WHEELS AND TIRES
If you have a flat tire, see the (cid:147)In case of emergency(cid:148) section of this manual. TIRE PRESSURE Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the low tire pressure warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. If equipped, the system also displays pres- sure of all tires (except the spare tire) on the display screen by sending a signal from a sensor that is installed in each wheel. The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may not de- tect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a flat tire while driving). For more details, refer to (cid:147)Low tire pres- sure warning light(cid:148) in the (cid:147)Instruments and controls(cid:148) section, (cid:147)Tire pressure informa- tion(cid:148) in the (cid:147)Display screen, heater, air

The recommended tire pres- sure specifications are shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label or the Tire and Loading Information label under the 9Cold Tire Inflation Pressure9 heading. The Tire and Loading Information label is affixed to the driver side center pillar. Tire pressures should be checked regularly because: c Most tires naturally lose air over time. c Tires can lose air suddenly when driven over potholes or other objects or if the vehicle strikes a curb while parking.
The tire pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. The tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 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.

Checking tire pressure 1. Remove the valve stem cap from the
tire.
2. Press the pressure gauge squarely onto the valve stem. Do not press too hard or force the valve stem side- ways, or air will escape. If the hissing sound of air escaping from the tire is heard while checking the pressure, reposition the gauge to eliminate this leakage.
3. Remove the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge stem and compare to the specifica- tion shown on the Tire and Loading Information label.
5. Add air to the tire as needed. If too much air is added, press the core of the valve stem briefly with the tip of the gauge stem to release pressure. Recheck the pressure and add or release air as needed. Install the valve stem cap.
6. 7. Check the pressure of all other tires,
including the spare.

TIRE LABELING Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information iden- tifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also pro- vides the tire identification number (TIN) for safety standard certification. The TIN can be used to identify the tire in case of a recall.
8-34 Maintenance and do-it-yourself
s1 Tire size (example: P215/65R15 95H) 1. P: The 9P9 indicates the tire is de- signed for passenger vehicles (not all tires have this information).
2. Three-digit number (215): This num- ber gives the width in millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge to side- wall edge.
3. Two-digit number (65): This number, known as the aspect ratio, gives the tire(cid:146)s ratio of height to width.
Example
WDI0395
4. R: The 9R9 stands for radial. 5. Two-digit number (15): This number is the wheel or rim diameter in inches. 6. Two- or three-digit number (95): This number is the tire(cid:146)s load index. It is a measurement of how much weight each tire can support. You may not find this information on all tires be- cause it is not required by law.

s7 The word (cid:147)radial(cid:148) The word (cid:147)radial(cid:148) is shown if the tire has radial structure. s8 Manufacturer or brand name Manufacturer or brand name is shown. Other Tire-related Terminology In addition to the many terms that are defined throughout this section, Intended Outboard Sidewall is (1) the sidewall that contains a whitewall, bears white lettering or bears manufacturer, brand, and/or model name molding that is higher or deeper than the same molding on the other sidewall of the tire, or (2) the out- ward facing sidewall of an asymmetrical tire that has a particular side that must always face outward when mounted on a vehicle.
TYPES OF TIRES
WARNING
c When changing or replacing tires, be sure all four tires are of the same type (i.e., Summer, All Season or Snow) and construction. A NISSAN dealer may be able to help you with information about tire type, size, speed rating and availability.
c Replacement tires may have a lower speed rating than the factory equipped tires, and may not match the potential maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed the maximum speed rating of the tire.
c Replacing tires with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the low tire pres- sure warning system.
c For additional
information regarding tires, refer to (cid:147)Important Tire Safety In- formation(cid:148) (US) or (cid:147)Tire Safety Informa- tion(cid:148) (Canada) in the Warranty Informa- tion Booklet.
s3 Tire ply composition and material The number of layers or plies of rubber- coated fabric in the tire. Tire manufactur- ers also must indicate the materials in the tire, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others. s4 Maximum permissible inflation pres- sure This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should be put in the tire. Do not exceed the maximum permissible in- flation pressure. s5 Maximum load rating This number indicates the maximum load in kilograms and pounds that can be car- ried by the tire. When replacing the tires on the vehicle, always use a tire that has the same load rating as the factory in- stalled tire. s6 Term of (cid:147)tubeless(cid:148) or (cid:147)tube type(cid:148) Indicates whether the tire requires an in- ner tube ((cid:147)tube type(cid:148)) or not ((cid:147)tubeless(cid:148)).

