AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS

The air conditioning system in your
NISSAN vehicle must be charged with the
refrigerant, HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf), and
the

compressor

oil,

ND-OIL11

equivalent.

CAUTION

The use of any other refrigerant or oil
will cause severe damage to the air
conditioning system and will require
the replacement of all air conditioner

system components.

The refrigerant, HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf), in
your NISSAN vehicle will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. Although this refriger-
ant does not affect the earth’s atmo-
sphere, certain governmental regulations
require the recovery and recycling of any
refrigerant during automotive air condi-
tioning system service. Air conditioner sys-
tem should only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians to ensure proper and
safe operation (SAE J2845). A NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealer has the trained techni-
cians and equipment needed to recover
and recycle your air conditioning system
refrigerant. Only new and SAE J2842 certi-
fied evaporator(s) or inner condenser (if so
equipped) shall be used as replacement
parts.

A damaged or leaking air conditioning
evaporator or inner condenser (if so
equipped) shall never be repaired or re-
placed with one removed from a used or
salvaged vehicle. To replace a damaged or
leaking evaporator or inner condenser (if
so equipped), use only new and SAE J2842
certified evaporator(s). It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
when

servicing

your

air

conditioner

system.

When planning to travel in another coun-
try,

you should first find out if the charging

equipment is compatible with that coun-
try's electrical system.

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
safety standards vary according to the
country, state, province or district; there-
fore, vehicle specifications may differ.

When any vehicle is to be taken into an-
other country, state, province or district
and registered, its modifications, trans-
portation, and registration are the re-
sponsibility of the user. NISSAN is not re-
sponsible for any inconvenience that
may result.

WARNING

•

It is extremely dangerous to ride
in the cargo area inside the ve-
hicle. 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 your 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 and optional equipment,
fluids and emergency tools. This
weight

does not

include passen-

gers and cargo.

• GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb

weight plus the combined weight
of passengers and cargo.

• GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-

ing) - maximum total combined
weight of the unloaded vehicle,
passengers, cargo, hitch, trailer
tongue load and any other op-
tional equipment. This information
is

located

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 information 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, pas-
sengers, cargo, and trailer.

• Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit,

Total load capacity - maximum to-
tal weight limit specified of the load
(passengers and cargo) for the ve-
hicle. This is the maximum com-
bined 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 included as part of the
cargo load. This information is lo-
cated on the Tire and Loading In-
formation label.

• Cargo

capacity

permissible

weight of cargo, the subtracted
weight of occupants from the load
limit.

VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION

Technical and consumer information

10-11

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY

Before driving a loaded vehicle, con-
firm that you do not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for your vehicle. Both the
GVWR and GAWR are located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
For additional information, see “Mea-
surement of weights” (P. 10-14).

Do not exceed the load limit of your
vehicle shown as “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo” on
the Tire and Loading Information la-
bel. Do not exceed the number of
occupants shown as “Seating Ca-
pacity” on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label.

To get “the combined weight of oc-
cupants and cargo”, add the weight
of all occupants, then add the total
cargo weight. Examples are shown
in the following illustration.

Steps For Determining Correct
Load Limit

1. Locate the statement “The com-

bined 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.

LTI2366

10-12

Technical and consumer information

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Subtract the combined weight of

the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.

4. The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For ex-
ample, 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.)

5. Determine the combined weight

luggage

and

cargo

being

loaded on the vehicle. That weight
may not safely exceed the avail-
able cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity calculated in Step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a

trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Con-
sult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle.

Towing a trailer with a vehicle that is
not intended for towing may result in
an accident involving injury or death.

WARNING

Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.
Towing a trailer may result in an acci-
dent involving injury or death.

Before driving a loaded vehicle, con-
firm that you do not exceed the
(GVWR) or the (GAWR) for your ve-
hicle. For additional information, see
“Measurement of weights” (P. 10-14).

Also check tires for proper inflation
pressures. For additional informa-
tion, see “Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label” (P. 10-9).

LOADING TIPS

• The GVW must not exceed the

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 with
ropes or straps to help prevent
it from sliding or shifting. Do
not place cargo higher than the
seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision,

unsecured

cargo

could cause personal injury.
