2017 NISSAN VERSA NOTE spare tire

WARNING
●Make sure the parking brake is securely
applied and the manual transmission is
shifted into R (Reverse) , or the Continu-
ously Variable Transmission (CVT) into
P (Park) .
● Never change tires when the vehicle is
on a slope, ice or slippery areas. This is
hazardous.
● Never change tires if oncoming traffic is
close to your vehicle. Wait for profes-
sional road assistance.
A. Blocks
B. Flat tire
Blocking wheels
Place suitable blocks at both the front and back
of the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire to
prevent the vehicle from moving when it is jacked
up.
WARNING
Be sure to block the wheel as the vehicle
may move and result in personal injury.

Always refer to the proper illustrations for the
correct placement and jack-up points for your
specific vehicle model and jack type.
Carefully read the caution label attached to
the jack body and the following instruc-
tions.1. Loosen each wheel nut 1 or 2 turns by turning counterclockwise with the wheel nut
wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts
until the tire is off the ground.
2. Place the jack directly under the jack-up point as illustrated so the top of the jack
contacts the vehicle at the jack-up point.
Align the jack head between the 2 notches in the front or the rear as shown. Also fit the
groove of the jack head between the
notches as shown.
The jack should be used on firm and
level ground.
3. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever and rod with both hands. Carefully raise the
vehicle until the tire clears the ground. Re-
move the wheel nuts, and then remove the
tire.Installing the spare tire
The spare tire is designed for emergency
use. For additional information, refer to
“Wheels and tires” in the “Do-it-yourself”
section of this manual.
1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface be- tween the wheel and hub.
2. Carefully put the spare tire on and tighten the wheel nuts finger tight.
3. With the wheel nut wrench, tighten wheel nuts alternately and evenly in the sequence
illustrated (
A,B,C,D) until they are
tight.

4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tiretouches the ground. Then, with the wheel
nut wrench, tighten the wheel nuts securely
in the sequence illustrated (
A,B,C,D).
Lower the vehicle completely.
WARNING
● Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause the
wheel to become loose or come off.
This could cause an accident.
● Do not use oil or grease on the wheel
studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts
to become loose.
● Retighten the wheel nuts when the ve-
hicle has been driven for 600 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.) .
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts
to the specified torque with a torque
wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque: 83 ft-lb (113 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specification at all times. It is recom-
mended that wheel nuts be tightened to
specifications at each lubrication interval. Adjust the tire pressure to the COLD pres-
sure.
COLD pressure: After vehicle has been
parked for 3 hours or more or driven less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) .
COLD tire pressures are shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label affixed to
the driver side center pillar.
5. Securely store the flat tire and jacking equip- ment in the vehicle.
WARNING
●Always make sure that the spare tire
and jacking equipment are properly se-
cured after use. Such items can become
dangerous projectiles in an accident or
sudden stop.
● The spare tire is designed for emer-
gency use. For additional information,
refer to “Wheels and tires” in the “Do-
it-yourself” section of this manual
Reinstalling the temporary spare tire to
its original position
After the flat tire is repaired, return the temporary
spare to its original position in the tire basket
under the rear of the vehicle. 1. Open the hatch.
2. Remove the luggage floor.
3. Loosen bolt
1counterclockwise approxi-
mately 20 turns using the wheel nut wrench
and wrench extension to lower the tire bas-
ket.
4. Stop turning the bolt when the tire basket is lowered to a place where it can be removed
from the hook. Do not loosen the bolt
excessively, otherwise the basket may
fall suddenly.

7. The hook must
engage from the inside of the basket. 8. Tighten the bolt8clockwise until the bolt is
tight using the wheel nut wrench and
wrench extension to move the tire basket up
to the holding position.
WARNING
● Always make sure that the spare tire,
tire basket and jacking equipment are
properly secured after use. Such items
can become dangerous projectiles in an
accident or sudden stop.
● The spare tire is designed for emer-
gency use. For additional information,
refer to “Wheels and tires” in the “Do-
it-yourself” section of this manual.
● When reinstalling the spare tire basket
under the vehicle after use, be sure that
the hook engages the basket from the
inside. If the spare tire basket hook is
not engaged properly, there is an in-
creased risk of the spare tire separating
from the vehicle in a crash and causing
injury.

Stowing the damaged tire
Return the spare tire basket back to its original
position in the reverse order of removal. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Getting the spare
tire and tools” in this section.

56 ft–lb (75 N•m)
Securely store the jack and tools in the storage
area.
Securely store the damaged tire in the cargo area
as illustrated.NOTE:
The spare tire basket cannot be used to
store the conventional tire.
WARNING
●
Always make sure that the spare tire
and jacking equipment are properly se-
cured after each use. Such items can
become dangerous projectiles in an ac-
cident or sudden stop.
● Make sure that the spare tire basket is
properly secured in its original position
after removing the spare tire.
● The spare tire and small size spare tire
are designed for emergency use. For
additional information, refer to
“Wheels and tires” in the “Do-it-
yourself” section of this manual. To start your engine with a booster battery, the
instructions and precautions below must be fol-
lowed.
WARNING
●
If done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a battery explosion, resulting in
severe injury or death. It could also
damage your vehicle.
● Explosive hydrogen gas is always pres-
ent in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the
battery.
● Do not allow battery fluid to come into
contact with eyes, skin, clothing or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a cor-
rosive sulfuric acid solution which can
cause severe burns. If the fluid should
come into contact with anything, imme-
diately flush the contacted area with
water.
● Keep battery out of the reach of
children.
● The booster battery must be rated at
12 volts. Use of an improperly rated
battery can damage your vehicle.

the “In case of emergency” section of this
manual.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if so equipped)
This 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
PRES (pressure) warning message dis-
plays in the odometer, 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 de-
tect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example a flat tire while driving) .
For additional information, refer to “Low
tire pressure warning light” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section, “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the“Starting and driving” section, and “Flat
tire” in the “In case of emergency” section
of this manual.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including the
spare) often and always prior to long dis-
tance trips. The recommended tire pres-
sure specifications are shown on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label
or the Tire and Loading Information label
under the “Cold Tire Pressure” heading.
The Tire and Loading Information label is
affixed to the driver side center pillar. Tire
pressures should be checked regularly
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.
The TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert (if so
equipped) provides visual and audible
signals outside the vehicle for inflating
tires to the recommended COLD tire
pressure. For additional information, refer
to “TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
Incorrect tire pressure, including un-
der inflation, may adversely affect
tire life and vehicle handling.
