4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tiretouches the ground. Then, with the wheel
nut wrench, tighten the wheel nuts securely
in the sequence illustrated
(
1,2,3,4,5,6) . Lower the vehicle
completely.
WARNING
● Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause the
wheel to become loose or come off.
This could cause an accident.
● Do not use oil or grease on the wheel
studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts
to become loose.
● Retighten the wheel nuts when the ve-
hicle has been driven for 600 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.) .
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts
to the specified torque with a torque
wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque: 131 ft-lb (177 N·m) The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specification at all times. It is recom-
mended that wheel nuts be tightened to
specifications at each lubrication interval.
Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure: After vehicle has been
parked for 3 hours or more or driven less
than 1 mi. (1.6 km) .
COLD tire pressures are shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label affixed to
the driver side center pillar.
After adjusting tire pressure to the COLD
tire pressure, the display(if so equipped) of
the tire pressure information may show
higher pressure than the COLD tire pres-
sure after the vehicle has been driven more
than 1 mi. (1.6 km) . This is because the tire
pressure increases as the tire temperature
rises. This does not indicate a system mal-
function.
5. Securely store the flat tire, tools and jacking equipment in the vehicle. For additional in-
formation about storing the flat tire, refer to
the “Getting the spare tire and tools” in this
section.
WARNING
●Always make sure that the spare tire
and jacking equipment are properly se-
cured after use. Such items can become
dangerous projectiles in an accident or
sudden stop.
● The spare tire is designed for emer-
gency use. For additional information,
refer to “Wheels and tires” in the “Do-
it-yourself” section of this manual.

Generally, snow tires have lower speed ratings
than factory equipped tires and may not match
the potential maximum vehicle speed. Never ex-
ceed the maximum speed rating of the tire.
If you install snow tires, they must be the same
size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all
four wheels.
For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires
may be used. However, some U.S. states and
Canadian provinces prohibit their use. Check
local, state and provincial laws before installing
studded tires. Skid and traction capabilities of
studded snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.
TIRE CHAINS
Use of tire chains may be prohibited according to
location. Check the local laws before installing
tire chains. When installing tire chains, make sure
they are the proper size for the tires on your
vehicle and are installed according to the chain
manufacturer’s suggestions.Use only SAE
class “S” chains. Class “S” chains are used on
vehicles with restricted tire to vehicle clearance.
Vehicles that can use Class “S” chains are de-
signed to meet the minimum clearances between
the tire and the closest vehicle suspension or
body component required to accommodate the
use of a winter traction device (tire chains or
cables) . The minimum clearances are determined using the factory equipped tire size. Other types
may damage your vehicle. Use chain tensioners
when recommended by the tire chain manufac-
turer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links of the
tire chain must be secured or removed to prevent
the possibility of whipping action damage to the
fenders or underbody. If possible, avoid fully load-
ing your vehicle when using tire chains. In addi-
tion, drive at a reduced speed. Otherwise, your
vehicle may be damaged and/or vehicle handling
and performance may be adversely affected.
Tire chains must be installed only on the
rear wheels and not on the front wheels.
Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving with
chains in such conditions can cause damage to
the various mechanisms of the vehicle due to
some overstress.
Use only the 2WD range when driving on clear
paved roads.
CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES
Tire rotation
NISSAN recommends rotating the tires
every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
For additional information on tire replac-
ing procedures, refer to “Flat tire” in the “In
case of emergency” section of this
manual.
As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.

WARNING
●Stay clear from the exhaust outlet and
exhaust gases. These can cause burns
or personal injury.
● To avoid the risk of personal injury or
fire, do not park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags, as hot vehicle com-
ponents may ignite them.
CAUTION
To maintain maximum Diesel Particulate
Filter (DPF) performance, follow these
precautions:
● Use ultra low-sulfur fuel.
● Use an engine oil specified by NISSAN.
For additional information, refer to
“Recommended fluids/lubricants and
capacities” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section of this
manual. If an engine oil not specified by
NISSAN is used, it could cause DPF
malfunction or reduced fuel efficiency.
● Do not modify the DPF, muffler or ex-
haust pipe. Otherwise it could affect the
DPF performance and cause a
malfunction. ●
Do not kick or hit the DPF. The DPF has
a built-in catalyst system in the muffler.
Such an impact could cause DPF
damage.
The DPF reduces the amount of materials that
affect the environment by collecting particulate
matter included in exhaust gases. Normally, par-
ticulate matter accumulated in the DPF is auto-
matically burned and converted to harmless sub-
stances during driving. However, particulate
matter collected in the DPF cannot be burned
under the following conditions: ● When vehicle speed remains below 7 mph
(11 km/h) for a long period of time.
● When the engine is frequently stopped and
restarted within 10 minutes.
● When the vehicle is frequently used for short
journeys of 10 minutes or less.
● When the engine is frequently stopped be-
fore it has warmed up. In these cases, it becomes difficult to burn par-
ticulate matter that has accumulated in the DPF.
As a result, the DPF warning light will
illuminate/blink and one of the following mes-
sages will display on the vehicle information dis-
play (in order of severity):
● Exhaust Filter Overloaded See Owners
Manual for Drive Pattern
● Exhaust Filter Overloaded Engine Power
Reduced See Owners Manual
● Exhaust Filter Overloaded Immediate Ser-
vice Required
For additional information, refer to the “Meters
and Gauges section of this manual.
CAUTION
●If the vehicle continues to be driven
with the DPF warning light illuminated
and without doing the regeneration
process, the fail-safe will limit the en-
gine revolutions and/or torque. In this
case, it is recommended to contact a
NISSAN dealer to have the Service Re-
generation procedure performed.
