Push the switch on to warn other drivers
when you must stop or park under emer-
gency conditions. All turn signal lights flash.
WARNING
∙ If stopping for an emergency, be sureto move the vehicle well off the road.
∙ Do not use the hazard warning flash- ers while moving on the highway un-
less unusual circumstances force you
to drive so slowly that your vehicle
might become a hazard to other
traffic. ∙ Turn signals do not work when the
hazard warning flasher lights are on.
The flashers will operate with the ignition
switch placed in any position.
Some jurisdictions may prohibit the use
of the hazard warning flasher switch
while driving.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with TPMS. It moni-
tors tire pressure of all tires except the
spare. When the low tire pressure warning
light is lit, and the TIRE PRES warning ap-
pears in the trip computer, one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Press the INFO knob on the instrument
panel located behind the steering wheel
for information about location(s) and pres-
sure(s) of the under-inflated tire(s). If the
vehicle is being driven with low tire pres-
sure, TPMS will activate and warn you of it
by the low tire pressure warning light. This
system will activate only when the vehicle
is driven at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h).
For additional information, refer to “Warn-
ing lights, indicator lights and audible re-
minders” in the “Instruments and controls”
section, and “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driving”
section of this manual.

WARNING
∙ Radio waves could adversely affectelectric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
∙ If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
the vehicle as soon as possible. Driv-
ing with under-inflated tires may per-
manently damage the tires and in-
crease the likelihood of tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label to turn the low tire pres-
sure warning light OFF. If you have a
flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as
soon as possible. ∙ When replacing a wheel without TPMS
such as the spare tire, TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain
on af ter 1 minute. Have your tires re-
placed and/or TPMS system reset as
soon as possible. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
these services.
∙ Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
∙ Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-
sure sensors.
CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions
below:
Stopping the vehicle
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and
away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. 3. Park on a level surface and apply the
parking brake. Move the shif t lever to P
(Park).
4. Turn off the engine.
5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic and to signal professional road assis-
tance personnel that you need assis-
tance.
6. Have all passengers get out of the ve- hicle and stand in a safe place, away
from traffic and clear of the vehicle.

shif ted 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 pro-
fessional road assistance.

the jack rod through the opening and
direct it toward the spare tire winch,
located directly above the spare tire.
CAUTION
Do not insert the jack rod straight as it is
designed to be inserted at an angle as
shown. 7. Fit the square end of the jack rod into
the square hole of the wheel nut
wrench to form a handle.
8. Seat the J-shaped end of the jack rod into the opening of the tire winch. Apply
pressure to keep the jack rod engaged
in the spare tire winch and turn the jack
rod counterclockwise to lower the
spare tire.
9. Once the spare tire is completely low- ered, reach under the vehicle, remove
the retainer chain, and carefully slide
the tire from under the rear of the ve-
hicle. Do not remove the rubber spacer.

10. To reinstall the wheel, insert the tirechain through the wheel. Be sure the
rubber spacer is centered on the wheel
before lif ting. Use the assembled jack
rod and slowly rotate the winch clock-
wise to raise the wheel to the vehicle.

Inspect the spacer every six years and
replace as necessary. Contact a NISSAN
dealer for replacement parts if neces-
sary.

hicle to move.
Always refer to the illustration for the cor-
rect 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 in-
structions. 1. Loosen each wheel nut one or two turns by turning counterclockwise with
the wheel nut wrench. Do not remove
the wheel nuts until the tire is off the
ground.
