2016 NISSAN TITAN service indicator

Be careful not to let anything get into the washer
nozzle
D. This may cause clogging or improper
windshield–washer operation. If something gets
into the nozzle, remove it with a needle or small
pin
C. If the brakes do not operate properly, it is recom-
mended that you have the brakes checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
Self-adjusting brakes
Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting
brakes.
The front and rear disc-type brakes self-adjust
every time the brake pedal is applied.
WARNING
Have your brake system checked if the
brake pedal height does not return to nor-
mal. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Brake pad wear indicators
The disc brake pads on your vehicle have audible
wear indicators. When a brake pad requires re-
placement, a high pitched scraping or screech-
ing sound will be heard when the vehicle is in
motion. The noise will be heard whether or not the
brake pedal is depressed. Have the brakes
checked as soon as possible if the wear indicator
sound is heard.
Under some driving or climate conditions, occa-
sional brake squeak, squeal or other noise may
be heard. Occasional brake noise during light to
moderate stops is normal and does not affect the
function or performance of the brake system.
Proper brake inspection intervals should
be followed.
For additional information on the
appropriate maintenance schedule regarding
brake inspections, refer to “Standard mainte-
nance” and “Maintenance under severe operat-
ing conditions” in the “Maintenance” section of
this manual.

Wheel nut tightening torque:131 ft-lb (177 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tight-
ened to specifications at all times. It
is recommended that wheel nuts be
tightened to specification at each
tire rotation interval.
WARNING
● Retighten the wheel nuts when
the vehicle has been driven for
600 miles (1,000 km) (also in
cases of a flat tire, etc.) .
● Do not include the spare tire in
the tire rotation.
● For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet. ●
After rotating the tires, do not use
the Easy Fill Tire Alert to adjust
the tire pressure. Instead use a
gauge to adjust the tires to the
correct pressure in accordance
with Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label.CAUTION
To ensure proper operation of the
Easy Fill Tire Alert system after a
tire rotation, re-set and register the
sensor to their new installed loca-
tions. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
Tire wear and damage
1. Wear indicator
2. Location mark
WARNING
● Tires should be periodically in-
spected for wear, cracking, bulg-
ing or objects caught in the tread.
If excessive wear, cracks, bulging
or deep cuts are found, the tire(s)
should be replaced.
WDI0259
Do-it-yourself8-39

●The original tires have built-in
tread wear indicators. When the
wear indicators are visible, the
tire(s) should be replaced.
● Tires degrade with age and use.
Have tires, including the spare,
over 6 years old checked by a
qualified technician because
some tire damage may not be ob-
vious. Replace the tires as neces-
sary to prevent tire failure and
possible personal injury.
● Improper service of the spare tire
may result in serious personal in-
jury. If it is necessary to repair the
spare tire, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
● For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.Replacing wheels and tires
When replacing a tire, use the same size, tread
design, speed rating and load carrying capacity
as originally equipped. For additional information,
refer to “Wheels and tires” in the “Technical and
consumer information” section of this manual.
WARNING
● The use of tires other than those recom-
mended or the mixed use of tires of
different brands, construction (bias,
bias-belted or radial) , or tread patterns
can adversely affect the ride, braking,
handling, Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system, ground clearance, body-
to-tire clearance, tire chain clearance,
speedometer calibration, headlight aim
and bumper height. Some of these ef-
fects may lead to accidents and could
result in serious personal injury.
● If your vehicle was originally equipped
with 4 tires that were the same size and
you are only replacing 2 of the 4 tires,
install the new tires on the rear axle.
Placing new tires on the front axle may
cause loss of vehicle control in some
driving conditions and cause an acci-
dent and personal injury. ●
If the wheels are changed for any rea-
son, always replace with wheels which
have the same off-set dimension.
Wheels of a different off-set could
cause premature tire wear, degrade ve-
hicle handling characteristics, affect the
VDC system and/or interference with
the brake discs. Such interference can
lead to decreased braking efficiency
and/or early brake pad wear. For addi-
tional information on wheel off-set di-
mensions, refer to “Wheels and tires” in
the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.
● Since the spare tire is not equipped with
the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted
or a wheel is replaced, tire pressure will
not be indicated, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately
1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. Have your tires replaced
and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
● Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by NISSAN could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.

duty cycle) increases.
Instrument Panel2-7

●If the “Low Fuel Pressure Service Fuel
System” message is displayed on the
vehicle information display with the
engine running, complete a full key
cycle and restart the vehicle. If the mes-
sage is still displayed or the Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light is illuminated after
a full key cycle , it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for service.
WARNING
● The fuel system (fuel pump, high pres-
sure fuel lines, fuel rail, injectors) con-
tain very high pressure fuel. To avoid the
risk of personal injury or fire;
– Do not loosen any fittings while the engine is running.
– Wait at least 10 minutes after shut- ting down the engine before loosen-
ing any fittings in the high-pressure
fuel system to allow pressure to de-
crease to a lower level.
– Wear appropriate eye protection and protective equipment as high-
pressure fuel spray can penetrate the
skin. – Never smoke or allow sparks or
flames (such as pilot lights, electrical
switches, or welding equipment) in
the work area. Never allow diesel fuel
to spill onto a hot exhaust manifold
which can cause a fire.
● Depending on the circumstance, diesel
fuel is flammable. When inspecting or
performing service or repairs on the fuel
system, to reduce the possibility of fire
and resulting severe personal injury,
death, or property damage, never
smoke or allow sparks or flames (such
as pilot lights, electrical switches, or
welding equipment) in the work area.
● Do not vent the fuel system on a hot
engine; this can cause fuel to spill onto
a hot exhaust manifold, which can
cause a fire.
● Batteries can emit explosive gases. To
reduce the possibility of personal injury,
always ventilate the compartment be-
fore servicing the batteries. To reduce
the possibility of arcing, remove the
negative (-) battery cable first and at-
tach the negative (-) battery cable last. ●
When using a steam cleaner, wear
safety glasses or a face shield, as well
as protective clothing. Hot steam can
cause serious personal injury.
● Wear appropriate eye and face protec-
tion when using compressed air. Flying
debris and dirt can cause personal
injury.
CAUTION
Clean all around the filter area before dis-
assembly. Dirt or contaminants can dam-
age the fuel system.