All season tires NISSAN specifies All Season tires on some mod- els to provide good performance all year, includ- ing snowy and icy road conditions. All Season tires are identified by ALL SEASON and/or M&S on the tire sidewall. Snow tires have better snow traction than All Season tires and may be more appropriate in some areas. Summer tires NISSAN specifies summer tires on some models to provide superior performance on dry roads. Summer tire performance is substantially re- duced in snow and ice. Summer tires do not have the tire traction rating (cid:147)M&S(cid:148) on the tire sidewall.
If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy or icy conditions, NISSAN recommends the use of SNOW tires or ALL SEASON tires on all four wheels. Snow tires If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size and load rating to the original equipment tires. it can adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle. Generally, snow tires have lower speed ratings than factory equipped tires and may not match
If you do not,
the potential maximum vehicle speed. Never ex- ceed the maximum speed rating of the tire.
If you install snow tires, they must be the same size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all four wheels. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires may be used. However, some U.S. states and Canadian provinces prohibit their use. Check local, state and provincial laws before installing studded tires. Skid and traction capabilities of studded snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be poorer than that of non-studded snow tires. TIRE CHAINS Use of tire chains may be prohibited according to location. Check the local laws before installing tire chains. When installing tire chains, make sure they are the proper size for the tires on your vehicle and are installed according to the chain manufacturer(cid:146)s suggestions. Use only SAE class (cid:147)S(cid:148) chains. Class (cid:147)S(cid:148) chains are used on vehicles with restricted tire to vehicle clearance. Vehicles that can use Class (cid:147)S(cid:148) chains are de- signed to meet the minimum clearances between the tire and the closest vehicle suspension or body component required to accommodate the use of a winter traction device (tire chains or cables). The minimum clearances are determined using the factory equipped tire size. Other types may damage your vehicle. Use chain tensioners
when recommended by the tire chain manufac- turer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links of the tire chain must be secured or removed to prevent the possibility of whipping action damage to the fenders or underbody. If possible, avoid fully load- ing your vehicle when using tire chains. In addi- tion, drive at a reduced speed. Otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/or vehicle handling and performance may be adversely affected. Tire chains must be installed only on the rear wheels and not on the front wheels. Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving with chains in such conditions can cause damage to the various mechanisms of the vehicle due to some overstress. Use only the 2WD range when driving on clear paved roads.

The wheel nuts must be kept tight- ened to specifications at all times. It is recommended that wheel nuts be tightened to specification at each tire rotation interval.
WARNING
c After rotating the tires, check and
adjust the tire pressure.
c Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for 600 miles (1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire, etc.).
c Do not include the spare tire in
the tire rotation. c For additional

Replacing wheels and tires When replacing a tire, use the same size, tread design, speed rating and load carrying capacity as originally equipped. Recommended types and sizes are shown in (cid:147)Wheels and tires(cid:148) in the (cid:147)Technical and consumer information(cid:148) section of this manual.
WARNING
c The use of tires other than those recom- mended or the mixed use of tires of different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns can adversely affect the ride, braking, handling, ground clearance, body-to- tire clearance, tire chain clearance, speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper height. Some of these ef- fects may lead to accidents and could result in serious personal injury.
c If the wheels are changed for any rea- son, always replace with wheels which have the same off-set dimension. Wheels of a different off-set could cause premature tire wear, degrade ve- hicle handling characteristics and/or interference brake discs/drums. Such interference can lead to decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe wear.

