Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due to
improper maintenance or service factors. This could create
a risk of property damage and serious or fatal injury.
Disregarding any of the safety precautions and instructions
contained in this manual may result in tire failure or explo-
sion causing serious personal injury or death. For your
safety, comply with the following:
TIRE INFLATIONKeep tires inflated to the pressures recommended on the
tire data placard. (See your OWNER’S MANUAL for
location.) These inflation pressures must be maintained as
a minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum pres-
sure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES ON ALL YOUR TIRES,
INCLUDING THE SPARE, WHEN TIRES ARE COLD, AT
LEAST ONCE A MONTH BEFORE DRIVING.
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper
vehicle handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire
wear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle control and
serious personal injury. Therefore, inflation pressures
should be checked at least once a month and always prior
to long distance trips.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold. The tires
are cold when your vehicle has been driven less than a mile
at moderate speed after being stopped for three or more
hours.
CHECKING PRESSURE WHEN
TIRES ARE HOT
If you must add air when your tires are hot, add four pounds
per square inch (psi) (28kPa) above the recommended
cold air pressure. Recheck the inflation pressure when the
tire is cold.
For Example Only:
Gauge reading of hot tire: 32psi
If recommended pressure is: 30psi
Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4psi = 34psi
Check cold pressures as soon as possible, at least by the
next day. Never “bleed” air from hot tires as your tire will be
underinflated. Use an accurate tire gauge to check pres-
sures. Never allow children to air up tires.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE
CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS.
For replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will
be provided by your tire dealer, if not, refer to the vehicle
decal.
Underinflation produces extreme flexing of the sidewalls
and builds up heat which may result in sudden tire destruc-
tion and serious personal injury. Overinflation can cause
the tire to be more susceptible to impact damage.
LOAD LIMITS
DO NOT OVERLOAD. DRIVING ON ANY OVER-
LOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS. Never load your tires
beyond the load carrying limits molded into the sidewall of
the tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the
vehicle tire data placard, whichever is less. Overloading causes heat to build up which can lead to sudden tire
failure and serious personal injury.
SPEED LIMITS AND SPEED RATED
TIRES
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Never
operate your vehicle in excess of lawful speeds or the
maximum speeds justified by the driving conditions. Exces-
sive speeds or racing can cause heat buildup in a tire
leading to possible failure and serious personal injury.
Correct inflation pressure is especially important.
However, at high speeds, even with the correct inflation
pressure, a road hazard, for example, is more difficult to
avoid and if contact is made, there is a greater chance of
causing tire damage than at the lower speed. Moreover,
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to
avoid accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. If you
see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with your spare
tire and see your tire dealer at once.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be
safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is
rated. In addition, some damages or improper repairs
may cause a speed-rated tire to lose its speed rating.
Exceeding the tire’s maximum speed rating will cause
the tire to build up excessive heat which can cause tire
damage that could result in sudden tire destruction and
rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle with sudden air
loss can lead to an accident. In any case, you should not
exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by the legal
limits and driving conditions.

SPEED SYMBOLS - are shown on the sidewall of some
tires. The following table shows the maximum speed cor-
responding to the symbol.
SPEED RATINGS
†Speed Speed Maximum
Rating mph km/Hr
M 81 130 N 87 140 P 93 150
Q 99 160 R 106 170
S 112 180 T 118 190
H 130 210
V* 149 240
Z** 149 240
*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed
capacity of greater than 149 mph (240 km/h). Con-
sult your tire manufacturer for maximum speed ratings if
your vehicle capability exceeds this speed.
**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed for use on cars
with maximum speed capabilities in excess of 149
mph (240 km/h). Consult your tire manufacturer for
maximum speed capabilities.
