The fuse box is located on the driver's
side of the instrument panel. 1. Be sure the ignition switch and the head-
light switch are OFF.
2. Remove the fuse box cover
OAwith a
suitable tool. Use a cloth to avoid dam-
aging the trim.
3. Locate the fuse that needs to be replaced.
4. Remove the fuse with the fuse puller
OB,
which is located in the center of the fuse
box cover in the passenger
compartment. 5. If the fuse is open
OC, replace it with an
equivalent good fuse

•Only touch the base when handling
the bulb. Never touch the glass enve-
lope. Touching the glass could sig-
nificantly affect bulb life and/or
headlight performance.
• 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.
• Use the same number and wattage
as shown in the chart.
WARNING
Do not touch bulb by hand while it is lit
or right af ter being turned off. Burning
may result.
CAUTION
• Do not touch glass surface of the bulb
with bare hands or allow oil or grease to
get on it to prevent damage to bulb.
• Do not leave the bulb out of the lamp
reflector for a long time because dust,
moisture, smoke, etc. may affect the
performance of the lamp.
• Fog may temporarily form inside the
lens of the exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A temperature difference
between the inside and the outside of
the lens causes the fog. This is not a
malfunction. If large drops of water col-
lect inside the lens, it is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for ser-
vicing.
Replacing the LED headlight bulb
(if so equipped)
If LED headlight bulb replacement is re-
quired, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
TURN SIGNAL BULB
To replace the turn signal bulb follow the
instructions listed in the “Replacing the
halogen headlight bulb” found in this sec-
tion.
FOG LIGHTS (if so equipped)
For additional information on fog light bulb
replacement, refer to the instructions out-
lined in this section.
Replacing the fog light bulb
If fog light bulb replacement is required, it is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
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 originally installed as shown in the
chart.
• Do not leave the bulb out of the fog
light for a long period of time as dust,
moisture and smoke may enter the
fog light body and affect the perfor-
mance of the fog light.

If you have a flat tire, refer to “Flat tire” in
the “In case of emergency ” section of
this manual.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use.
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors
tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
When the low tire pressure warning light is
lit and warning is displayed in the odom-
eter, or the “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air”
appears in the vehicle information display,
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated.
The TPMS will activate only when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds above 16 mph (25
km/h). Also, this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a
flat tire while driving).
For additional information, refer to “Low tire
pressure warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section, “Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and
driving” section, and “Flat tire” in the “In case
of emergency” section of this manual.Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including
the spare) of ten and always prior to
long distance trips. The recom-
mended tire pressure specifications
are shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.
certification label or the Tire and
Loading Information label under the
“Cold Tire Pressure” heading. The Tire
and Loading Information label is af-
fixed to the driver side center pillar.
Tire pressures should be checked
regularly because:
• Most tires naturally lose air over
time. • Tires can lose air suddenly when
driven over potholes or other ob-
jects 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 af ter the
vehicle has been parked for 3 or
more hours, or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
The TPMS with Easy-Fill Tire Alert (if
so equipped) provides visual and au-
dible signals outside the vehicle for
inflating tires to the recommended
COLD tire pressure. For additional in-
formation, refer to “TPMS with Easy-
Fill Tire Alert” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely af-
fect tire life and vehicle handling.

WARNING
• Improperly inflated tires can
fail suddenly and cause an
accident.
• The Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing (GVWR) is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certifica-
tion label. The vehicle weight
capacity is indicated on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
Do not load your vehicle be-
yond this capacity. Overload-
ing your vehicle may result in
reduced tire life, unsafe operat-
ing conditions due to prema-
ture tire failure, or unfavorable
handling characteristics and
could also lead to a serious ac-
cident. Loading beyond the
specified capacity may also re-
sult in failure of other vehicle
components. •
Before 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.
• For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.

1Seating capacity: The maximum num-
ber of occupants that can be seated in
the vehicle.
2Original tire size: The size of the tires
originally installed on the vehicle at the
factory.
3Cold tire pressure: Inflate the tires to
this pressure when the tires are cold.
Tires are considered COLD af ter the ve-
hicle 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 ve-
hicle's GVWR.

section.
5Spare tire size.
6Vehicle load limit: Refer to “Vehicle load-
ing information” in the “Technical and
consumer information” section of this
manual.
Checking tire pressure
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 sideways, or air will
escape. If the hissing sound of air escap-
ing from the tire is heard while checking
the pressure, reposition the gauge to
eliminate this leakage.
3. Remove the gauge.