CAUTION
Always use tires of the same type, size, brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do so may result in a circumference difference between tires on the front and rear axles which will cause excessive tire wear and may dam- age the transmission, transfer case and differential gears.
If excessive tire wear is found, it is recommended that all four tires be replaced with tires of the same size, brand, construction and tread pattern. The tire pressure and wheel alignment should also be checked and corrected as necessary. Contact a NISSAN dealer.
8-40 Maintenance and do-it-yourself
c NISSAN recommends waxing the road wheels to protect against road salt in areas where it is used during winter.
Wheel balance Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and tire life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out of balance. Therefore, they should be bal- anced as required. Wheel balance service should be per- formed with the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing the wheels on the vehicle could lead to mechanical damage. c For additional information regarding tires, refer to (cid:147)Important Tire Safety Information(cid:148) (US) or (cid:147)Tire Safety Infor- mation(cid:148) (Canada) in the Warranty In- formation Booklet .
Care of wheels c Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle
to maintain their appearance.
c Clean the inner side of the wheels when the is changed or the underside of the
wheel vehicle is washed.
c Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing
the wheels.
c Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION (without Flexible Fuel Vehicle option) Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) num- ber (Research octane number 91).
CAUTION
c Only vehicles with the E-85 filler door label can operate on E-85. Fuel system or other damage can occur if E-85 is used in vehicles that are not designed to run on E-85.
c Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control system, and may also affect the warranty coverage.
c Under no circumstances should a leaded gasoline be used, because this will damage the three-way catalyst.
c Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel can damage the fuel system components and is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle lim- ited warranty.
Gasoline specifications NISSAN recommends using gasoline that meets the World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) specifi- cations where it is available. Many of the automo- bile manufacturers developed this specification to improve emission control system and vehicle performance. Ask your service station manager if the gasoline meets the WWFC specifications. Reformulated gasoline Some fuel suppliers are now producing reformu- lated gasolines. These gasolines are specially designed to reduce vehicle emissions. NISSAN supports efforts towards cleaner air and sug- gests that you use reformulated gasoline when available. Gasoline containing oxygenates Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing oxy- genates such as ethanol, MTBE and methanol with or without advertising their presence. NISSAN does not recommend the use of fuels of which the oxygenate content and the fuel com- patibility for your NISSAN cannot be readily de- termined. If in doubt, ask your service station manager. If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline, please take the following precautions as the usage of such fuels may cause vehicle performance problems and/or fuel system damage.
c The fuel should be unleaded and have an octane rating no lower than that recommended for unleaded gasoline. c If an oxygenate-blend other than metha- nol blend is used, it should contain no more than 10% oxygenate. (MTBE may, however, be added up to 15%.)
c If a methanol blend is used, it should contain no more than 5% methanol (me- thyl alcohol, wood alcohol). It should also contain a suitable amount of appro- priate cosolvents and corrosion inhibi- tors. If not properly formulated with ap- propriate cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors, such methanol blends may cause fuel system damage and/or ve- hicle performance problems. At this time, sufficient data is not available to ensure that all methanol blends are suit- able for use in NISSAN vehicles.
oxygenate-blend
If any driveability problems such as engine stall- ing and difficult hot-starting are experienced after using immediately change to a non-oxygenate fuel or a fuel with a low blend of MTBE. Take care not to spill gasoline during refu- eling. Gasoline containing oxygenates can cause paint damage.

