load capacity NISSAN GT-R 2015 R35 Owners Manual

.If nitrogen is not available, compressed
air may be safely used under normal
driving conditions. However, NISSAN
recommends refilling with nitrogen for
maximum tire performance.
The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered \fOLD a\bter the vehicle has
been parked \bor 3 or more hours, or driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate
speeds.
Incorrect tire pressure, including un-
der inflation, may adversely affect tire
life and vehicle handling.
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. certification la-
bel. The vehicle weight capacity
is indicated on the Tire and
Loading Information label (if so
equipped) . Do not load your vehicle beyond this capacity.
Overloading your vehicle may
result in reduced tire life, unsafe
operating conditions due to pre-
mature tire failure, or unfavor-
able handling characteristics
and could also lead to a serious
accident. Loading beyond the
specified capacity may also re-
sult 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.
.For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire Safety Information” (Cana-
da) in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
NOTE:
.
Use only genuine GT-R tires and road
wheels.
The GT-R uses specially designed run-
flat tires and matching road wheels.
Use of these specially developed tires
and wheels provides the greatest po-
tential for maximum performance.
—Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels
help achieve maximum cornering
and braking performance.
— Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels
help achieve maximum tire durabil-
ity during acceleration.
— Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels
help achieve maximum handling
capability during performance driv-
ing.
— Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels
help provide road holding in the
event of decreasing tire pressure
and punctures.
— Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels
help prevent the decrease of
straight-running stability caused by
uneven tire wear due to high rigidity
wheels and wide tires.

WARNING
.It is extremely dangerous to ride
in a cargo area inside the vehi-
cle. 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 yo�frself with the
following terms �before loading yo�fr vehicle:
.C�fr�b Weight (act�fal weight of yo�fr
vehicle) - vehicle weight incl�fding:
standard and optional eq�fipment, fl�fids
or emergency tools. This weightdoes
not incl�fde passengers and cargo.
.GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - c�fr�b
weight pl�fs the com�bined weight of
passengers and cargo.
.GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
- maxim�fm total com�bined weight of the
�fnloaded vehicle, passengers, l�fggage,
hitch, trailer tong�fe load and any other
optional eq�fipment. This information is
located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.
la�bel.
.GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -
maxim�fm weight (load) limit specified
for the front or rear axle. This informa-
tion is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.
S.S. la�bel.
.GCWR (Gross Com�bined Weight Rat-
ing) - The maxim�fm total weight rating
of the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and
trailer.
.Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit,
Total load capacity - maxim�fm total
weight limit specified of the load
(passengers and cargo) for the vehicle.
This is the maxim�fm com�bined weight
of occ�fpants and cargo that can �be
loaded into the vehicle. If the vehicle is �fsed to tow a trailer, the trailer tong�fe
weight m�fst �be incl�fded as part of the
cargo load. This information is located
on the Tire and Loading Information
la�bel.
.Cargo capacity - permissi�ble weight of
cargo, the weight of total occ�fpants
weight s�f�btracted from the load limit.
VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY
Do not exceed the load limit of your vehicle
sho�fn as “The combined �fei�bht of occu-
pants and car�bo” on the Tire and Loadin�b
Information label. Do not exceed the
number of occupants sho�fn as “Seatin�b
Capacity” on the Tire and Loadin�b Informa-
tion label.
To �bet “the combined �fei�bht of occupants
and car�bo”, add the �fei�bht of all occu-
pants, then add the total lu�b�ba�be �fei�bht.
Examples are sho�fn in the illustration.
Steps for determining correct load
limit
1.Locate the statement “The combined
�fei�bht of occupants and car�bo should
never exceed XXX k�b or XXX lbs” on
your vehicle’s placard.
2.Determine the combined �fei�bht of the
driver and passen�bers that �fill be ridin�b
in your vehicle.
3.Subtract the combined �fei�bht of the
driver and passen�bers from XXX k�b or
XXX lbs.
4.The resultin�b fi�bure equals the available
amount of car�bo and lu�b�ba�be load
capacity. For example, if the XXX
amount equals 1400 lbs. and there �fill
be five 150 lb. passen�bers in your
vehicle, the amount of available car�bo
and lu�b�ba�be load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400í750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or
640 í340 (5 x 70) = 300 k�b.)
5.Determine the combined �fei�bht of
lu�b�ba�be and car�bo bein�b loaded on
the vehicle. That �fei�bht may not safely
exceed the available car�bo and lu�b�ba�be
load capacity calculated in Step 4.
6.If your vehicle �fill be to�fin�b a trailer,
load from your trailer �fill be transferred
to your vehicle. Consult this manual to
determine ho�f this reduces the avail-
able car�bo and lu�b�ba�be load capacity
of your vehicle.
Before drivin�b a loaded vehicle, confirm
that you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Wei�bht Ratin�b (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Wei�bht Ratin�b (GAWR) for your vehicle.
