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

TIRE LABELINGGUID-9A2BB1B8-1594-4EA6-AE39-1ECE22369400
Federal law requires tire manufacturers
to place standardized information on the
sidewall of all tires. This information
identifies and describes the fundamental
characteristics of the tire and also
provides the tire identification number
(TIN) for safety standard certification.
The TIN can be used to identify the tire
in case of a recall.
SDI1606
Example
*1Tire size (example: P215/60R16
94H)
1.
P: The ªPº indicates the tire is
designed for passenger vehicles.
(Not all tires have this information.)
2. Three-digit number (215): This num- ber gives the width in millimeters of
the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall
edge.
3. Two-digit number (60): This number, known as the aspect ratio, gives the
tire's ratio of height to width.

4. R: The ªRº stands for radial.
5. Two-digit number (16): This numberis the wheel or rim diameter in inches.
6. Two- or three-digit number (94): This number is the tire's load index. It is a
measurement of how much weight
each tire can support. You may not
find this information on all tires
because it is not required by law.
7. H: Tire speed rating. You should not drive the vehicle faster than the tire
speed rating.

Example
*2TIN (Tire Identification Number) for a
new tire (example: DOT XX XX XXX
XXXX)
1. DOT: Abbreviation for the ªDepart-ment of Transportationº. The symbol
can be placed above, below or to the
left or right of the Tire Identification
Number.
2. Two-digit code: Manufacturer's iden- tification mark
3. Two-digit code: Tire size 4.
Three-digit code: Tire type code
(Optional)
5. Four numbers represent the week
and year the tire was built. For
example, the numbers 3103 means
the 31st week of 2003. If these
numbers are missing, then look on
the other sidewall of the tire.
*3Tire ply composition and material
The number of layers or plies of
rubber-coated fabric in the tire.
Tire manufacturers also must
indicate the materials in the tire,
which include steel, nylon, polye-
ster, and others.
*4Maximum permissible inflation pres-
sure
This number is the greatest
amount of air pressure that
should be put in the tire. Do not
exceed the maximum permissible
inflation pressure.
*5Maximum load rating
This number indicates the max-
imum load in kilograms and

pounds that can be carried by
the tire. When replacing the tires
on the vehicle, always use a tire
that has the same load rating as
the factory installed tire.
*6Term of ªtubelessº or ªtube typeº
Indicates whether the tire re-
quires an inner tube (ªtube typeº)
or not (ªtubelessº).
*7The word ªradialº
The word ªradialº is shown, if the
tire has radial structure.
*8Manufacturer or brand name
Manufacturer or brand name is
shown.
Other tire-related terminology:
In addition to the many terms that are
defined throughout this section, Intended
Outboard Sidewall is (1) the sidewall
that contains a whitewall, bears white
lettering or bears manufacturer, brand
and/or model name molding that is
higher or deeper than the same molding
on the other sidewall of the tire, or (2) the
outward facing sidewall of an asymme-trical tire that has a particular side that
must always face outward when
mounted on a vehicle.
TYPES OF TIRES
GUID-759580C7-D81B-4D50-9FD2-4567F5D6545E
WARNING
.
When changing or replacing tires,
be sure all four tires are of the same
type (Example: Summer, All Season
or Snow) and construction. A
NISSAN dealer may be able to help
you with information about tire type,
size, speed rating and availability.
. Replacement tires may have a lower
speed rating than the factory
equipped tires, and may not match
the potential maximum vehicle
speed. Never exceed the maximum
speed rating of the tire.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
. For additional information regard-
ing tires, refer to ªImportant Tire
Safety Informationº (US) orªTire
Safety Informationº (Canada) in the Warranty Information Booklet.
All season tiresGUID-B2669784-76C5-43E8-8E16-E7F77F372F57NISSAN specifies all season tires on some
models to provide good performance all year,
including snowy and icy road conditions. All
Season tires are identified by ALL SEASON
and/or M&S (Mud and Snow) on the tire
sidewall. Snow tires have better snow traction
than All Season tires and may be more appro-
priate in some areas.
Summer tiresGUID-F3ED94EB-3952-42A0-831A-DC9822960777NISSAN specifies summer tires on some
models to provide superior performance on dry
roads. Summer tire performance is substantially
reduced in snow and ice. Summer tires do not
have the tire traction rating M&S on the tire
sidewall.
If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy or
icy conditions, NISSAN recommends the use of
SNOW tires or ALL SEASON tires on all four
wheels.
