WARNING

● Improperly inflated tires can fail

suddenly and cause an accident.

● The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

(GVWR)

is

located

on

the

F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.

certifica-

tion label. The vehicle weight ca-
pacity is indicated on the Tire and
Loading Information label (if so
equipped). Do not load your ve-
hicle beyond this capacity. Over-
loading your vehicle may result in
reduced tire life, unsafe operat-
ing conditions due to premature
tire failure, or unfavorable han-
dling characteristics and could
also lead to a serious accident.
Loading beyond the specified ca-
pacity 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.

● Increase the cold tire inflation

pressure as indicated in

؆Check-

ing tire pressure

؆ later in this sec-

tion when using the tires speci-
fied by NISSAN above 100 MPH
(162 km/h) where it is legal to do
so (on a race track for example).
Failure to increase the cold tire
inflation pressure may result in
tire failure, loss of control and
possible injury. After such use,
readjust tire pressure.

● For additional information re-

garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire

Safety

Information”

(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.
