. The spare tire is designed for
emergency use. See specific in-
structions under the heading
“Wheels and tires” (P.8-26).
REPAIRING FLAT TIRE (for models
with emergency tire puncture re-
pair kit)
WARNING
.After using Emergency Tire Sea-
lant to repair a minor tire punc-
ture, do not drive the vehicle at
speeds faster than 50 MPH (80
km/h).
. Immediately after using the
Emergency Tire Sealant to repair
a minor tire puncture, take your vehicle to inspect, and repair or
replace the tire. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. The Emergency
Tire Sealant cannot permanently
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 vehi-
cle. Other tire sealants may da-
mage the valve stem seal which
can cause the tire to lose air
pressure. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible after using tire repair
sealant.
This vehicle does not have a spare tire.
The emergency tire puncture repair kit
(Emergency Tire Sealant) is supplied with
the vehicle instead of a spare tire. It can
be used to temporarily repair minor tire
punctures.
If possible, have the vehicle towed to a
facility that can repair or replace the flat
tire. Using the emergency tire puncture
repair kit may cause a malfunction of the
tire pressure sensor and cause the low
tire pressure warning light to illuminate. If you have a flat tire, follow the instruc-
tions below.
CAUTION
.
To avoid the emergency tire
puncture repair kit being da-
maged during storage or use:
— Only use the emergency tire
puncture repair kit on your
vehicle. Do not use it on other
vehicles.
— Only use the kit to inflate the tires of your vehicle and to
check the vehicle’s tire pres-
sure.
— Only plug the compressor into a 12V DC car power point.
— Keep the kit free of water and dirt.
— Do not disassemble or modify the kit.
— Do not drop the kit or allow hard impacts to the kit.
. Do not use the emergency tire
puncture repair kit under the
following conditions. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
or professional road assistance.

Getting emergency tire puncture
repair kit
Take out the emergency tire puncture
repair kit located under the cargo room
or in the trunk. The repair kit consists of
the following items:
Tire sealant bottleAir compressor*Speed restriction sticker
*: The compressor shape may differ
depending on the models.
NOTE:
For models with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit, a spare tire, jack
and rod are not equipped as standard.

These parts are dealer options. Contact
a NISSAN dealer about obtaining these
parts. See “Changing a flat tire (for
models with spare tire)” (P.6-4) for
usage of jacking tools and tire replace-
ment.
Before using emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit
.If any foreign object (for example, a
screw or nail) is embedded in the tire,
do not remove it.
. Check the expiration date of the
sealant (shown on the label attached
to the bottle). Never use a sealant
whose expiration date has passed.
Repairing tire
WARNING
Observe the following precautions
when using the tire repair com-
pound.
.Swallowing the compound is

6. Push the ignition switch to the “ACC”position. Then turn the compressor
switch to the ON (−) position and
inflate the tire up to the pressure that
is specified on the tire and loading
information label affixed to the driver’s
side center pillar if possible, or to the
minimum of 26 psi (180 kPa). Turn the
air compressor off briefly in order to
check the tire pressure with the pres-
sure gauge.
If the tire is inflated to higher than the
specified pressure, lower the tire pres-
sure by releasing air with the pressure
release valve. NOTE:
The compressor tire pressure gauge
may show a pressure reading of 87
psi (600 kPa) for about 30 seconds
while inflating the tire. The pressure
gauge is indicating the pressure in-
side the sealant can. When the
sealant has been injected into the
tire the pressure gauge will drop and
indicate actual tire pressure.
WARNING
.
To avoid serious personal injury
while using the emergency tire
puncture repair kit:
— Securely tighten the compres-
sor hose to the tire valve.
Failure to do so can cause
the sealant to spray into the
air and get into your eyes or
on the skin.
. Do not stand directly beside the
damaged tire while it is being
inflated because of the risk of
the rupture. If there are any
cracks or bumps, turn the com-
pressor off immediately.
If the tire pressure does not increase
to 26 psi (180 kPa) within 10 minutes,
the tire may be seriously damaged and
the tire cannot be repaired with
this tire repair kit. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for servicing.
7. When the tire pressure is at the specified amount, turn the air com-
pressor off. If the pressure cannot be
inflated to the specified amount, the
air compressor can be turned off at
the minimum of 26 psi (180 kPa).
Remove the power plug from the
power outlet and quickly remove the
hose from the tire valve. Attach the
protective cap and valve cap. Properly
stow the emergency tire puncture
repair kit in the trunk.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury
when stowing the emergency tire
puncture repair kit:
.Keep the sealant bottle screwed
into the compressor. Failure to do
so can cause the sealant to spray
into the air and get into your eyes
or on the skin.
8. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or 2 miles (3 km) at a speed of
50 MPH (80 km/h) or less.

To start your engine with a booster
battery, the instructions and precautions
below must be followed.
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
present 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. Bat-
tery fluid is a corrosive sulphuric
acid solution which can cause
severe burns. If the fluid should
come into contact with anything,
immediately flush the contacted
area with water.
. Keep the battery out of the reach
of children.
. The booster battery must be
rated at 12 volts. Use of an im-
properly rated battery can da-
mage your vehicle. .
Whenever working on or near a
battery, always wear suitable eye
protectors (for example, goggles
or industrial safety spectacles)
and remove rings, metal bands,
or any other jewelry. Do not lean
over the battery when jump start-
ing.
. Do not attempt to jump start a
frozen battery. It could explode
and cause serious injury.
. Your vehicle has an automatic
engine cooling fan. It could come
on at any time. Keep hands and
other objects away from it.
