HEADLIGHTS
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type which
uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb. A
bulb can be replaced from inside the engine
compartment without removing the headlight as-
sembly.
CAUTION
cHigh pressure halogen gas is sealed
inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may
break if the glass envelope is scratched
or the bulb is dropped.
cWhen handling the bulb, do not touch
the glass envelope.
cDO NOT TOUCH THE BULB
cUse the same number and wattage as
originally installed:
Wattage 65/55Bulb No. HB5/9007*
*: Always check with the Parts Depart-
ment at a NISSAN dealer for the latest
parts information.
cDo not leave the bulb out of the head-
light reflector for a long period of time
as dust, moisture and smoke may enter
the headlight body and affect the per-
formance of the headlight.cAiming is not necessary after replacing
the bulb. When aiming adjustment is
necessary, contact a NISSAN dealer.
Removing the headlight bulb
1. Open the hood.
2. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the
rear end of the bulb.

If you have a flat tire, see the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire pressure monitoring system
This vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure
monitoring system. It monitors tire pressure of all
tires except the spare. When the low tire pres-
sure warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated.
The tire pressure monitoring system will activate
only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above
16 MPH (26 km/h) . Also, this system may not
detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for ex-
ample a flat tire while driving) .
For more details, refer to “Low tire pressure warn-
ing light” in the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion, ”Tire pressure information” in the “Display
screen, heater, air conditioner and audio sys-
tems” section, “Tire pressure monitoring system”
in the “Starting and driving” section, and “Flat
tire” in the “In case of emergency” section.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including the spare)
often and always prior to long distance trips. The
recommended tire pressure specifications are
shown on the Tire Placard (if so equipped) or the
Tire and Loading Information label (if soequipped) under the9Recommended Cold Tire
Inflation Pressure9heading. This label is affixed to
the driver side center pillar. Tire pressures should
be checked regularly because:
cMost tires naturally lose air over time.
cTires can lose air suddenly when driven over
potholes or other objects or if the vehicle
strikes a curb while parking.
The tire pressures should be checked when the
tires are cold. The tires are considered COLD
after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more
hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at
moderate speeds.
Incorrect tire pressure, including under in-
flation, may adversely affect tire life and
vehicle handling.
WARNING
cImproperly inflated tires can fail sud-
denly and cause an accident.cThe Gross Maximum Weight rating is
located on the FMVSS label. The ve-
hicle weight capacity is indicated on the
Tire and Loading Information label (if so
equipped) . Do not load your vehicle be-
yond this capacity. Overloading your ve-
hicle may result in reduced tire life, un-
safe operating conditions due to
premature tire failure, or unfavorable
handling characteristics and could also
lead to a serious accident. Loading be-
yond the specified capacity may also
result in failure of other vehicle
components.
cBefore taking a long trip, or whenever
you heavily load your vehicle, use a tire
pressure gauge to ensure that the tire
pressures are at the specified level.
cDo not drive your vehicle over 85 MPH
(137 km/h) unless it is equipped with
high speed rated tires. Driving faster
than 85 MPH (137 km/h) may result in
tire failure, loss of control and possible
injury.
cFor additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety In-
formation” (US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet.

s3Original tire size: The size of the tires
originally installed on the vehicle at
the factory.
s4Recommended cold tire inflation
pressure: Inflate the tires to this pres-
sure when the tires are cold. Tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle
has been parked for 3 or more hours,
or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at
moderate speeds. The recom-
mended cold tire inflation is set by the
manufacturer to provide the best bal-
ance of tire wear, vehicle handling,
driveability, tire noise, etc., up to the
vehicles GVWR.

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
of air escaping from the tire is heard
while checking the pressure, reposi-
tion the gauge to eliminate this leak-
age.
3. Remove the gauge.

4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge
stem and compare to the specifica-
tion shown on the Tire Placard (if so
equipped) or the Tire and Loading
Information label (if so equipped) .
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.Size Cold Tire Infla-

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.

s1Tire size (example: P215/65R15 95H)
1. P: The9P9indicates the tire is de-
signed for passenger vehicles.
2. Three-digit number: This number
gives the width in millimeters of the
tire from sidewall edge to sidewall
edge.
3. Two-digit number: This number,
known as the aspect ratio, gives the
tire’s ratio of height to width.
4. R: The9R9stands for radial.5. Two-digit number: This number is the
wheel or rim diameter in inches.
6. Two- or three-digit number: 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. Tire speed rating. You should not
drive the vehicle faster than the tire
speed rating.
