8. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutesor 2 miles (3 km) at a speed of 50 MPH (80
km/h) or less.
9. After driving, make sure that the air com- pressor switch is in the OFF position, then
screw the hose securely onto the tire valve.
Check the tire pressure with the pressure
gauge. The temporary repair is completed if
the tire pressure does not drop.
Make sure the pressure is adjusted to the
pressure that is specified on the tire and
loading information label before driving.
10. If the tire pressure drops, repeat the steps from 5 to 9. If the pressure drops again or
under 19 psi (130 kPa), the tire cannot be
repaired with this tire repair kit. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this servicing.
The sealant bottle and hose can not be
reused to repair another punctured tire. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer to
purchase replacements.
After repairing tireGUID-534A21F6-74BB-4F0A-8B77-94399139D156It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
tire repair/replacement 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 50 MPH (80 km/h) .
. Immediately after using Emergency
Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire
puncture, take your vehicle to in-
spect, and repair or replace the tire.
It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. The
Emergency Tire Sealant cannot per-
manently seal a punctured tire.
Continuing operation of the vehicle
without a permanent tire repair can
lead to a crash.
. NISSAN recommends using only
Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tire
Sealant provided with your vehicle.
Other tire sealants may damage the
valve stem seal which can cause the
tire to lose air pressure. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
as soon as possible after using tire
repair sealant.

7-4Appearance and care
damage the vehicle finish.
Machine compound or aggressive polishing on a
base coat/clear coat paint finish may dull the
finish or leave swirl marks.
REMOVING SPOTSGUID-1D190F5C-DDE4-443D-84F6-02902047619ARemove tar and oil spots, industrial dust,
insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible
from the paint surface to avoid lasting damage
or staining. Special cleaning products are
available at a NISSAN dealer or any automotive
accessory stores.
UNDERBODYGUID-B4A3FC99-8342-414A-ACE0-C7B9B855D13EIn areas where road salt is used in winter, the
underbody must be cleaned regularly. This will
prevent dirt and salt from building up and
causing the acceleration of corrosion on the
underbody and suspension. Before the winter
period and again in the spring, the underseal
must be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.
GLASSGUID-C42DFAFC-9E05-4F03-9AC2-1BC6EC075C12Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust
film from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass
to become coated with a film after the vehicle is
parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft
cloth will easily remove this film.
CAUTION
. When cleaning the inside of the
windows, do not use sharp-edged
tools, abrasive cleaners or chlorine-
based disinfectant cleaners. They
could damage the electrical conduc-
tors, radio antenna elements or rear
window defroster elements.
. If glass cleaner gets on the soft top,
immediately wash it off with clean
water (Roadster models) .
WHEELSGUID-FB4B77F8-E020-4111-875C-746F1B0EDEE1Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to
maintain their appearance.
.Clean the inner side of the wheels when the
wheel is changed or the underside of the
vehicle is washed.
. Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or
corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of
pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.
. NISSAN recommends that the road wheels
be waxed to protect against road salt in
areas where it is used during winter.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive cleaners when
washing the wheels.
Aluminum alloy wheelsGUID-F067E84F-FE8D-4C96-ADE0-559A71AFAE46Wash regularly with a sponge dampened in a
mild soap solution, especially during winter
months in areas where road salt is used. Salt
could discolor the wheels if not removed.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid
staining or discoloring the wheels:
.Do not use a cleaner that uses
strong acid or alkali contents to
clean the wheels.
. Do not apply wheel cleaners to the
wheels when they are hot. The
wheel temperature should be the
same as ambient temperature.
. Rinse the wheel to completely re-
move the cleaner within 15 minutes
after the cleaner is applied.

TIRE PRESSUREGUID-EEDF975E-59AB-474A-97F4-DEF110103167
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)GUID-5670B8F2-EC94-4840-BB0A-4757F4E686E6This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) . It monitors tire
pressure of all tires except the spare. When
the low tire pressure warning light is lit and the
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning appears on
the vehicle information display, one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated.
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) .
Also, this system may not detect a sudden drop
in tire pressure (for example a flat tire while
driving) .
For more details, see ªLow tire pressure warning
lightº (P.2-13) , ªTire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)º (P.5-3) and ªTire Pressure Mon-
itoring System (TPMS)º (P.6-3) .
Tire inflation pressureGUID-7E53980F-5A59-4547-AC6A-8D1943FC5679
Check the pressure of the tires (including
the spare) often and always prior to long
distance trips. The recommended tire
pressure specifications are shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label under
the ªCold Tire Pressureº heading. TheTire and Loading Information label is
affixed to the driver side center pillar.
Tire pressures should be checked reg-
ularly because:
.
Most tires naturally lose air over time.
. Tires can lose air suddenly when
driven over potholes or other objects
or if the vehicle strikes a curb while
parking.
The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle has
been parked for 3 or more hours, or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at
moderate speeds.
Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely affect
tire life and vehicle handling.WARNING
. Improperly inflated tires can
fail suddenly and cause an
accident. .
The Gross Vehicle Weight rat-
ing (GVWR) is located on the F.
M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label. The
vehicle weight capacity is in-
dicated on the Tire and Load-
ing Information label. Do not
load your vehicle beyond this
capacity. Overloading your ve-
hicle may result in reduced tire
life, unsafe operating condi-
tions due to premature tire
failure, or unfavorable hand-
ling characteristics and could
also lead to a serious accident.
Loading beyond the specified
capacity may also result in
failure of other vehicle compo-
nents.
. Before taking a long trip, or
whenever you heavily load
your vehicle, use a tire pres-
sure gauge to ensure that the
tire pressures are at the spe-
cified level.

Checking the tire pressureGUID-F869270E-E76B-4E6D-B383-8FB9B8C4051F
1. Remove the valve stem cap from thetire.
2. Press the pressure gauge squarely onto the valve stem. Do not press too
hard or force the valve stem side-
ways, or air will escape. If the hissing
sound of air escaping from the tire is
heard while checking the pressure,
reposition the gauge to eliminate this
leakage.
3. Remove the gauge. 4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge
stem and compare it to the specifica-
tion shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label.
5. Add air to the tire as needed. If too much air is added, press the core of
the valve stem briefly with the tip of
the gauge stem to release pressure.
Recheck the pressure and add or
release air as needed.
6. Install the valve stem cap.
7. Check the pressure of all other tires, including the spare.Coupe models (except for NISMO models):GUID-4F1FDCA7-1B6C-42D9-A1EA-B79D7D84AAAC
