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.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Maintenance and do-it-yourself8-31

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
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. Such interference can lead to decreased
braking efficiency and/or early brake pad wear.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) MODELS
CAUTION
Always use tyres of the same size, brand, con-
struction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and
tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do
so may result in a circumference difference
between tyres on the front and rear axles
which will cause excessive tyre wear and may
damage the transmission, transfer case and
differential gears.
ONLY use spare tyres specified for the four
wheel drive (4WD) models.
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,
