Payload and replacement tire

Your vehicle is equipped with special high load
index 92 tires to carry a payload of up to
1,058 lbs (480 kg) as indicated on your Tire and
Loading Information label. Some aftermarket re-
placement tires may have lower load index rat-
ings. While NISSAN does not encourage you to
do so, please note that if you choose to purchase
a tire with a lower load index rating, the max
payload capacity of your vehicle will be reduced.

Please refer to replacement tire manufacturer
usage recommendations and tire pressures.

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.

6. Install the valve stem cap.

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.

䊊

Tire size (example: P215/65R15 95H)

1. P: The “P” 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’s ratio of height to width.

4. R: The “R” 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’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.

7. H: Tire speed rating. You should not

drive the vehicle faster than the tire
speed rating.

ment Of Transportation”. The symbol
can be placed above, below or to the
left or right of the Tire Identification
Number.

2. Two-digit

code:

Manufacturer’s

identification mark.

3. Two-digit code: Tire size.

4. Three-digit code: Tire type code

(Optional).

5. Four numbers represent the week

and year the tire was built. For ex-
ample, the numbers 3103 means the
31st week of 2003. If these numbers
are missing then look on the other
sidewall of the tire.

䊊

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.

䊊

Maximum permissible inflation pressure

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.

䊊

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.

䊊

Term of “tubeless” or “tube type”

Indicates whether the tire requires an in-
ner tube (“tube type”) or not (“tubeless”).

䊊

The word “radial”

The word “radial” is shown if the tire has
radial structure.

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

● 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.

● 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.

● Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by NISSAN could affect the
proper operation of the low tire pres-
sure warning system.

● For additional information regarding

tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety In-
formation” in the Warranty Information
Booklet.

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 “M&S” 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. If you do not, 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
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

CAUTION

Do not use tire chains/cables on this ve-
hicle. Doing so will cause damage to the
vehicle.

CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES

Tire rotation

NISSAN recommends rotating the tires
every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).

For additional information, refer to “Flat
tire” in the “In case of emergency” section
of this manual for tire replacing proce-
dures.

As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

83 ft-lb (113 N·m)

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.

After rotating the tires, adjust the tire
pressure to the cold tire pressure specifi-
cation shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Checking tire pressure” in
the “Do-it-yourself” section and “Tire and
Loading Information label” in the “Techni-
cal and consumer information” section of
this manual.

Do-it-yourself

WARNING

● After rotating the tires, check and

adjust the tire pressure.

● Retighten the wheel nuts when

the vehicle has been driven for
600 miles (1,000 km) (also in
cases of a flat tire, etc.).

● For additional information re-

garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” in the
Warranty Information Booklet.

Tire wear and damage

1. Wear indicator

2. Location mark

WARNING

● Tires should be periodically in-

spected for wear, cracking, bulg-
ing or objects caught in the tread.
If excessive wear, cracks, bulging
or deep cuts are found, the tire(s)
should be replaced.

● The original tires have built-in

tread wear indicators. When the
wear indicators are visible, the
tire(s) should be replaced.

● Tires degrade with age and use.

Have tires, including the spare,
over 6 years old checked by a
qualified

technician

because

some tire damage may not be ob-
vious. Replace the tires as neces-
sary to prevent tire failure and
possible personal injury.

● Improper service of the spare tire

may result in serious personal in-
jury. If it is necessary to repair the
spare tire, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

● For additional information re-

garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” or in the

Replacing wheels and tires

When replacing a tire, use the same size, tread
design, speed rating and load carrying capacity
as originally equipped. For additional information,
refer to “Wheels and tires” in the “Technical and
consumer information” section of this manual.

WARNING

● 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,

Vehicle

Dynamic

Control

(VDC) system, 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.

● If your vehicle was originally equipped

with four tires that were the same size
and you are only replacing two of the
four tires, install the new tires on the
rear axle. Placing new tires on the front
axle may cause loss of vehicle control in
some driving conditions and cause an
accident and personal injury

● 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, affect the
VDC system and/or interference with
the brake discs. Such interference can
lead to decreased braking efficiency
and/or early brake pad wear. For addi-
tional information on wheel off-set di-
mensions, refer to “Wheels and tires” in
the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.

● Since the spare tire is not equipped with

the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted
or a wheel is replaced, tire pressure will
not be indicated, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately
1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. Have your tires replaced
and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

● Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by NISSAN could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.

● The TPMS sensor may be damaged if it

is not handled correctly. Be careful
when handling the TPMS sensor.

● When replacing the TPMS sensor, the

ID registration may be required. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for ID registration.

● Do not use a valve stem cap that is not

specified by NISSAN. The valve stem
cap may become stuck.

● Be sure that the valve stem caps are

correctly fitted. Otherwise the valve may
be clogged up with dirt and cause a
malfunction or loss of pressure.

● Do not install a damaged or deformed

wheel or tire even if it has been re-
paired. Such wheels or tires could have
structural damage and could fail with-
out warning.

● The use of retread tires is not

recommended.

● For additional information regarding

tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety In-
formation” (US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet.

Do-it-yourself

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.

● For additional information regarding

tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety
Information” in the Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet.

Care of wheels

● Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle

to maintain their appearance.

● Clean the inner side of the wheels when the

wheel is changed or the underside of the
vehicle is washed.

● Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing

the wheels.

● Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or

corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of
pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.

● NISSAN recommends waxing the road

wheels to protect against road salt in areas
where it is used during winter.

Emergency tire puncture repair kit

The emergency tire puncture repair kit (Emer-
gency Tire Sealant) is supplied with the vehicle
instead of a spare tire. It can be used to tempo-
rarily repair minor tire punctures.

If possible, have the vehicle towed to a facility that
can repair or replace the flat tire. Using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit may cause a mal-
function of the tire pressure sensor and cause the
low tire pressure warning light to illuminate.

For additional information, refer to “Flat tire” in the
“In case of emergency” section of this manual.

the wipers do not streak.

Under the hood and vehicle

The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically (for example, each time you
check the engine oil or refuel).

Battery*: Check the fluid level in each cell. The
fluid should be at the bottom of the filler opening.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under
severe conditions require frequent checks of the
battery fluid level.

NOTE:

Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:

1. Installation or extended use of electronic

accessories that consume battery power
when the engine is not running (Phone
chargers, GPS, DVD players, etc.).

2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or

only driven short distances.

In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.

Brake fluid level*: Make sure that the brake
fluid level is between the MAX and MIN lines on
the reservoir.

Engine coolant level*: Check the coolant level
when the engine is cold.

Engine drive belts*: Make sure the drive belts
are not frayed, worn, cracked or oily.

Engine oil level*: Check the level after parking
the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the
engine. Wait more than 15 minutes for the oil to
drain back into the oil pan.

Exhaust system:

Make sure there are no loose

supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the ex-
haust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust

fumes, immediately have the exhaust system in-
spected. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. For additional information,
refer to “Exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this manual.

Fluid leaks: Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil,
water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has been
parked for a while. Water dripping from the air
conditioner after use is normal. If you should notice
any leaks or if fuel fumes are evident, check for the
cause and have it corrected immediately.

Radiator and hoses: Check the front of the
radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves,
etc., that may have accumulated. Make sure the
hoses have no cracks, deformation, rot or loose
connections.

Underbody: The underbody is frequently ex-
posed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very
important to remove these substances, other-
wise rust may form on the floor pan, frame, fuel
lines and around the exhaust system. At the end
of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean
those areas where mud and dirt may accumulate.
For additional information, refer to the “Appear-
ance and care” section of this manual.

Windshield-washer fluid*: Check that there is
adequate fluid in the reservoir.
