2003 NISSAN FRONTIER glove box

If you have a flat tire, see the “In case of
emergency” section in this manual.
TIRE PRESSURE
Maximum inflation pressure
Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressures
shown on the sidewall of the tire
s1.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressure (including the spare) at
least once a month and always prior to long
distance trips. Incorrect tire pressure may ad-
versely affect tire life and vehicle handling. Tire
pressure should be checked when tires areCOLD. Tires are considered COLD after the
vehicle has been parked for three or more hours,
or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate
speeds. COLD tire pressures are shown on the
tire placard affixed to the inside of the glove box
lid.
WARNING
cImproperly inflated tires can fail sud-
denly and cause an accident.
cThe vehicle weight capacity is indicated
on the F.M.V.S.S. certification label. Do
not load your vehicle beyond this ca-
pacity. Overloading your vehicle may
result in reduced tire life, unsafe oper-
ating conditions due to premature tire
failure, or unfavorable handling charac-
teristics and could also lead to a seri-
ous accident. Loading beyond the
specified capacity may also result in
failure of other vehicle components.
cBefore 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.cDo not drive your vehicle over 85 MPH
(137 km/h) unless it is equipped with
high speed rated tires. Driving faster
than 85 MPH (137 km/h) may result in
tire failure, loss of control and possible
injury.
cFor additional information regarding
tires, refer to Important Tire Safety In-
formation (US) or Tire Safety Informa-
tion (Canada) in the Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet.
TYPES OF TIRES
WARNING
cWhen changing or replacing tires, be
sure all four tires are of the same type
(i.e., Summer, All Season or Snow) and
construction. A NISSAN dealer may be
able to help you with information about
tire type, size, speed rating and avail-
ability. Replacement tires may have a
lower speed rating than the factory
equipped tires, and may not match the
potential maximum vehicle speed.
Never exceed the maximum speed rat-
ing of the tire.
