TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with TPMS. It moni-
tors tire pressure of all tires except the
spare. When the low tire pressure warning
light is lit, and the “Tire Pressure Low — Add
Air” (“Flat Tire — Visit Dealer” for vehicles
equipped with run-flat tires) warning ap-
pears in the vehicle information display,
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. If equipped, the system also
displays pressure of all tires (except the
spare tire) on the display screen by sending
a signal from a sensor that is installed in
each wheel. If the vehicle is being driven
with low tire pressure, the TPMS will acti-
vate and warn you of it by the low tire pres-
sure warning light. This system will activate
only when the vehicle is driven at speeds
above 16 mph (25 km/h). For additional in-
formation, refer to “Warning lights, indicator
lights and audible reminders” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section and “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
WARNING
∙Radio waves could adversely affect elec-
tric medical equipment. Those who use
a pacemaker should contact the electric
medical equipment manufacturer for
the possible influences before use.
∙If the low tire pressure warning light il-
luminates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage
the tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal in-
jury. Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the rec-
ommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information la-
bel to turn the low tire pressure warning
light OFF. If the light still illuminates
while driving af ter adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat or the TPMS
may be malfunctioning. If you have a
flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as
soon as possible. If no tire is flat and all
tires are properly inflated, have the ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
∙ When replacing a wheel without TPMS
such as the spare tire, TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain
on af ter 1 minute. Have your tires re-
placed and/or TPMS system reset as
soon as possible. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
these services.
∙ Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
∙ Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-
sure sensors.
RUN-FLAT TIRES (if so equipped)
Run-flat tires are those tires that can be
used temporarily if they are punctured. For
additional information, refer to “Run-flat
tires” in the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.
For additional information, refer to the tire
safety information in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.

WARNING
∙ Although you can continue drivingwith a punctured run-flat tire, remem-
ber that vehicle handling stability is
reduced, which could lead to an acci-
dent and personal injury. Also, driving
a long distance at high speeds may
damage the tires.
∙ Do not drive at speeds above 50 mph (80 km/h) and do not drive more than
approximately 93 miles (150 km) with
a punctured run-flat tire. The actual
distance the vehicle can be driven on
a flat tire depends on outside tem-
perature, vehicle load, road conditions
and other factors.
∙ Drive safely at reduced speeds. Avoid hard cornering or braking, which may
cause you to lose control of the
vehicle.
∙ If you detect any unusual sounds or vibrations while driving with a punc-
tured run-flat tire, pull off the road to a
safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. The tire may be seri-
ously damaged and need to be
replaced.
CAUTION
∙ Never install tire chains on a punc-tured run-flat tire, as this could dam-
age your vehicle.
∙ Avoid diving over any projection or pothole, as the clearance between the
vehicle and the ground is smaller than
normal.
∙ Do not enter an automated car wash with a punctured run-flat tire.
∙ Have the punctured tire inspected by a NISSAN dealer or other authorized
repair shop. Replace the tire as soon
as possible if the tire is seriously
damaged.
CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions
below:
Stopping the vehicle
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and
away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
3. Park on a level surface and apply the parking brake. Move the shif t lever to P
(Park). 4. Turn off the engine.
5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic
and to signal professional road assis-
tance personnel that you need assis-
tance.
6. Have all passengers get out of the ve- hicle and stand in a safe place, away
from traffic and clear of the vehicle.
WARNING
∙ Make sure the parking brake is se-curely applied and the shif t lever is
shif ted into P (Park).
∙ Never change tires when the vehicle is on a slope, ice or slippery areas. This is
hazardous.
∙ Never change tires if oncoming traffic is close to your vehicle. Wait for pro-
fessional road assistance.

ing the spare tire clamp.
WARNING
∙ Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel nuts can cause the
wheel to become loose or come off.
This could cause an accident. ∙ Do not use oil or grease on the wheel
studs or nuts. This could cause the
nuts to become loose.
∙ Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for 600 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel
nuts to the specified torque with a
torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque: 83 f t-lb (113 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened
to specification at all times. It is recom-
mended that wheel nuts be tightened to
specifications at each lubrication inter-
val.
Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pres-
sure.
COLD pressure: Af ter vehicle has been
parked for 3 hours or more or driven less
than 1 mile (1.6 km).
COLD tire pressures are shown on the tire
and loading information label affixed to
the driver side center pillar. To start your engine with a booster battery,
the instructions and precautions below
must be followed.