†Although a tire may be speed rated, we do not endorse the
operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner. Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests which relate
to performance on the road, but are not applicable if tires
are underinflated, overloaded, worn out, damaged, al-
tered, improperly repaired, or retreaded. Furthermore, tire
speed ratings do not imply that vehicles can be safely
driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is rated,
particularly under adverse road and weather conditions or
if the vehicle has unusual characteristics. Most highway
passenger tires that do not have a speed symbol in the
sidewall have a maximum speed rating of 105 mph. Light
truck highway tires that do not have a speed symbol on the
sidewall of the tire have a maximum speed of 87 mph.
Some light truck tires may have higher maximum speeds;
consult your tire dealer. The speed and other ratings of
retreaded tires are assigned by the retreader and voids the
original manufacturer’s ratings.
IMPORTANT:
In order to maintain the speed capability of
the vehicle, replacement tires must have speed ratings
equal to or higher than those fitted as original equipment
(as indicated on the vehicle placard or owners manual). If
tires with lower speed ratings are fitted, the speed capabil-
ity of the vehicle will be lowered to the maximum speed
capability of the replacement tire as indicated on the above
table.
Remember...High speed driving can be dangerous and
may be damaging to your tires.
And...When driving at highway speeds, correct inflation
pressure is especially important.
Contact the manufacturer of your tires for their position
and assistance on the repair of speed-rated tires. When
you are replacing tires that have a speed rating, you must
replace with tires of the same or higher speed rating if the
speed capability of the vehicle is to be maintained.
VISUAL INSPECTION
INSPECT YOUR TIRES. DO NOT DRIVE ON A
DAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL. Check your tires fre-
quently for scrapes, bulges, separations, cuts, snags,
cracks, penetrations or excessive localized wear from
hard braking. Also check for abnormal tire wear, par-
ticularly on the edges of the tire tread which may be
caused by misalignment or underinflation. Impacts can
damage the inner portion of the tire without being
visible on the outside. If damage can be seen on the
tires or wheels, or if you suspect that possible impact
damage may have occurred, replace with spare at once
and have your tire store or dealer inspect your tires
immediately. Use of a damaged tire could result in tire
destruction. When inspecting your tires, including the
spare, check your air pressures. If your pressure check
indicates that one of your tires has lost pressure of two
pounds or more, look for signs of penetrations, valve
leakage, or wheel damage that may account for the air
loss.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high
speeds as well as hard cornering, rapid starts, sudden
stops, frequent driving on roads which are in poor
condition, and off-road use. Roads with holes and rocks
or other objects can damage tires and cause misalign-
ment of your vehicle. When you drive on such roads,
drive on them carefully and slowly, and before driving
again at normal or highway speeds, examine your tires
for any damage, such as cuts, bulges, penetrations,
unusual wear patterns, etc.

TREAD WEAR INDICATORS (WEAR BARS): Tires
contain Tread Wear Indicators (Wear Bars) in the grooves
of the tire tread which show up when only
2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread is remaining.
At this stage, your tires must be replaced. Tires
worn beyond this stage are dangerous.
HAZARDSObjects in the road that threaten a tire should be safely
avoided. These objects are potholes, glass, metal, rocks,
wood debris and the like. Unavoidable contact should
prompt a thorough tire inspection.
You may not always recall hitting an object that can
damage or injure your tires. If while driving your vehicle
experiences any unusual vibrations, ride disturbance or
noise and/or you suspect that possible damage to the tires
or vehicle has occurred. DO NOT JAM OR LOCK YOUR
BRAKES! Rather reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off the road. Stop and
inspect the tires. If the tire is underinflated or damaged,
deflate, remove the tire and rim assembly and replace it
with your spare. If you cannot detect a cause, have the
vehicle towed to the nearest vehicle or tire dealer to have
the vehicle inspected.
REPAIRING, MOUNTING AND
DEMOUNTING OF TIRES
Do not attempt to repair, mount or demount a tire
yourself. Tire changing can be dangerous and must be
done by professionally trained persons using proper tools
and procedures as specified by the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA). Follow these mounting recom-
mendations. Your tires should be mounted on wheels of
correct size and type and which are in good, clean condi- tion. Bent, chipped or rusted wheels may cause tire dam-
age. The inside of the tire must be free from foreign
materials.
