vent the vehicle from moving, which may cause
personal injury.
Place suitable blocks
j1 in front of and behind thewheel diagonally opposite the flat tyre
jA to prevent
the vehicle from moving when it is on the jack.
Getting the tools and spare wheel
The spare wheel, jack and tools are located inside
the luggage compartment.

4. Loosen each wheel bolt by one or two turns
anticlockwise with the wheel wrench.
Do not remove the wheel bolts until the tyre is
off the ground.
Models with wheel lock bolts (where fitted):
If the wheel is equipped with a wheel lock bolt,
insert the wheel lock key
j1 and loosen it as pre-
viously described.
The wheel lock bolt 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.
5. To lift the vehicle, securely hold and turn the
handle clockwise as shown.
6. Carefully raise the vehicle until the tyre clears the
ground.
7. Remove the wheel bolts, then remove the wheel
with the flat tyre.
CAUTION
The wheel is heavy. Be sure that your feet are
clear of the wheel and use gloves as necessary
to avoid injury.
Installing the wheel
WARNING
•The temporary use spare tyre (where fitted) is
designed for emergency use. See “Spare tyre”
earlier in this section.
•Never use wheel bolts other than those pro-
vided with your vehicle. Incorrect wheel bolts
or improperly tightened wheel bolts may
cause the wheel to become loose or come
off. This could cause an accident.
•Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts.
This may cause the wheel bolts to become
loose.

jBLoosen
1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface between
the wheel and the hub.
2. Carefully fit the wheel and tighten the wheel bolts
with your fingers. Check that all the wheel bolts
contact the wheel surface horizontally and on the
bevelled side.
Models with wheel lock bolt (where fitted):
Insert the wheel lock key into the wheel lock bolt
and tighten into the wheel finger tight.

3. With the wheel wrench, tighten the wheel bolts
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 bolts 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 bolts/or perpendicular to
valve hole (where fitted), to correctly align to
the centre.
Wheel bolt tightening torque:
113 N•m (12 kg-m, 83 ft-lb)
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel bolts to
the specified torque with a torque wrench.
WARNING
Retighten the wheel bolts after the vehicle has
been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles) (also in
cases of a flat tyre, etc.).
The wheel bolts must be kept tightened to specifi-
cation at all times. It is recommended that the wheel
bolts 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
Securely store the wheel with the flat tyre, the jack
and the tools in the specified storage areas.
Wheel lock bolts(where fitted)
In order to prevent theft, the specially designed
wheel lock bolt is installed to each wheel. The wheel
lock bolt cannot be removed with the commonly
used tools.
When removing tyres, use the lock key provided
with your vehicle.Removing the wheel lock bolt:
1. Insert the wheel lock key
j1 to the wheel lock
bolt.
2. To remove the wheel lock bolt, turn the wheel
lock key anticlockwise using the wheel wrench.
CAUTION
•Do not use a power tool to remove the wheel
lock bolts.
•When installing the wheel, tighten the wheel
lock bolts to the same tightening torque as
the normal wheel bolts. For details, see “In-
stalling the wheel” earlier in this section.
NOTE
•The wheel lock bolt has an individual code.
A wheel lock key with other than the indi-
vidual code cannot remove the wheel lock
bolt. If you lose the wheel lock key, con-
tact a NISSAN dealer for a duplicate with
the original wheel lock key code.
•Record the key number as shown on the
key code card on the “Security informa-
tion” page at the end of this manual and
keep it in a safe place, not in the vehicle.
•When you ask for a service at a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop, make sure
to keep the lock key in the vehicle. Other-
wise, wheels cannot be removed and the
service cannot be performed.NCE143Z
6-6In case of emergency

Battery (Type A)
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be be-
tween the UPPERj1 and LOWERj2 level lines.
If it is necessary to add fluid, add only distilled water
to bring the level to the indicator in each filler open-
ing.Do not overfill.
1. Remove the cell plugs
jA using a suitable tool.
j1OK
j2ADD
2. Add distilled water up to the UPPER level line
j1.
If the side of the battery is not clear, check the
electrolyte water level by looking directly above
the cell, as illustrated.
3. Tighten cell plugs.
CAUTION
Do not overfill battery cells. Excessive electrolyte
may leak out of the battery during charging, and
cause paint damage.
Maintenance free battery (Type B)
For a maintenance free battery it is not required to
check the fluid level. However, NISSAN recom-
mends to visually check the green indicator
jA sta-
tus periodically. If it is not visible, replace the battery
as soon as possible.
Reinitialisation procedure after battery
reconnection
If the battery has been reconnected, check the fol-
lowing items:
•Clock setting (where fitted). For details, see “Ve-
hicle information display” in the “2. Instruments
and controls” section, or the separately provided
NissanConnect Owner’s Manual, or the audio
device descriptions in “FM AM radio with CD
player (where fitted)” in the “4. Display screen,
heater and air conditioner, and audio system”
section.
•Reset the desired radio stations to the preset
station buttons. For details, see the audio device
descriptions in the “4. Heater and air conditioner,
and audio system”.
Models with Stop/Start System
•Ensure that the battery fitted is the special bat-
tery that is enhanced with regard to the charge-
discharge capacity and life performance. Avoid
using any other battery for the Stop/Start Sys-
tem, as this may cause early deterioration of the
battery or a malfunction of the Stop/Start Sys-
tem. It is recommended that a Genuine NISSAN
battery is fitted. For more information, contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•If the battery terminal is disconnected (for bat-
tery replacement, etc.) and then reconnected,
there may be some delay before the Stop/Start
System reactivates.
