which the tire should turn. When rotating this type of
tire, care must be taken to maintain the proper turning
direction as indicated by the arrows. Some vehicles
have different tire sizes specified for front and rear axles.
Tires on these vehicles should not be rotated side to
side (unless they are non-directional) . Where a tempo-
rary type spare tire is available, it should not be included
in the tire rotation schedule. Such tires are intended for
temporary use only.
REPLACING TWO TIRES
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 acci-
dent and personal injury.
TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire
dealer for advice concerning the correct size of tire and
pressure. Tire size and pressure will depend on the type
and size of the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case
must the maximum cold inflation pressure or the tire load
rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and your
OWNER’S MANUAL for further recommendations on
trailer towing.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations
may prevent proper performance, leading to tire dam-
age, which can result in an accident. Tires which be-
come unserviceable due to alterations such as truing,
whitewall inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids,
may be excluded from warranty coverage. Consult your
tire warranty.
HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE
TIRES
1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Nissanvehicle is designed for temporary use only and
must not be used continually as a regular tire.
The standard tire should be repaired and/or
replaced as soon as possible.
2) Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire through impact or cutting, such as
potholes, glass, metal, etc.
3) Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h) for non-speed-rated temporary spare tires.
4) Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife which can vary depending on road conditions
and your driving habits. The spare tire should
be returned to the trunk as soon as the stan-
dard tire can be repaired or replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was spe- cifically designed for your car, it should not be
used on any other vehicle. 6) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure
spare. This could cause damage to your
vehicle.
7) Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm2) even when
not in use.
8) The high-pressure spare tire should not be used with any other rim nor should standard
tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used on
the high-pressure spare tire rim which was
originally installed.
9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire, replace it only with the same type spare
tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a tem- porary spare tire fitted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a high-pressure tem-
porary spare.
Note: When using any temporary type spare
tire, be sure to follow the vehicle OWN-
ER’S MANUAL instructions.

TIRE STORAGE
All tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so
that there is no danger of water collecting inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool
place away from sources of heat and ozone such as hot
pipes and electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on
which tires are stored are clean and free from grease,
gasoline or other substances which could deteriorate
the rubber. (Tires exposed to these materials during
storage or driving could be subject to sudden failure.)
To Avoid Damage to your Tires and Possible
Accident:
●Check tire pressure at least once a month when
tires are cold and before long trips.
● Do not underinflate/overinflate.
● Do not overload.
● Drive at moderate speeds, observe legal limits.
● Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles, curbs or
edges of pavement.
● Avoid excessive wheel spinning.
● If you see any damage to a tire, replace with
spare and see the tire manufacturer’s dealer or
your Nissan dealership.

In order to help protect your vehicle against corrosion, it
is important that you care for your vehicle regularly,
following these suggestions:
Wash your vehicle regularly using cold clean water
and a mild vehicle wash soap.
If insects, tar or other similar deposits have accumu-
lated on your vehicle, wash it as soon as possible.
If you drive on salted or dust controlled roads, or if
you drive near the ocean, hose off the under carriage
at least once a month.
It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges
of the doors and rocker panels be kept clear.
If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the
paint, touch them up immediately.
If you do much driving on gravel roads, consider
installing mud or stone shields behind each wheel.
If your Nissan is damaged due to an accident or
similar cause which destroys the paint and protec-
tive coating, have your vehicle repaired as soon as
possible. The cost of such repairs is considered the
responsibility of the owner.
This corrosion warranty does not cover non-genuine
sheet metal parts or damage caused by the installa-
tion of such non-genuine sheet metal parts.
SEE YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL FOR FURTHER DE-
TAILS.