E(cid:150)85 fuel E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. E-85 can only be used in a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). Do not use E-85 in your vehicle. U.S. government regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing pumps to be identified by a small, square, orange and black label with the common abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for that region. Aftermarket fuel additives NISSAN does not recommend the use of any aftermarket fuel additives (for example, fuel injec- tor cleaner, octane booster, intake valve deposit removers, etc.) which are sold commercially. Many of these additives intended for gum, varnish or deposit removal may contain active solvents or similar ingredients that can be harmful to the fuel system and engine. Octane rating tips Using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than recommended can cause persistent, heavy (cid:147)spark knock.(cid:148) ((cid:147)Spark knock(cid:148) is a metallic rapping noise.) If se- vere, this can lead to engine damage. If you detect a persistent heavy spark knock even when using gasoline of the stated octane rating, or if you hear steady spark knock while holding a steady speed on level 9-4 Technical and consumer information
roads, have a NISSAN dealer correct the condition. Failure to correct the condition is misuse of the vehicle, for which NISSAN is not responsible.
ignition timing may result
Incorrect in spark knock, after-run and/or overheating, which may cause excessive fuel consumption or engine damage. If any of the above symptoms are en- countered, have your vehicle checked at a NISSAN dealer. However, now and then you may notice light spark knock for a short time while accelerating or driving up hills. This is not a cause for concern, because you get the greatest fuel benefit when there is light spark knock for a short time under heavy engine load.
CAUTION
c Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel in a vehicle not specifically designed for E-85 fuel can damage fuel system components and is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
c E-85 is a mixture of approximately 85% 15% unleaded
ethanol
and
fuel gasoline.
c U.S. government
regulations require ethanol dispensing pumps to be identi- fied by a small, square, orange and black label with the common abbrevia- tion or the appropriate percentage for that region.
FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLE (FFV) FUEL RECOMMENDATION (if so equipped) Your vehicle is designed to use (E-85) Fuel Etha- nol, (cid:147)Regular(cid:148) unleaded regular gasoline or any percentage of the two fuels combined. U.S. government regulations require Fuel Ethanol dispensing pumps to have a small, square, orange and black label with the common abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for that region.
CAUTION
Use of other fuels such as Fuel Methanol may cause powertrain damage or a loss of vehicle performance. General information This information is for Flexible Fuel vehicles (FFV) only. FFV vehicles can be identified by the fuel filler door label that states Ethanol (E-85) or Unleaded Gasoline Only. This section only covers those sub- jects that are unique to Flexible Fuel vehicles.
Z REVIEW COPY—2007 Titan (tzw) Owners Manual—USA_English (nna) 07/09/06—tbrooks X
CAUTION
Only vehicles with the E-85 filler door la- bel can operate on E-85. Fuel system or other damage can occur if E-85 is used in vehicles that are not designed to run on E-85.
Ethanol Fuel (E-85) E-85 is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel etha- nol and 15% unleaded gasoline.
WARNING
c Ethanol vapors are extremely flam- mable and could cause serious per- sonal injury.
c Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when removing the fuel filler cap or filling the tank.
c Do not use E-85 as a cleaning agent and
never use it near an open flame.
Fuel requirements
Your vehicle will operate on both unleaded regu- lar gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87
AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research oc- tane number 91), or E-85 fuel, or any mixture of these two.For the best starting and vehicle driveability re- sults, do not continually switch between E-85
and unleaded regular gasoline. If you must switch fuels, NISSAN recommends the following: c do not switch when the fuel gauge indicatesless than 1/4 full
c add more than 5 gallons of fuel c operate the vehicle immediately after refuel-
ing for a period of at least 5 minutes
NOTE: When the ambient temperature is above 90(cid:176)F (32(cid:176)C), you may experience hard start- ing and rough idle following start up even if the above recommendations are followed. Starting The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuit- able for use when ambient temperatures fall be- low 0(cid:176)F (-18(cid:176)C). In the range of 0(cid:176)F (-18(cid:176)C) to 32(cid:176)F (0(cid:176)C), you may experience an increase in the time it takes for you engine to start, and a deterioration in drivability (sags and/or hesita- tions) until the engine is fully warmed up.
Fuel consumption Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gal- lon than gasoline, you will experience an increase in fuel consumption. You can expect your fuel mileage to decrease by about 30% compared to gasoline operation. Replacement parts Many components in your Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) are designed to be compatible with etha- nol. Always be sure that your vehicle is serviced with correct ethanol compatible parts.
CAUTION
Replacing fuel system components with non-ethanol compatible components can damage your vehicle and may also affect the warranty coverage.
Maintenance If you operate your vehicle using E-85 fuel, follow the correct maintenance log shown in the (cid:147)NISSAN Service and Maintenance Guide(cid:148).
CAUTION
Do not use ethanol mixture greater than 85% in your vehicle. It will cause difficulty in cold starting and may affect drivability.

