GUID-9D975CE2-D725-41E1-B5A4-B94CB459F82AWhen installing a car phone or a CB radio in
your vehicle, be sure to observe the following
cautions, otherwise the new equipment may
adversely affect the electronic control modules
and electronic control system harness.
WARNING
.A cellular phone should not be used
for any purpose while driving so full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation. Some jurisdictions prohi-
bit the use of cellular phones while
driving.
. If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands-free
cellular phone operational mode (if
so equipped) is highly recom-
mended. Exercise extreme caution
at all times so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
. If a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop

GUID-EA56E4F3-2AF4-4B4E-A481-A0B10F2E6EFA
WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent op-
eration of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than the
seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury (Coupe mod-
els) .
. Closely supervise children when
they are around cars to prevent
them from playing and becoming
locked in the trunk where they could
be seriously injured. Keep the car
locked with the trunk closed when
not in use, and prevent children’s access to car keys (Roadster mod-
els) .
If the engine oil temperature is high, the
engine protection mode, which helps re-
duce the chance of engine damage, could
activate and automatically decrease en-
gine power. Driving while the engine oil
temperature is high may result in engine
damage.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)GUID-AB282403-B1AB-4B2D-A4DD-CC6CC1B09781
WARNING
. Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive with
all windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time. .
Keep the rear hatch/trunk lid closed
while driving, otherwise exhaust
gases could be drawn into the
passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the rear hatch/trunk
lid open, follow these precautions:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Set the
air recirculation to
off and the fan control to high to
circulate the air.
. The exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a qualified
mechanic whenever:
— The vehicle is raised for service.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident invol- ving damage to the exhaust
system, underbody, or rear of
the vehicle.

the hole in the spare tire wheel is aligned
with the pin on the brake rotor.
3. With the wheel nut wrench, tighten wheel nuts alternately and evenly in the sequence
as illustrated (
*1,*2,*3,*4,*5) until
they are tight.
4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire
touches the ground. Then, with the wheel
nut wrench, tighten the wheel nuts securely
in the sequence as illustrated. 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:
80 ft-lb (108 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened
to specification at all times. It is
recommended that wheel nuts be tigh-
tened to specifications at each lubrica-
tion interval.
. Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pres-
sure.
COLD pressure:
After the vehicle has been parked for
three hours or more or driven less than
1 mile (1.6 km) .
COLD tire pressures are shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label
affixed to the driver side center pillar.

label attached to the bottle)
— when the cut or the puncture is approximately 0.25 in (6 mm) or
longer
— when the tire sidewall is da- maged
— when the vehicle has been dri- ven with extremely low tire
pressure
— when the tire has come off the inside or the outside of the
wheel.
— when the tire wheel is damaged
— when two or more tires are flat
Stopping the vehicleGUID-B7BFD9BD-A44D-4459-9F13-B27E10D0F44B1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.

4. Automatic Transmission models:
Move the selector lever to the P (Park) position.
Manual Transmission models:
Move the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
position.
5. Turn off the engine.
6. Raise the hood to warn other traffic and to signal professional road assistance person-
nel that you need assistance.
7. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and stand in a safe place, away from traffic
and clear of the vehicle.
WARNING
Make sure the parking brake is securely
applied and the manual transmission is
shifted into R (Reverse) or the auto-
matic transmission into P (Park) .
.Never repair tires when the vehicle
is on a slope, ice or slippery areas.

Getting emergency tire puncture repair
kit
GUID-EF79543A-ADFA-4C56-9241-FB74D1642C6FTake out the emergency tire puncture repair kit
located under the cargo room or in the trunk.
The repair kit consists of the following items:
*1Tire sealant bottle
*2Air compressor
*3Speed restriction sticker
NOTE:
For models with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit, a spare tire, jack and rod are
not equipped as standard. These parts are
dealer options. Contact a NISSAN dealer
about obtaining these parts. See “Chan-

6.Push the ignition switch to the “ACC”
position. Then turn the compressor switch
to the ON (−) position and inflate the tire up
to the pressure that is specified on the tire
and loading information label affixed to the
driver’s side center pillar if possible, or to the
minimum of 180 kPa (26 psi) . Turn the air
compressor off briefly in order to check the
tire pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tire is inflated to higher than the
specified pressure, lower the tire pressure
by releasing air with the pressure release
valve. NOTE:
The compressor tire pressure gauge
may show a pressure reading of 87 psi
(600 kPa) for about 30 seconds while
inflating the tire. The pressure gauge is
indicating the pressure inside the sea-
lant can. When the sealant has been
injected into the tire the pressure
gauge will drop and indicate actual tire
pressure.
WARNING
.
To avoid serious personal injury
while using the emergency tire
puncture repair kit:
— Securely tighten the compressor
hose to the tire valve. Failure to
do so can cause the sealant to
spray into the air and get into
your eyes or on the skin.
. Do not stand directly beside the
damaged tire while it is being
inflated because of the risk of the
rupture. If there are any cracks or
bumps, turn the compressor off
immediately.
If the tire pressure does not increase to 180kPa (26 psi) within 10 minutes, the tire
may be seriously damaged and
the tire
cannot be repaired with this tire repair
kit. Contact a NISSAN dealer.
7. When the tire pressure is at the specified amount, turn the air compressor off. If the
pressure cannot be inflated to the specified
amount, the air compressor can be turned
off at the minimum of 180 kPa (26 psi) .
Remove the power plug from the power
outlet and quickly remove the hose from the
tire valve. Attach the protective cap and
valve cap. Properly stow the emergency tire
puncture repair kit in the trunk.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury when
stowing the emergency tire puncture
repair kit:
.Keep the sealant bottle screwed
into the compressor. Failure to do
so can cause the sealant to spray
into the air and get into your eyes or
on the skin.
8. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or 3 km (2 miles) at a speed of 80 km/h (50
MPH) or less.
