2016 NISSAN QASHQAI Maintenance

WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and
tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out
of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
Wheel balance service should be performed with
the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing the front
wheels on the vehicle could lead to transmission
damage.
SPARE TYRE
The temporary-use spare wheel/tyre can be identi-
fied by the temporary-use spare tyre label which
contrasts to the standard road wheels. If in doubt,
contact a NISSAN dealer, qualified workshop or
see “Spare tyre” in the “6. In case of emergency”
section.
Emergency tyre puncture repair kit
(where fitted)
The emergency tyre puncture repair kit is supplied
to the vehicle instead of a spare tyre. The repair kit
must be used for temporarily fixing a minor tyre
puncture. After using the repair kit, see a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop as soon as possible for
tyre inspection and repair/replacement.
CAUTION
Do not use the emergency tyre puncture repair
kit under the following conditions. Contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop or profes-
sional road assistance.
•when the sealant has passed its expiration
date (shown on the label attached to the seal-
ant bottle)
•when the cut or the puncture is approximately
4 mm (0.16 in) or longer
•when the side of the tyre is damaged
•when the vehicle has been driven with a con-
siderable loss of air from the tyre
•when the tyre is completely displaced inside
or outside the rim
•when the tyre rim is damaged
•when two or more tyres are flat
See “Spare tyre” in the “6. In case of emergency”
section for more details.
CARE OF WHEELS
For details, see “Care of wheels” in the “7. Appear-
ance and care” section.

*2: Use Genuine NISSAN engine coolant, or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminium corrosion within the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine
engine coolant.Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be covered by the warranty, even
if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for more information regarding the coolant type and capacity.
*3:Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the war-
ranty.