Oil viscosity The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes with temperature. Because of this, it is important to select the engine oil viscosity based on the temperatures at which the vehicle will be oper- ated before the next oil change. Choosing an oil viscosity other than that recommended could cause serious engine damage. Selecting the correct oil filter Your new NISSAN vehicle is equipped with a high-quality genuine NISSAN oil filter. When re- placing, use a genuine NISSAN oil filter or its equivalent for the reason described in (cid:147)Change intervals(cid:148). Change intervals The oil and oil filter change intervals for your engine are based on the use of the specified quality oils and filters. Using engine oil and filters that are not of the specified quality, or exceeding recommended oil and filter change intervals could reduce engine life. Damage to the engine caused by improper maintenance or use of incor- rect oil and filter quality and/or viscosity is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited war- ranty.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER RECOMMENDATION Selecting the correct oil It is essential to choose the correct grade, quality and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactory engine life and performance. See 9Capacities and recommended fuel/lubricants9 earlier in this section. NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conserving oil in order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification or Interna- tional Lubricant Standardization and Approval 9-6 Technical and consumer information
WTI0183
Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE vis- cosity standard. These oils have the API certifica- tion mark on the front of the container. Oils which do not have the specified quality label should not be used as they could cause engine damage. Oil additives NISSAN does not recommend the use of oil additives. The use of an oil additive is not neces- sary when the proper oil type is used and main- tenance intervals are followed.Oil which may contain foreign matter or has been previously used should not be used.
Z REVIEW COPY—2007 Titan (tzw) Owners Manual—USA_English (nna) 07/09/06—tbrooks X
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil will cause severe damage to the air condition- ing system and will require the replace- ment of all air conditioner system components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your NISSAN vehicle does not harm the earth(cid:146)s ozone layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect the earth(cid:146)s atmosphere, certain government regula- tions require the recovery and recycling of any refrigerant during automotive air conditioner sys- tem service. A NISSAN dealer has the trained technicians and equipment needed to recover and recycle your air conditioner system refriger- ant. Contact a NISSAN dealer when servicing your air conditioner system.
Your engine was filled with a high-quality engine oil when it was built. You do not have to change the oil before the first recommended change interval. Oil and filter change intervals depend upon how you use your vehicle.
Operation under the following conditions may require more frequent oil and filter changes: c repeated short distance driving at cold out-
side temperatures
c driving in dusty conditions c extensive idling c towing a trailer c stop and go commuting Refer to the 9NISSAN Service and Maintenance Guide9 for the maintenance schedule. AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM REFRIGERANT AND OIL RECOMMENDATIONS The air conditioner system in your NISSAN vehicle must be charged with the refriger- ant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the oil, NISSAN A/C system oil Type S or the exact equiva- lents.

Steps for determining correct load limit 1. Locate the statement (cid:147)The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs(cid:148) on your vehicle(cid:146)s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the avail- able amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the XXX amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail- able cargo and luggage load capac- ity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 X 150) = 650 lbs) or (640-340 (5 X 70) = 300 kg.)

c 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.
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be trans- ferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this re- duces the available cargo and lug- gage load capacity of your vehicle.

c Overloading not only can shorten the life of your vehicle and the tire, but can also cause unsafe vehicle handling and longer brak- ing distances. This may cause a premature tire failure which could result in a serious accident and personal injury. Failures caused by overloading are not covered vehicle(cid:146)s warranty.

WARNING
c Properly 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 colli- sion, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
c 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 oc- cur, or it can change the way your vehicle handles. This could result in loss of control and cause per- sonal injury.
Install the channels end stoppers as follows:
1. Remove the channel protectors by sliding them out the back of the truck bed. Properly store the channel protectors.
2. Loosen the bolt on the center of the end stopper with the provided wrench and insert it into the channel.
3. Position the end stopper to the desired lo- cation on the channel so the nubs on the bottom of the end stopper fully seat into the channel detents.
4. Tighten the bolt on the center of the end
stopper with the provided wrench.
LOADING TIPS c The GVW must not exceed GVWR or GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
c Do not load the front and rear axle to the GAWR. Doing so will exceed the GVWR.

