2011 NISSAN QASHQAI Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine TEMPORARY-USE SPARE TYRE
The temporary-use spare tyre is designed for emer-
gency use only. This spare tyre should be used
ONLY for very short periods and NEVER be used
for long drives or extended periods.
Observe the following precautions if the temporary-
use spare tyre must be used, otherwise your vehicle
could be damaged or involved in an accident.
WARNING
Any continuous road use of this tyre could result
in tyre failure, loss of vehicle control, and pos-
sible personal injury.
CAUTION
The temporary-use spare tyre should be used
only in emergencies. It should be replaced by
the standard tyre at the first opportunity.
Drive carefully and do not drive your vehicle
faster than 80 km/h (50 MPH).
Avoid driving over obstacles. Also, do not take
the vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Avoid driving sharp turns and abrupt braking.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum load
rating or the load-carrying capacity molded
on the sidewall of the temporary-use spare
tyre.
Do not use a snow chain on this tyre because
it will not fit properly. This could cause dam-
age to the vehicle and result in loss of the
chain.
Do not use the temporary-use spare tyre on
any other vehicle because this tyre has been
designed specifically for your vehicle.
The vehicle must not be driven with more than
one temporary-use spare tyre at the same
time.
Do not tow a trailer.
As with all tyres, the temporary-use spare tyre
must be checked regularly to ensure pres-
sure is maintained.
For pressure details, see the tyre placard lo-
cated on the driver’s side centre pillar. In case of a flat tyre, follow the instructions as de-
scribed below:

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Never allow passengers to stay in the vehicle
while it is on the jack.
Remove all loads before lifting the vehicle with
the jack.
Make sure to block the wheel diagonally op-
posite the flat tyre as described earlier in this
section.
CAUTION
The jack should be used on firm, level ground.
1. Place the jack directly under the jack-up point as illustrated so that the top of the jack contacts the
vehicle at the jack-up point.
2. Align the centre of both the jack head and the notches at the jack-up point as shown.
3. Fit the groove of the jack head between the two notches as shown. 4. Loosen each wheel nut by one or two turns
anticlockwise with the wheel wrench.
Do not remove the wheel nuts until the tyre is
off the ground.
Models with wheel lock nuts (where fitted):
If the wheel is equipped with a wheel lock nut,
insert the wheel lock key
j1 and loosen it as pre-
viously described.
The wheel lock nut can only be removed with the
wheel lock key. A key number is necessary if you
need to duplicate the wheel lock key.
Record the key number as shown on the key
code card on the “Security information” page at
the end of this manual and keep it in a safe place,
not in the vehicle. If you loose the wheel lock key,
see your NISSAN dealer for a duplicate with the
original wheel lock key code. Make sure to keep the lock key in the vehicle.
Otherwise, wheels cannot be removed and the
service cannot be performed.

Installing the wheel
WARNING
The temporary use spare tyre is designed for
emergency use. See “Spare tyre” earlier in
this section.
Never use wheel nuts other than those pro-
vided with your vehicle. Incorrect wheel nuts
or improperly tightened wheel nuts may cause
the wheel to become loose or come off. This
could cause an accident.
Never use oil or grease on the wheel studs or
nuts. This may cause the wheel nuts to be-
come loose.

jC Bevelled face
1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface between the wheel and the hub.
2. Carefully fit the wheel and tighten the wheel nuts with your fingers. Check that all the wheel nuts
contact the wheel surface horizontally and on the
bevelled side.
Models with wheel lock nut (where fitted):
Insert the wheel lock key into the wheel lock nut
and tighten into the wheel finger tight.
3. With the wheel wrench, tighten the wheel nuts alternately and evenly in the sequence as illus-
trated (
j1-j5 ) until they are tight.
4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tyre touches the ground.
5. Tighten the wheel nuts securely using the wheel wrench in the sequence as illustrated.
6. Lower the vehicle completely.
7. Install the wheel cover (where fitted). NOTE
Before installation, align NISSAN logo (centre
cap) with the wheel nuts/or perpendicular to
valve hole (where fitted), to correctly align to
the centre.
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts to
the specified torque with a torque wrench. Wheel nut tightening torque:
113 (12 kg-m, 83 ft-lb)
WARNING
Retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle has
been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles) (also in
cases of a flat tyre, etc.).
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to specifica-
tion at all times. It is recommended that the wheel
nuts be tightened to specification at each mainte-
nance interval.
Adjust the tyre pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure is the tyre pressure as measured
after the vehicle has been parked for three hours or
more or driven for less than 1.6 km (1 mile).
COLD tyre pressures are shown on the tyre placard
affixed to the driver’s side centre pillar.
Stowing the wheel and tools
WARNING
Always make sure that the wheel, subwoofer
(where fitted), jack and tools are properly stored
after each use. Such items can become danger-
ous projectiles in an accident or sudden stop.
