HEADLIGHTS
Replacing the halogen headlight bulb
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type which
uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb. A bulb
can be replaced from inside the engine compart-
ment without removing the headlight assembly.
CAUTION
•High pressure halogen gas is sealed inside
the halogen bulb. The bulb may break if the
glass envelope is scratched or the bulb is
dropped.
•When handling the bulb, DO NOT TOUCH THE
GLASS ENVELOPE.
•Use the same number and wattage as origi-
nally installed.
•Aiming is usually not necessary after replac-
ing the bulb. When aiming adjustment is nec-
essary, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
•Do not leave the bulb out of the headlight
reflector for a long period of time as dust,
moisture or smoke may enter the headlight
body and affect the performance of the head-
light.
1. Open the bonnet. For details, see “Bonnet
release” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.
2. Disconnect the negative (—) battery cable.

3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the rear
end of the headlight bulb.
4. Remove the cap.
5. Push and turn the retaining spring to loosen it.
6. Remove the headlight bulb. Do not shake or ro-
tate the bulb during the removal.
7. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of re-
moval and make sure that the cap is securely
sealed with the headlight body.
8. Reconnect the negative (—) battery cable and
close the bonnet.
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop, if
you need assistance for bulb replacement.
NOTE
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. The fog
is caused by a temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens. This is not
a malfunction. If large droplets can be seen, then
contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.EXTERIOR LIGHTS

TYRE AGE
Remember tyre age. Never use a tyre over six years
old, regardless of whether they have been used or
not.
Tyres degrade with age as well as the use they are
subjected to. Have the tyres checked and balanced
frequently by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. Report all accidents where the tyre is knocked
even if it is minor.
CHANGING TYRES AND WHEELS
WARNING
Do not install a deformed wheel or tyre even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels or tyres could
have structural damage and could fail without
warning.
When replacing a tyre, use the same size, speed
rating and load carrying capacity as originally
equipped. Recommended types and sizes are men-
tioned in “Wheels and tyres” in the “9. Technical
information” section.
The use of tyres other than those recommended or
the mixed use of tyres of different brands, construc-
tion (bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns
can adversely affect the ride, braking, handling,
ground clearance, body-to-tyre clearance, snow
chain clearance, speedometer calibration, headlight
aim and bumper height.
WARNING
Some of these effects may lead to accidents and
could result in serious personal injury.
If the wheels are changed for any reason, always
replace with wheels which have the same offset
dimension. Wheels of a different offset could cause
early tyre wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling
characteristics and/or interference with the brake
discs/drums. Such interference can lead to
decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake
pad/shoe wear.
WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and
tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out
of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
Wheel balance service should be performed with
the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing the front
wheels on the vehicle could lead to transmission
damage.
SPARE TYRE
The temporary-use spare wheel/tyre can be identi-
fied by the temporary-use spare tyre label which
contrasts to the standard road wheels. If in doubt,
contact a NISSAN dealer, qualified workshop or
see “Spare tyre” in the “6. In case of emergency”
section.
CARE OF WHEELS
For details, see “Care of wheels” in the “7. Appear-
ance and care” section.
