CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
If you have a flat tire, follow the instruc-
tions below.
Stopping the vehicle
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road
and away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.

5. Securely screw to connect the T-shaped end of the jack rod and the
extension bar
as illustrated.
6. Fit the square end of the jack rod into the square hole of the wheel nut
wrench to form a handle
. 7. Locate the oval opening above the
middle of the rear bumper.
8. Place the T-shaped end of the jack rod through the opening and direct it
towards the spare wheel winch as-
sembly, located directly above the
spare wheel.
SCE0916
CAUTION
Do not insert the jack rod straight as
it is designed to be inserted at an
angle as shown.
9. Seat the T-shaped end of the jack rod into the T-shaped opening of the
spare wheel winch. Apply pressure to
keep the jack rod engaged in the
spare wheel winch and turn the jack
rod counterclockwise to lower the
spare wheel.

10. Once the spare wheel is completelylowered, remove the jack rod and
reach under the vehicle to remove
the hanging plate.
11. Carefully slide the spare wheel from under the rear of the vehicle.
After preparing the spare tire, to remove
the rod, pull out the rod while moving the
rod to the right and left with the screw of
the extension facing the side.
CAUTION
When storing the wheel, make sure
that the hanging plate is in the center of the wheel and then lift it
up into the storage area.

2. Loosen each wheel nut one or twoturns by turning counterclockwise
with the wheel nut wrench. Do not
remove the wheel nuts until the tire
is off the ground.

3. Install the assembled jack rod into the
jack as shown.
4. Carefully raise the vehicle until the clearance between the tire and
ground is achieved.
5. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever and rod with both hands
and turn the jack lever.
NOTE:
Before jacking up the vehicle, make
sure the ignition switch is placed in
the OFF position. If the vehicle is lifted

Installing the spare tire
1. Clean any mud or dirt from the sur-face between 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 (
,,,,,) until they are tight.
4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire touches the ground. Then, with the
wheel nut wrench, tighten the wheel
nuts securely in the sequence as
illustrated. Lower the vehicle comple-
tely.
WARNING
.Incorrect wheel nuts or impro-
perly 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 vehicle 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: 98 ft-lb (133 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept
tightened to specification at all
times. It is recommended that
wheel nuts be tightened to speci-
fications at each lubrication inter-
val.
.Adjust tire pressure to the COLDpressure.
COLD pressure:
After the vehicle has been parked

for three 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.
After adjusting tire pressure to the COLD
tire pressure, the display of the tire
pressure information may show higher
pressure than the COLD tire pressure
after the vehicle has been driven more
than 1 mile (1.6 km). This is because the
tire pressurizes as the tire temperature
rises. This does not indicate a system
malfunction.Stowing the damaged tire and
tools
1. Securely store the damaged tire, jack and tools in the storage area.
2. Close the cargo floor cover.
3. Replace the cargo floor board.
4. Close the liftgate.
WARNING
Always make sure that the spare tire
and jacking equipment are properly
secured after use. Such items can
become dangerous projectiles in an
accident or sudden stop.

TOWING RECOMMENDED BY
NISSAN
Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) models
NISSAN recommends that your vehicle be
towed with the driving (rear) wheels off
the ground or place the vehicle on a flat
bed truck as illustrated.
CAUTION
.Never tow automatic transmis-
sion models with the rear wheels
on the ground or four wheels on
the ground (forward or back- ward), as this may cause serious
and expensive damage to the
transmission. If it is necessary to
tow the vehicle with the front
wheels raised, always use towing
dollies under the rear wheels.
. When towing rear wheel drive
models with the front wheels on
the ground or on towing dollies:
Place the ignition in the ACC or ON
position, and secure the steering
wheel in a straight-ahead posi-
tion with a rope or similar device.
