6. Assemble the pieces of the jack rod.Find the oval-shaped opening above
the license plate, slightly to the lef t of
the middle (driver’s side). Pass the
T-shaped end of the jack rod through
the opening and direct it toward the
spare tire winch, located directly above
the spare tire.
CAUTION
Do not insert the jack rod straight as it is
designed to be inserted at an angle as
shown. 7. Fit the square end of the jack rod into
the square hole of the wheel nut
wrench to form a handle.
8. Seat the T-shaped end of the jack rod into the T-shaped opening of the tire
winch. Apply pressure to keep the jack
rod engaged in the spare tire winch
and turn the jack rod counterclockwise
to lower the spare tire.
9. Once the spare tire is completely low- ered, reach under the vehicle, guide the
retainer chain through the center of
the tire and carefully slide the tire from
under the rear of the vehicle. 10. Securely store the flat tire beneath the
vehicle, from where the full size spare
was removed. To reinstall the wheel, re-
move the center cap (if so equipped)
and insert the retainer chain through
the wheel. Be sure the rubber spacer (if
so equipped) is centered on the wheel
before lif ting. Use the assembled jack-
ing rod to slowly rotate the winch clock-
wise to raise the wheel to the vehicle.
11. To reinstall the jack and tool kit, reverse steps 1 through 5.
NOTE:
Inspect the spacer every six years and
replace as necessary. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
CAUTION
∙ Be sure to center the spare tire sus- pending plate on the wheel and then
lif t the spare tire.
∙ Failure to use the spacer may allow the chain to get stuck on the wheel
nut holes.

Installing the spare tire
The spare tire is designed for emergency
use. For additional information, refer to
“Wheels and tires” in the “Do-it-yourself ”
section of this manual.
1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface between the wheel and hub.
2. Carefully put the spare tire on and tighten the wheel nuts finger tight.
3. With the wheel nut wrench, tighten wheel nuts alternately and evenly in the
sequence illustrated (
1,2,3,4,5,6)
until they are tight.

6-12In case of emergency

4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tiretouches the ground. Then, with the
wheel nut wrench, tighten the wheel
nuts securely in the sequence illus-
trated (
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 vehicle 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:
Non-XD models: 98 f t-lb (133 N·m) XD models:
131 f t-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 inter-
val.
Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pres-
sure.
COLD pressure: Af ter 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 af-
fixed to the driver side center pillar.
Af ter 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
pressure af ter 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 malfunction. 5. Securely store the tools and jacking
equipment in the vehicle. For additional
information, refer to the “Getting the
spare tire and tools (Crew and King
Cab® models),” “Getting the spare tire
and tools (Single Cab models)” or “Get-
ting the spare tire and tools (King Cab®
models not equipped with rear seat)” in
this section.
WARNING
∙ Always make sure that the spare tireand jacking equipment are properly
secured af ter use. Such items can be-
come dangerous projectiles in an ac-
cident 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.
