● 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.

garding tires, refer to “Important

Tire Safety Information” (US) or

mation Booklet.
