7. Make sure that the air compressor switch isin the off position
1, then insert the power
plug into the power outlet of the vehicle.
8. Push the ignition switch to the ACC posi- tion. Turn the compressor switch to the ON
position
2and inflate the tire to the pres-
sure that is specified on the tire placard that
is affixed to the driver’s side center pillar if
possible, or to the minimum of 26 psi
(180 kPa) . Turn the air compressor off briefly
in order to check the tire pressure with the
tire 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.
WARNING
The ring on the end of the air compressor
hose may become hot after use so take
care to avoid burns.
CAUTION
Operating the air compressor for an ex-
tended period of time can result in dam-
age to the compressor and will not allow
you to fill the tire to the required air pres-
sure. Avoid continuous operation of the
compressor exceeding 10 minutes.
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 sealant can. When the
sealant has been injected into the tire the
pressure gauge will drop and indicate ac-
tual tire pressure.WARNING
●
To avoid serious personal injury while
using the emergency tire repair kit:
– Securely tighten the air 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 dam- aged tire while it is being inflated
because of the risk of rupture. If
there are any cracks or bumps, turn
the air compressor off immediately.
● To avoid serious injury when stowing
the emergency
– 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.

In case of emergency6-9

If the tire pressure does not increase to26 psi
(180 kPa) within 10 minutes, the tire may be
seriously damaged and the tire cannot be re-
paired with this tire repair kit. Under this
circumstance, contact a professional towing ser-
vice for assistance.
9. When the tire pressure is at the specified pressure, turn the air compressor off. If the
tire cannot be inflated to the specified pres-
sure, the air compressor can be turned of at
the minumum 26 psi (180 kPa) . Remove the
power plug from the outlet and quickly re-
move the hose from the tire valve. Attach the
protective cap and valve cap. Properly stow
the emergency tire repair kit in the cargo
area.
10. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or 2 miles (3 km) at a speed below 50 mph
(80 km/h).
11. After driving, make sure that the air com- pressor switch is in the OFF position, then
screw the hose into the tire valve. Check the
pressure with the pressure gauge. Tempo-
rary repair is complete if the tire pressure
does not drop.
Make sure that the tire pressure is adjusted to the
pressure that is specified on the tire placard
before driving.CAUTION
If tire pressure falls below 18 psi (130 kPa)
and remains low, even after repeating
steps 5-11, the tire is not repairable using
the tire emergency repair kit. Stop driving
the vehicle and contact a professional
towing service.
● It is recommended to replace the repaired
tire with a new tire.
● Although the wheel can be reused by remov-
ing the repair compound, the tire valve must
be replaced.
● The remaining repair compound is not us-
able and must be replaced.
● When attempting to repair the punctured tire
at a later time the puncture may not be
detectable. It is important to carefully moni-
tor the tire pressure of the repaired tire. If the
tire should continually lose air pressure you
will need to have the tire replaced.
After tire repair
See a NISSAN dealer for tire repair or replace-
ment as soon as possible.
WARNING
● After using Emergency Tire Sealant to
repair a minor tire puncture, do not
drive the vehicle at speeds faster than
80 km/h (50 mph) .
● Immediately after using Emergency Tire
Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture,
take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer to
inspect, and repair or replace the tire.
The Emergency Tire Sealant cannot per-
manently seal a punctured tire. Con-
tinuing operation of the vehicle without
a permanent tire repair can lead to a
crash.
● If you used Emergency Tire Sealant to
repair a minor tire puncture, a NISSAN
dealer will also need to replace the
TPMS sensor in addition to repairing or
replacing the tire.
6-10In case of emergency

●NISSAN recommends using only
NISSAN Genuine Emergency Tire Seal-
ant provided with your vehicle. Other
tire sealants may damage the valve
stem seal which can cause the tire to
lose air pressure. To start your engine with a booster battery, the
instructions and precautions below must be fol-
lowed.
WARNING
●
If done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a battery explosion, resulting in
severe injury or death. It could also
damage your vehicle.
● Explosive hydrogen gas is always pres-
ent in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the
battery.
● Do not allow battery fluid to come into
contact with eyes, skin, clothing or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a cor-
rosive sulfuric acid solution which can
cause severe burns. If the fluid should
come into contact with anything, imme-
diately flush the contacted area with
water.
● Keep battery out of the reach of
children.
● The booster battery must be rated at
12 volts. Use of an improperly rated
battery can damage your vehicle. ●
Whenever working on or near a battery,
always wear suitable eye protectors (for
example, goggles or industrial safety
spectacles) and remove rings, metal
bands, or any other jewelry. Do not lean
over the battery when jump starting.
● Do not attempt to jump start a frozen
battery. It could explode and cause se-
rious injury.
JUMP STARTING
In case of emergency6-11

