5. Have all passengers get out of the vehicleand stand in a safe place, away from traffic
and clear of the vehicle.
WARNING
●Make sure the parking brake is securely
applied and the shift lever is shifted into
P (Park) .
● Never repair tires when the vehicle is on
a slope, ice or slippery areas. This is
hazardous.
● Never repair tires if oncoming traffic is
close to your vehicle. Wait for profes-
sional road assistance.
Locating the emergency tire repair kit
Take out the emergency tire puncture repair kit
located under the passenger seat. The repair kit
consists of the following items:
1. Tire sealant bottle
2. Air compressor
3. Speed restriction sticker NOTE:
For models with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit, a spare tire, jack and rod may
not be equipped as standard. These parts
may be dealer options. Contact a NISSAN
dealer about obtaining these parts. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Changing a
flat tire” in the “In case of emergencies”
section of this manual.
Before using the emergency tire repair
kit
The emergency tire repair kit is not appropriate
for the following situations. It will be necessary to
contact a professional towing service in the fol-
lowing situations:
● The emergency repair kit’s shelf life has ex-
pired.
● Cuts or punctures exceed approximately
0.2 in (4 mm) .
● The tire sidewall is damaged.
● The tire is extremely low on air.
● The tire has come off of the inside or outside
of the wheel.
● The wheel is damaged.
● The tire is punctured more than once.
Performing emergency repairs
WARNING
Observe the following precautions when
using the tire repair compound.
●Swallowing the compound is danger-
ous. Immediately drink as much water
as possible and seek prompt medical
assistance.
● Rinse well with lots of water if com-
pound comes into contact with skin or
eyes. If irritation persists seek prompt
medical attention.
● Keep the repair compound out of reach
of children.
● The emergency repair compound may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Have the tire
pressure sensor replaced as soon as
possible.

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.
LCE2055
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.

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.

There are two options to recover a stuck vehicle:
pulling and rocking. For additional information
regarding these options, please refer to the fol-
lowing sections.
Pulling a stuck vehicle
WARNING
To avoid vehicle damage, serious personal
injury or death when recovering a stuck
vehicle:
●Contact a professional towing service
to recover the vehicle if you have any
questions regarding the recovery
procedure.
● Attach recovery devices only to main
structural members of the vehicle or the
recovery hooks.
● Do not use the vehicle tie-downs to tow
or free a stuck vehicle.
● Only use devices specifically designed
for vehicle recovery and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. ●
