FOG LIGHTS (if so equipped)
For additional information on fog light bulb
replacement, refer to the instructions out-
lined in this section.
Replacing the fog light bulb
If fog light bulb replacement is required, it is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
CAUTION
∙ High pressure halogen gas is sealed inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may
break if the glass envelope is
scratched or the bulb is dropped.
∙ When handling the bulb, do not touch the glass envelope.
∙ Use the same number and wattage as originally installed as shown in the
chart.
∙ Do not leave the bulb out of the fog light for a long period of time as dust,
moisture and smoke may enter the
fog light body and affect the perfor-
mance of the fog light.

TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with TPMS. It
monitors tire pressure of all tires ex-
cept the spare. When the low tire
pressure warning light is lit and the
CHECK TIRE PRES (pressure) warning
message is displayed in the odom-
eter, one or more of your tires is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.
TPMS will activate only when the ve-
hicle 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 additional information, refer to
“Low tire pressure warning light” in the
“Instruments and controls” section,
“Tire Pressure 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) of ten and always prior to
long distance trips. The recom-
mended tire pressure 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 af-
fixed 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 ob-
jects 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 af ter 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 af-
fect tire life and vehicle handling.
WARNING
∙ Improperly inflated tires can fail suddenly and cause an
accident.
∙ The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certifica-
tion label. The vehicle weight
capacity is indicated on the Tire
and Loading Information label. Do not load your vehicle beyond
this capacity. Overloading your
vehicle may result in reduced
tire life, unsafe operating condi-
tions due to premature tire fail-
ure, or unfavorable handling
characteristics and could also
lead to a serious accident. Load-
ing beyond the specified capac-
ity may also result in failure of
other vehicle components.
∙ Before taking a long trip, or whenever you heavily load your
vehicle, use a tire pressure
gauge to ensure that the tire
pressures are at the specified
level.
∙ For additional information re- garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.

Tire and Loading Information
label
1Seating capacity: The maximum
number of occupants that can
be seated in the vehicle.
2Vehicle load limit: Refer to “Ve-
hicle loading information” in the
“Technical and consumer infor-
mation” section of this manual.
3Original tire size: The size of the
tires originally installed on the
vehicle at the factory.
4Cold tire pressure: Inflate the
tires to this pressure when the
tires are cold. Tires are consid-
ered COLD af ter the vehicle has
been parked for 3 or more hours,
or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)
at moderate speeds. The rec-
ommended cold tire inflation is
set by the manufacturer to pro-
vide the best balance of tire
wear, vehicle handling, driveabil-
ity, tire noise, etc., up to the vehi-
cle’s GVWR.
5Tire size: Refer to “Tire labeling” in

Checking tire pressure
1. Remove the valve stem cap fromthe tire.
2. Press the pressure gauge squarely onto the valve stem. Do
not press too hard or force the
valve stem sideways, or air will
escape. If the hissing sound of air
escaping from the tire is heard
while checking the pressure, re-
position the gauge to eliminate
this leakage.
3. Remove the gauge. 4.
Read the tire pressure on the
gauge stem and compare to the
specification shown on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label or 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.

TIRE LABELING
Federal law requires tire manufac-
turers to place standardized infor-
mation on the sidewall of all tires.
This information identifies and de-
scribes the fundamental character-
istics of the tire and also provides the
Tire Identification Number (TIN) for
safety standard certification. The TIN
can be used to identif y the tire in
case of a recall.

1. P: The “P” indicates the tire is de- signed for passenger vehicles
(not all tires have this informa-
tion).
2. Three-digit number (215): This number gives the width in milli-
meters of the tire from sidewall
edge to sidewall edge. 3. Two-digit number (65): This
number, known as the aspect
ratio, gives the tire’s ratio of
height to width.
4. R: The “R” stands for radial.
5. Two-digit number (15): This num- ber is the wheel or rim diameter
in inches. 6. Two- or three-digit number (95):
This number is the tire’s load in-
dex. It is a measurement of how
much weight each tire can sup-
port. You may not find this infor-
mation 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.