WARNING
Always follow the instructions below. Fail-
ure to do so could result in damage to the
charging system and cause personal
injury.1. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, position the two vehicles to bring their bat-
teries near each other.
Do not allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply the parking brake. Move the shift lever to P (Park) . Switch off all unnecessary elec-
trical systems (lights, heater, air conditioner,
etc.) . 3. Ensure the vent caps are level and tight.
4. Connect jumper cables in the sequence il-
lustrated (A,B,C,D).
CAUTION
●Always connect positive () to positive
() and negative () to body ground (for
example, strut mounting bolt, engine
lift bracket, etc.) — not to the battery.
● Make sure the jumper cables do not
touch moving parts in the engine com-
partment and that the cable clamps do
not contact any other metal. 5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and
let it run for a few minutes.
6. Keep the engine speed of the booster ve- hicle at about 2,000 rpm, and start the en-
gine of the vehicle being jump started.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor engaged for
more than 10 seconds. If the engine does
not start right away, turn the key off and
wait 3 to 4 seconds before trying again.
7. After starting the engine, carefully discon- nect the negative cable and then the positive
cable.

6-12In case of emergency

CAUTION
●Do not push start this vehicle. The
three-way catalyst may be damaged.
● Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) models cannot be push-started or
tow-started. Attempting to do so may
cause transmission damage.
WARNING
● Do not continue to drive if your vehicle
overheats. Doing so could cause engine
damage or a vehicle fire.
● To avoid the danger of being scalded,
never remove the radiator or coolant
reservoir cap while the engine is still
hot. When the radiator or coolant reser-
voir cap is removed, pressurized hot
water will spurt out, possibly causing
serious injury.
● Do not open the hood if steam is com-
ing out.
● Overheating can result in reduced en-
gine power and vehicle speed. The re-
duced speed may be lower than other
traffic, which could increase the chance
of a collision. Be especially careful
when driving. If the vehicle cannot
maintain a safe driving speed, pull to
the side of the road in a safe area. Allow
the engine to cool and return to normal
operation. If your vehicle is overheating (indicated by an
extremely high temperature gauge reading and
the illumination of the engine oil pressure/engine
coolant temperature high indicator light) , or if you
feel a lack of engine power, detect abnormal
noise, etc., take the following steps.
1. Move the vehicle safely off the road, apply the parking brake and move the shift lever to
P (Park) .
Do not stop the engine.
2. Turn off the air conditioner. Open all the windows, move the heater or air conditioner
temperature control to maximum hot and fan
control to high speed.
3. Get out of the vehicle. Look and listen for steam or coolant escaping from the radiator
before opening the hood. If steam or coolant
is escaping, turn off the engine. Do not open
the hood further until no steam or coolant
can be seen.
4. Open the engine hood.
WARNING
If steam or water is coming from the en-
gine, stand clear to prevent getting
burned.
PUSH STARTING IF YOUR VEHICLE OVERHEATS
In case of emergency6-13

5. Visually check drive belts for damage orlooseness. Also check if the cooling fan is
running. The radiator hoses and radiator
should not leak water. If coolant is leaking,
the water pump belt is missing or loose, or
the cooling fan does not run, stop the en-
gine.
WARNING
Be careful not to allow your hands, hair,
jewelry or clothing to come into contact
with, or get caught in, engine belts or the
engine cooling fan. The engine cooling fan
can start at any time.
6. After the engine cools down, check the cool- ant level in the engine coolant reservoir tank
with the engine running. Add coolant to the
engine coolant reservoir tank if necessary. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. When towing your vehicle, all state and local
regulations for towing must be followed. Incor-
rect towing equipment could damage your ve-
hicle. Towing instructions are available from a
NISSAN dealer. Local service operators are gen-
erally familiar with the applicable laws and proce-
dures for towing. To assure proper towing and to
prevent accidental damage to your vehicle,
NISSAN recommends having a service operator
tow your vehicle. It is advisable to have the ser-
vice operator carefully read the following precau-
tions:
WARNING
●
Never ride in a vehicle that is being
towed.
● Never get under your vehicle after it has
been lifted by a tow truck.
CAUTION
● When towing, make sure that the trans-
mission, axles, steering system and
powertrain are in working condition. If
any of these conditions apply, dollies or
a flatbed tow truck must be used.
● Always attach safety chains before
towing. For additional information about towing your ve-
hicle behind a recreational vehicle (RV) , refer to
“Flat towing” in the “Technical and consumer
information” section of this manual.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
6-14In case of emergency

TOWING RECOMMENDED BY
NISSAN
NISSAN recommends that your vehicle be towed
with the driving (front) wheels off the ground or
place the vehicle on a flat bed truck as illustrated.
CAUTION
●Never tow Continuously Variable Trans-
mission (CVT) models with the front
wheels on the ground or four wheels on
the ground (forward or backward) , as
this may cause serious and expensive
damage to the transmission. If it is nec-
essary to tow the vehicle with the rear
wheels raised always use towing dollies
under the front wheels.
● When towing Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT) models with the
front wheels on towing dollies:
– Place the ignition switch in the OFF position, and secure the steering
wheel in a straight-ahead position
with a rope or similar device.
– Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position.
● When towing Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT) models with the
rear wheels on the ground (if you do not
use towing dollies): Always release the
parking brake.
