of emergency” section.
TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Periodically check the tyre pressure (including the
spare tyre). An incorrect tyre pressure may ad-
versely affect tyre life and vehicle handling.
NOTE
Incorrectly inflated tyres can also lead to poor
steering ability and make the driver suspect a
steering problem: keep the vehicle’s tyres in-
flated to the correct pressure at all times.
The tyre pressure should be checked when tyres
are COLD. Tyres are considered COLD after the
vehicle has been parked for three or more hours, or
driven less than 1.6 km (1 mile). COLD tyre pres-
sures are shown on the tyre placard affixed to the
driver’s side centre pillar.
Insufficient pressure can lead to an overheating of
the tyre and subsequent internal damage. At high
speeds, this could result in tread separation and
even bursting of the tyre.
TYPES OF TYRES
CAUTION
•When changing or replacing tyres, be sure all
four tyres are of the same type (i.e., summer,
all season or snow) and construction.
•A NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop may
be able to help you with information about
tyre type, size, speed rating and availability.
•Replacement tyres may have a lower speed
rating than the factory equipped tyres, and
may not match the potential maximum vehicle
speed. Never exceed the maximum speed rat-
ing of the tyre.
All season tyres
NISSAN specifies all season tyres on some models
to provide good performance for use all year around,
including snowy and icy road conditions. All season
tyres are identified by ALL SEASON and/or M&S
on the tyre sidewall. Snow tyres have better snow
traction than all season tyres and may be more ap-
propriate in some areas.
Summer tyres
NISSAN specifies summer tyres as standard fit.
These tyres provide superior performance under
typical mild weather conditions.
If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy or icy
conditions, NISSAN recommends the use of SNOW
or ALL SEASON tyres on all four wheels.
Snow tyres
If snow tyres are needed, it is necessary to select
tyres equivalent in size and load rating to the original
equipment tyres. If you do not, it can adversely af-
fect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
Generally, snow tyres will have lower speed ratings
than factory equipped tyres and may not match the
potential maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed the
maximum speed rating of the tyre.
For additional traction on icy roads, studded tyres
WHEELS AND TYRES
Maintenance and do-it-yourself8-29

may be used. However, some provinces and states
prohibit their use. Check local, state and provincial
laws before installing studded tyres. Skid and trac-
tion capabilities of studded snow tyres, on wet or
dry surfaces, may be poorer than that of non-stud-
ded snow tyres.
SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains may be prohibited in some ar-
eas. Check the local laws before installing snow
chains. When installing snow chains, make sure they
are of proper size for the tyres on your vehicle and
are installed according to the chain manufacturer’s
suggestions. Use chain tensioners when recom-
mended by the snow chain manufacturer to ensure
a tight fit. Loose end links of the snow chain must be
secured or removed to prevent the possibility of
whipping action damage to the fenders or undercar-
riage.
In addition, drive at a reduced speed. Otherwise,
your vehicle can be damaged and/or vehicle han-
dling and performance may be adversely affected.
Snow chains must be installed only on the front
wheels and not on the rear wheels.
CAUTION
Do not drive with snow chains on paved roads
which are clear of snow. Driving with chains in
such conditions can cause damage to the vari-
ous mechanisms of the vehicle due to some
overstress.
•Never install snow chains on a small size spare
tyre.
•Never install snow chains on a temporary-use
spare tyre.
•Do not drive with snow chains on paved roads
which are clear of snow. Driving with chains in
such conditions can cause damage to the
various mechanisms of the vehicle due to
some overstress.
TYRE ROTATION
NISSAN recommends that tyres be rotated every
10,000 km (6,000 miles).
See “Flat tyre” in the “6. In case of emergency” sec-
tion for tyre replacing procedures.
WARNING
•After rotating the tyres, adjust the tyre pres-
sure.
•Retighten the wheel bolts when the vehicle
has been driven for the first 1,000 km (600
miles) (also in cases of a flat tyre, etc.).
•Do not include the temporary-use spare tyre
in the tyre rotation.
•Incorrect tyre selection, fitting, care or main-
tenance can affect vehicle safety with risk of
accident and injury. If in doubt, consult a
NISSAN dealer or the tyre manufacturer.
TYRE WEAR AND DAMAGE
Tyres should be periodically inspected for wear,
cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. If
excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are
found, the tyre should be replaced.
The original tyres have a built-in tread wear indica-
tor
j1 . When the wear indicator is visible, the tyre
should be replaced.
The wear indicator locations are indicated by the
location marks
j2.
