AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioner system in this NIS-
SAN vehicle must be charged with the
refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the
lubricant, NISSAN A/C system lubricant
PAG Type R or the exact equivalents.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or
lubricant will cause severe damage to
the air conditioning system and will
require the replacement of all air con-
ditioner system components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your
NISSAN vehicle does not harm the earth's
ozone layer. Although this refrigerant does
not affect the earth's atmosphere, certain
government regulations require the recov-
ery and recycling of any refrigerant during
automotive air conditioner system service.
An authorized NISSAN dealer has the
trained technicians and equipment needed
to recover and recycle your air conditioner
system refrigerant.Contact an authorized NISSAN dealer when
servicing your air conditioner system.

When planning to drive your NISSAN
vehicle 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
can be operated with unleaded gasoline.
Therefore, avoid driving your vehicle in ar-
eas 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
regulations.
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 dis-
trict and registered, its modifications,
transportation and registration are the
responsibility of the user. NISSAN is not
responsible for any inconvenience that
may result.
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION

Use the following steps to mount the front
license plate:
1. Remove the two screw gromments from
the glove box.
2. Carefully drill a hole using a 0.39 inch (10
mm) drill bill at each location mark (small
dimple) on the bumper fascia.
3. Insert one grommet into each hole.
4. Insert a small screwdriver into the grom-
met to turn the plastic insert.
5. Install the license plate with two M5 x 25
mm bolts.WARNING
cIt is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these ar-
eas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
cDo not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
c
Be sure everyone in the vehicle is in a
seat with their seat belt properly fas-
tened.
TERMS
It is important to familiarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle.
cCurb Weight (actual weight of your
vehicle) þ vehicle weight including:
standard and optional equipment, fluids,
emergency tools, and spare tire
assembly. This weightdoes notinclude
passengers and cargo.
cGVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) þ curb
weight plus the combined weight of pas-
sengers and cargo.

cGVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) þ
maximum total weight (load) limit speci-
fied for the vehicle.
cGAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) þ
maximum weight (load) limit specified
for the front or rear axle.
DETERMINING VEHICLE PAY-
LOAD CAPACITY
The payload capacity of this vehicle is de-
termined by weight, not by available cargo
space. For example, a roof rack, bike car-
rier, or similar equipment does not increase
payload carrying capacity of your vehicle.
To determine vehicle payload capacity:
Vehicle weight can be determined by using
a commercial-grade scale, found at places
such as a truck stop, gravel quarry, grain
elevator, or a scrap metal recycling facility.
1) Determine the curb weight of your ve-
hicle.
2) Compare the curb weight amount to the
GVWR specified for your vehicle to de-
termine how much more weight your
vehicle can carry.3) After loading (cargo and passengers),
reweigh your vehicle to determine if ei-
ther GVWR or GAWR for your vehicle is
exceeded. If GVWR is exceeded, re-
move cargo as necessary. If either the
front or rear GAWR is exceeded, shift the
load or remove cargo as necessary.
SECURING THE LOAD
For your convenience, tie down hooks are
placed at each corner of the truck box.
These may be used to help secure cargo
loaded into the truck box.
WARNING
cProperly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seat backs. In
a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal
injury.
ATI1020
9-16Technical and consumer information

cDo not load your vehicle any heavier
than the GVWR or the maximum
front and rear GAWR's. If you do,
parts on 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.
CAUTION
Overloading can shorten the life of your
vehicle. Failures caused by overloading
are not covered by your warranty.
LOADING TIPS
cThe GVW must not exceed GVWR or
GAWR as specified on the FMVSS Cer-
tification Label located on the driver's
door jamb pillar.
cDo not load the front and rear axle to the
GAWR. Doing so will exceed the
GVWR.
cLoads should be spread out, and cargo
should be properly secured. Large or
heavy objects should be placed towardthe front of the truck box to help prevent
sliding or shifting.
Crew Cab models:
Crew Cab models should not be used to
carry a slide-in camper.
Regular and King Cab models:
This information is provided for you to prop-
erly install a slide-in camper and is based on
the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin-
istration regulations. It is recommended
that, before installing the camper, you care-
fully read the following information and en-
sure that the camper meets the specifica-
tions.
This information may not apply to some
Canada model vehicles.
Special body vehicles
Some vehicles are equipped with commer-
cial or camper bodies. However, this Own-
er's Manual does not cover these options.
