge brakes.
If you are considering use of a weight-
distributing hitch system with a surge
brake-equipped trailer, check with the
surge brake, hitch or trailer manufacturer
to determine if and how this can be done.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer for installing and using the
weight-distributing hitch system.
General set-up instructions are as follows:
1. Park unloaded vehicle on a level sur-

face. With the ignition switch in the ON
position and the doors closed, allow
the vehicle to stand for several minutes
so that it can level.

2. Measure the height of a reference point

on the front and rear bumpers at the
center of the vehicle.

3. Attach the trailer to the vehicle and

adjust the hitch equalizers so that the
front bumper height is within 0 - .5
inches (0 - 13 mm) of the reference
height measured in step 2. The rear
bumper should be no higher than the
reference height measured in step 2.

WARNING

Properly adjust the weight distributing hitch
so the rear of the bumper is no higher than
the measured reference height when the
trailer is attached. If the rear bumper is
higher than the measured reference height
when loaded, the vehicle may handle
unpredictably which could cause a loss of
vehicle control and cause serious personal
injury or property damage.

Sway control device

Sudden maneuvers, wind gusts and buffet-
ing caused by other vehicles can affect
trailer handling. Sway control devices may
be used to help control these affects. If you
choose to use one, contact a reputable
trailer hitch supplier to make sure the sway
control device will work with the vehicle,
hitch, trailer and the trailer’s brake system.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer for installing and using the
sway control device.

Class I hitch

Class I trailer hitch equipment (receiver,
ball mount and hitch ball) can be used to

tow trailers of a maximum weight of 2,000
lb (907 kg).

Class II hitch

Class II trailer hitch equipment (receiver,
ball mount and hitch ball) can be used to
tow trailers of a maximum weight of 3,500
lb (1,588 kg).

Class III hitch

Class III trailer hitch equipment (receiver,
ball mount and hitch ball) can be used to
tow trailers of a maximum weight of 5,000
lb (2,267 kg).

Class IV hitch

Class IV trailer hitch equipment (receiver,
ball mount and hitch ball) can be used to
tow trailers of a maximum weight of
10,000 lb (4,545 kg). A weight distributing
hitch should be used to tow trailers that
weigh over 5,000 lb (2,267 kg).
Your vehicle may be equipped with Class IV
trailer hitch equipment that has a 10,000
lb (4,545 kg) maximum weight rating, but
your vehicle is only capable of towing the
maximum trailer weights shown in the
“Towing Load/Specification” chart earlier
in this section.

CAUTION

.

Do not use axle-mounted hitches.

.

Do not modify the vehicle exhaust
system, brake system, etc.

.

Do not attach any additional hitches to
your vehicle because a hitch is already
mounted to your vehicle frame.

Tire pressures

.

When towing a trailer, inflate the

vehicle tires to the recommended
cold tire pressure indicated on the
Tire and Loading Information la-
bel.

.

Trailer tire condition, size, load

rating and proper inflation pres-
sure should be in accordance with
the trailer and tire manufacturers’
specifications.

Safety chains

Always use a suitable chain between your
vehicle and the trailer. The safety chains
should be crossed and should be attached
to the hitch, not to the vehicle bumper or
