If you plan to travel 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
must be operated with unleaded gasoline.
Therefore, avoid taking your vehicle to areas
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 district
and registered, its modifications, transpor-
tation, and registration are the responsi-
b i l i t y o f t h e u s e r . N I S S A N i s n o t
responsible for any inconvenience that
may result.

WARNING

.

It is extremely dangerous to
ride in a cargo area inside the
vehicle. 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 ve-
hicle is in a seat and using a
seat belt properly.

TERMS

It is important to familiarize yourself with
the following terms before loading your
vehicle:

.

Curb Weight (actual weight of your
vehicle) - vehicle weight including:
standard equipment, fluids, emer-
gency tools, and spare tire assembly.

This weight does not include pas-
sengers and cargo.

.

GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb
weight plus the combined weight of
optional equipment, passengers and
cargo.

.

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing) - maximum total combined
weight of the unloaded vehicle, pas-
sengers, luggage, hitch, trailer tongue
load and any other optional equip-
ment. This information is located on
the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.

.

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -
maximum 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. label.

.

GCWR (Gross Combined Weight
Rating) - The maximum total weight
rating of the vehicle, passengers,
cargo, and trailer.

.

Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit,
Total load capacity - maximum total
weight limit specified of the load

(passengers and cargo) for the vehi-
cle. This is the maximum combined
weight of occupants and cargo that
can be loaded into the vehicle. If the
vehicle is used to tow a trailer, the
trailer tongue weight must be in-
cluded as part of the cargo load. This
information is located on the Tire and
Loading Information label.

.

Cargo capacity - permissible weight
of cargo, the weight of total occu-
pants weight subtracted from the
load limit.

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY

Do not exceed the load limit of your
vehicle shown as “The combined weight
of occupants and cargo” on the Tire and
Loading Information label. Do not exceed
the number of occupants shown as
“Seating Capacity” on the Tire and
Loading Information label.

To get “the combined weight of occu-
pants and cargo”, add the weight of all
occupants, then add the total luggage
weight. Examples are shown in the
illustration.

Steps for determining correct load limit

1. Locate the statement “The combined

weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX kg or XXX
lbs” on your vehicle’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 available cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400

− 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs or

640

− 340 (5 x 70) = 300 kg.)

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.

6. 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.

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 “Measurement of weights”
(P.10-20).)

Also check tires for proper inflation
pressures. See the Tire and Loading
Information label.

LOADING TIPS

.

The GVW must not exceed GVWR or
GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.S.
S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.

.

Do not load the front and rear axle to
the GAWR. Doing so will exceed the
GVWR.

WARNING

.

Properly secure all cargo to
help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a
sudden stop or collision, un-
secured cargo could cause
personal injury.

.

Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR or the
m a x i m u m f r o n t a n d r e a r

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 per-
sonal injury.

.

Overloading could not only
shorten the life of your vehicle
and the tires, but also could
lead to hazardous vehicle
handling and long braking dis-
tance. This may cause a pre-
mature tire malfunction, which
could result in a serious acci-
dent and personal injury. Fail-
ures caused by overloading
are not covered by the vehi-
cle
s warranty.

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 loads. Individual axle loads should
not exceed either of the gross axle
weight ratings (GAWR). The total of the
axle loads should not exceed the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR). These
ratings are given on the vehicle certifica-
tion label. If weight ratings are exceeded,
move or remove items to bring all
weights below the ratings.

Model: 2017MY NISSAN 370Z(Z34) OM17E00Z34U0 ]

Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground is sometimes called flat towing. This
method is sometimes used when towing a
vehicle behind a recreational vehicle, such as a
motor home.

CAUTION

.

Failure to follow these guidelines
can result in severe transmission
damage.

.

Whenever flat towing your vehicle,
always tow forward, never back-
ward.

.

DO NOT tow any automatic trans-
mission vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground (flat towing). Doing
so WILL DAMAGE internal transmis-
sion parts due to lack of transmis-
sion lubrication.

.

For emergency towing procedures
refer to “Towing recommended by
NISSAN (except for NISMO mod-
els)” (P.6-20) of this manual.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

To tow a vehicle equipped with an automatic
transmission, an appropriate vehicle dolly MUST
be placed under the towed vehicle’s drive
wheels. Always follow the dolly manufacturer’s
recommendations when using their product.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION

.

Always tow with the manual transmission in
Neutral.

.

Your vehicle speed should never exceed 70
MPH (112 km/h) when flat towing your
vehicle.

.

After towing 500 miles, start and idle the
engine with the transmission in Neutral for
two minutes. Failure to idle the engine after
every 500 miles of towing may cause
damage to the transmission’s internal parts.

DOT (Department Of Transportation) Quality
Grades: All passenger car tires must conform to
federal safety requirements in addition to these
grades.

Quality grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width. For example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

TREADWEAR

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1
1/2) times as well on the government course as
a tire graded 100. The relative performance of
tires depends upon actual conditions of their
use, however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road char-
acteristics and climate.

TRACTION AA, A, B AND C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the
tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on spe-
cified government test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not include
acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.

TEMPERATURE A, B AND C

The temperature grades A (the highest), B, and
C, representing the tire’s resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sus-
tained high temperature can cause the material
of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire
failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent
higher levels of performance on the laboratory
test wheel than the minimum required by law.

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, under-inflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat build-up and
possible tire failure.

Due to legal requirements in some states and
Canadian Provinces, your vehicle may be
required to be in what is called the “ready
condition” for an Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
test of the emission control system.

The vehicle is set to the “ready condition” when
it is driven through certain driving patterns.
Usually, the “ready condition” can be obtained
by ordinary usage of the vehicle.

If a powertrain system component is repaired or
the battery is disconnected, the vehicle may be
reset to a “not ready condition”. Before taking
the I/M test, check the vehicle’s inspection/
maintenance test readiness condition. Place the
ignition switch in the ON position without
starting the engine. If the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) comes on steady for 20 seconds and
then blinks for 10 seconds, the I/M test
condition is “not ready”. If the MIL does not
blink after 20 seconds, the I/M test condition is
“ready”.

It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer to
set the “ready condition” or to prepare the
vehicle for testing.

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:

.

How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;

.

Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;

.

How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,

.

How fast the vehicle was traveling.

.

Sounds are not recorded.

These data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are
recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial
crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g. name, gender, age and crash
location) are recorded. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally identifying

data routinely acquired during a crash investiga-
tion.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required and access to the vehicle
or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer and NISSAN dealer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