Have your dealer check the wheels before
mounting new tires. Mismatched tires and rims can
explode during mounting. Also, mismatched tires and rims
can result in dangerous tire failure on the road. If a tire is
mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim, do not remount
it on the proper rim - scrap it. It may be damaged internally
(which is not externally visible) by being dangerously
stretched and could fail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are
mounted, have new valves of the correct type installed.
Tubeless tires must be mounted only on wheels de-
signed for tubeless tires, i.e., wheels which have safety
humps or ledges.
Never perform a temporary repair, use an innertube or
inject sealant as a permanent substitute for a proper
repair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps. This
will keep valve cores clean and clear and guard against
leakage.
REPAIRS - WHENEVER POSSIBLE, SEE A TIRE
DEALER AT ONCE. Some tire manufacturers do not
warrant any inspection or repair process. The repair is
entirely the responsibility of the repairer. Punctures in the
tread of a passenger tire which do not exceed 1/4 of an
inch (6mm) in diameter can usually be repaired by following
the Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) Passenger
and Light Truck Repair procedures. Contact the manufac-
turer of your tires for its position and assistance as to the
acceptable location for a proper repair and the repair of
speed rated tires. Do not use plug repairs. They may
cause further damage to the tire. They are not always air tight and the plug may fail.
Do not exceed
posted speed limits on any repaired tire. Certain tire
manufacturers speed ratings are voided if the tire is
repaired.
Although a tire was properly repaired, internal structural
damage resulting from the puncture may have occurred.
Sometime later the damage may cause the tire to be
removed from service.
If the tire has a puncture in the tread which exceeds 1/4
inch (6mm), the tire must be replaced. If any tire has
sustained a puncture, have the tire inspected internally by
a tire dealer for possible damage that may have occurred.
Improper mounting and inflation procedures can cause an
explosion of the tire/rim assembly. Only specially trained
persons should perform these tasks. Contact your tire
store or dealer for assistance.
CAUTION - Never, under any circumstance, intro-
duce a flammable substance into a tire.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCINGWheel alignment and balancing are important for safety
and maximum mileage from your tires. Check how your tires
are wearing at least once a month. If your tires are wearing
unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire wearing
faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive
vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance.
These conditions not only shorten the life of your tires, but
adversely affect the handling characteristics of your vehicle
which could be dangerous. If you detect irregular wear or
vibration, have your alignment and balance checked imme-
diately. Tires which have been run underinflated will show
more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread.

TRAILER TOWINGIf you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire dealer
for advice concerning the correct size of tire and pressure.
Tire size and pressure will depend on the type and size of
the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case must the
maximum cold inflation pressure or the tire load rating be
exceeded. Check the tire decal and your Owner’s Manual
for further recommendations on trailer towing.
TIRE ALTERATIONSDo not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations
may prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage,
which can result in an accident. Tires which become
unserviceable due to alterations such as truing, whitewall
inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids, may be
excluded from warranty coverage. Consult your tire war-
ranty.
HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE
TIRES
1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Nissan vehicle is designed for temporary use only and must not be
used continually as a regular tire. The standard tire
should be repaired and/or replaced as soon as
possible.
2) Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire through impact or cutting, such as potholes, glass,
metal, etc. 3) Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h) for non-
speed-rated temporary spare tires.
4) Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife which can vary depending on road conditions and your
driving habits. The spare tire should be returned to the
trunk as soon as the standard tire can be repaired or
replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was specifically designed for your car, it should not be used on any
other vehicle.
6) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure spare. This could cause damage to your vehicle.
7) Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and
maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm
2) even when not in use.
8) The high-pressure spare tire should not be used with any other rim nor should standard tires, wheel covers,
or trim rings be used on the high-pressure spare tire
rim which was originally installed.