TRUCK-CAMPER LOADING INFORMATION
CREW CAB MODELS Crew Cab models should not be used to carry a slide-in camper. KING CAB MODELS This information is provided for you to properly install a slide-in camper and is based on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regulations. It is recommended that, before in- stalling the camper, you carefully read the follow- ing information and ensure that the camper meets the specifications. This information may not apply to some Canada model vehicles. SPECIAL BODY VEHICLES Some vehicles are equipped with commercial or camper bodies. However, this Owner(cid:146)s Manual does not cover these options. For further infor- mation, please refer to the body manufacturer(cid:146)s instruction manual.

LOCATION FOR CENTER OF GRAVITY The illustration indicates the recommended cargo center of gravity location. King Cab: L1 = 1115.7 mm (43.9 in)
WARNING
Improper loading may be dangerous. If a load is too far back, it can affect handling characteristics. If a load is too far forward, the front axle may be overloaded.
LTI0129
When the truck is used to carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load of the truck consists of the camper manufacturer(cid:146)s weight figure, plus: c the weight of installed additional camper included in the camperequipment not manufacturer(cid:146)s weight figure, c the weight of camper cargo, c and the weight of occupants in the camper. The total cargo load should not exceed the truck(cid:146)s pay load weight rating and the camper(cid:146)s center of gravity should fall within the truck(cid:146)s recommended center of gravity location when installed.

loads. Individual axle loads should not ex- ceed either of the gross axle weight rat- ings (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 can ad- versely affect vehicle handling, braking and performance and may lead to accidents. PAYLOAD WEIGHT CAPACITY The vehicle payload weight capacity shown on the Tire and Loading Information label, see (cid:147)Tire and Loading Information label(cid:148) in this section, indicates the maximum total weight of passen- gers, optional equipment (air conditioning, trailer hitch, etc) and cargo that your vehicle is designed to carry. 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 (cid:146)(cid:146)Vehicle Loading Information(cid:146)(cid:146) earlier in this section for details. Also check tires for proper inflation pressures. See the Tire and Loading Information label. 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 separately to determine axle 9-24 Technical and consumer information
TOWING A TRAILER
WARNING
Overloading or improper loading of a trailer and its cargo can adversely affect vehicle handling, braking and perfor- mance and may lead to accidents.
CAUTION
c 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.
c 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 pri- marily to carry passengers and cargo. Remember that towing a trailer places additional loads on your vehicle(cid:146)s engine, drive train, steering, brak- ing and other systems. A NISSAN Towing Guide (U.S. only) is available on the website at www.nissanusa.com. This guide includes information on trailer towing ca- pability and the special equipment required for proper towing.

MAXIMUM LOAD LIMITS Maximum trailer loads Never allow the total trailer load to exceed the value (cid:147)Towing Load/Specification(cid:148) chart found later in this sec- tion. The total trailer load equals trailer weight plus its cargo weight. c When towing a trailer load of 3,500 lbs. (1587 kg) or more, trailers with a brake system MUST be used.

The maximum GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) should not exceed the value specified in the following (cid:147)Towing Load/Specification(cid:148) chart.
LTI0161
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 adversely 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 appro- priate for level highway driving may have to be reduced 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 engine protection mode, which helps reduce the chance of engine damage, could activate and automati- cally decrease engine power. Vehicle speed may decrease under high load. Plan your trip carefully to account for trailer and vehicle load, weather 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 col- lision. Be especially careful when driving. Pull to the side of the road to a safe area. Allow the engine to cool and return to normal operation. See (cid:147)If your vehicle overheats(cid:148) in the (cid:147)In case of emergency(cid:148) section of this manual.
CAUTION
Vehicle damage resulting from improper towing procedures is not covered by NISSAN warranties.
