Wheel bolt tightening torque:
113 N•m (12 kg-m, 83 ft-lb)
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel bolts to
the specified torque with a torque wrench.
WARNING
Retighten the wheel bolts after the vehicle has
been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles) (also in
cases of a flat tyre, etc.).
The wheel bolts must be kept tightened to specifi-
cation at all times. It is recommended that the wheel
bolts be tightened to specification at each mainte-
nance interval.
Adjust the tyre pressure to the COLD pressure.COLD pressure is the tyre pressure as measured
after the vehicle has been parked for three hours or
more or driven for less than 1.6 km (1 mile).
COLD tyre pressures are shown on the tyre placard
affixed to the driver’s side centre pillar.
Stowing the wheel and tools
Securely store the wheel with the flat tyre, the jack
and the tools in the specified storage areas.
Wheel lock bolts(where fitted)
In order to prevent theft, the specially designed
wheel lock bolt is installed to each wheel. The wheel
lock bolt cannot be removed with the commonly
used tools.
When removing tyres, use the lock key provided
with your vehicle.Removing the wheel lock bolt:
1. Insert the wheel lock key
j1 to the wheel lock
bolt.
2. To remove the wheel lock bolt, turn the wheel
lock key anticlockwise using the wheel wrench.
CAUTION
•Do not use a power tool to remove the wheel
lock bolts.
•When installing the wheel, tighten the wheel
lock bolts to the same tightening torque as
the normal wheel bolts. For details, see “In-
stalling the wheel” earlier in this section.
NOTE
•The wheel lock bolt has an individual code.
A wheel lock key with other than the indi-
vidual code cannot remove the wheel lock
bolt. If you lose the wheel lock key, con-
tact a NISSAN dealer for a duplicate with
the original wheel lock key code.
•Record the key number as shown on the
key code card on the “Security informa-
tion” page at the end of this manual and
keep it in a safe place, not in the vehicle.
•When you ask for a service at a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop, make sure
to keep the lock key in the vehicle. Other-
wise, wheels cannot be removed and the
service cannot be performed.NCE143Z