9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire,
replace it only with the same type spare tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a temporary spare tire fitted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a high-pressure tempo-
rary spare.
Note: When using any temporary type spare tire, be
sure to follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual
instructions.
TIRE STORAGEAll tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so that
there is no danger of water collecting inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool place
away from sources of heat and ozone such as hot pipes and
electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on which tires
are stored are clean and free from grease, gasoline or other
substances which could deteriorate the rubber. (Tires
exposed to these materials during storage or driving could
be subject to sudden failure.)
To Avoid Damage to your Tires and
Possible Accident:
• Check tire pressure at least once a month when
tires are cold and before long trips.
• Do not underinflate/overinflate.
• Do not overload.
• Drive at moderate speeds, observe legal limits.
• Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles, curbs or
edges of pavement.
• Avoid excessive wheel spinning.
• If you see any damage to a tire, replace with spare
and see the tire manufacturer’s dealer or your
Nissan dealership.

WHAT IS COVERED?
Nissan * Warrants your Genuine Nissan Replacement
Battert as described below except as stated under
"What is not covered?"
This warranty covers defects in materials and workman-
ship.
HOW LONG IS THE WARRANTY AND WHAT WILL
NISSAN DO
Nissan will replace your battery without charge if it
becomes unserviceable within the first 24 months of
service.
If the battery becomes unserviceable after 24 months of
use, Nissan will provide a replacement battery at a
reduced price, charging only for the portion of the life of
the battery actually used. This is called a "pro-rata
adjustment". Nissan will pay for all labor charges in
replacing the battery if it was originally installed by an
authorized Nissan dealer.
This warranty and the "pro-rata adjustment" end 84
months after the date of the battery's purchase or
installation, whichever is earlier.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This warranty does not cover:
1. Damage or failure resulting from: • Accident, theft, fire or freezing.
• Misuse of the battery or vehicle in which it is installed, including the use in applications for
which the battery was not designed. Proper use
is described in the vehicles Owner's Manual.
• Improper installation or battery charging.
• Vehicle electrical malfunctions not covered by
your New Vehicle Limited Warranty. • Modification or improper repair of the vehicle or a
part of the vehicle.
• Use of parts not equivalent in quality or design to
parts supplied by Nissan.
• Environmental conditions, including, but not limited to flood, and salt spray or salt water.
2. Normal maintenance service and recharging of discharged batteries.
3. Batteries in service more that 84 months.
4. Salvage Title. This warranty does not cover damage, failure, or corrosion to any Genuine
Nissan battery installed in the vehicle, if the vehicle
is issued a "salvage " or similar title under any
state's law, and this warranty is rendered void for
any battery installed in a vehicle prior to the vehicle
being issued a "salvage" or similar title unless state
law expressly states otherwise. (This exclusion
does not extend to a new Genuine Nissan battery
installed in the vehicle after the issuance of a
"salvage" or similar title).
WHAT YOU MUST DO
In order to obtain warranty service, you must deliver the
warranted battery or the vehicle in which the battery is
installed to an authorized Nissan dealer in the U.S. or
Canada at your expense, with proof of purchase (parts
invoice or service repair order from an authorized Infiniti
dealer). The names and addresses of authorized Nissan
dealers are listed in telephone directories or
www.NissanUSA.com
If the "pro-rata adjustment" applies, you must pay for
the portion of the 84 month warrantable life that you
actually used. The amount you pay is computed in two
steps. First, the customer pay percentage is determined
from the chart shown below based upon the months of
actual battery service. Months Customer Pay
In ServicePercentage
0-24 0%
25-32 25%
33-50 50%
51-84 75%
Second, the current suggested retail price of the new
battery is multiplied by the customer pay percentage.
For example, should the battery fail after 40 months of
service you would pay 50% of the suggested retail price
of the new battery.
You must also pay for the labor charge to remove and
replace the battery if it was not originally installed in your
vehicle by an authortized Nissan Dealer.
