Tire and Loading Information
label
1Seating capacity: The maximum
number of occupants that can
be seated in the vehicle.
2Vehicle load limit: Refer to load-
ing information in the “Technical
and consumer information” sec-
tion 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.

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 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.

are defined throughout this section,
Intended Outboard Sidewall is (1) the
sidewall that contains a whitewall,
bears white lettering or bears
manufacturer, brand, and/or model
name molding that is higher or
deeper than the same molding on
the other sidewall of the tire, or (2)
the outward facing sidewall of an
asymmetrical tire that has a particu-
lar side that must always face out-
ward when mounted on a vehicle.
TYPES OF TIRES
WARNING
∙ When changing or replacing tires, be sure all four tires are of the same type
(i.e., Summer, All Season or Snow) and
construction. A NISSAN dealer may be
able to help you with information
about tire type, size, speed rating and
availability.
∙ Replacement tires may have a lower speed rating than the factory
equipped tires, and may not match
the potential maximum vehicle
speed. Never exceed the maximum
speed rating of the tire.
∙ Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the low tire
pressure warning system.

damaged and/or vehicle handling and
performance may be adversely affected.
Tire chains must be installed only on the
rear wheels and not on the front wheels.
Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving
with chains in such conditions can cause
damage to the various mechanisms of the
vehicle due to some overstress.
CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES
Tire rotation
NISSAN recommends rotating the
tires every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
For additional information on the tire
replacing procedures, refer to “Flat
tire” in the “In case of emergency”
section of this manual.
As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.Wheel nut tightening torque:
131 f t-lb (177 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tight-
ened to specifications at all times.
It is recommended that wheel nuts
be tightened to specification at
each tire rotation interval.
Because the tire pressures are dif-
ferent between the front and rear
tires, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) must be reset af ter
tire rotation. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “TPMS sensor reset” in
this section.WARNING
∙ Af ter rotating the tires, check and adjust the tire pressure.
∙ Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for
600 miles (1,000 km) (also in
cases of a flat tire, etc.).
∙ Do not include the spare tire in the tire rotation.

tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.
TPMS sensor reset
Af ter rotating the tires, the TPMS sensor
position needs to be relearned. Contact
the closest NISSAN dealer or follow the
steps below.
1. Af ter rotating the tires, adjust the tire pressure as shown above. Decrease air
pressure for at least 30 seconds con-
tinuously for each tire (more than 10 psi
(69 kPa) within 30 seconds) to place the
TPMS system into relearn mode for
30 minutes. 2.
On the meter, start the relearn procedure
using the INFO
knob as follows:
SETTINGS →TPMS Menu →RE-LEARN →
CONFIRM
The TPMS warning lightflashes
continuously when the system is re-
learning the tire positions.
3. When the relearn procedure is suc- cessfully completed:
– The TPMS light
illuminates for
3 seconds
– A chime sounds three times
4. Adjust the tire pressures to the cold tire pressure specification shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. For
additional information, refer to “Check-
ing tire pressure” in this section and
“Tire and Loading Information label” in
the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.
– If the tires pressures are correct, the TPMS light turns off.
– If the tires are not inflated to the cor- rect cold tire pressure, the TPMS
warning light illuminates. Recheck
the tire pressures and adjust as nec-
essary.

If the relearn procedure does not work,
check the following and retry the pro-
cess:∙ If the relearn procedure is stopped be- fore completion, the new tire positions
are not learned. Redo the complete re-
learn procedure to reset the tire posi-
tions.
∙ You must select “RESET TPMS →RE-
LEARN” from the “SETTINGS” menu to
complete the relearn procedure. Redo
the complete relearn procedure to re-
set the tire positions. Select the TPMS
resetting menu, then continue the re-
maining registration procedure.
∙ Adjust the tire pressures to the relearn pressures before selecting the TPMS re-
setting menu on the display. Redo the
complete relearn procedure to reset
the tire positions.
∙ If the tire pressure cannot be reduced at least 10 psi (69 kPa) to adjust them to
the relearn pressures, inflate the tires to
at least 10 psi (69 kPa) above the speci-
fied pressures. Redo the complete re-
learn procedure starting with step 1. ∙ Devices which emit electronic interfer-
ence should be turned off before start-
ing the relearn procedure. The interfer-
ence may prevent the system from
learning the new tire positions. Turn off
or remove sources of electrical interfer-
ence. If necessary, move the vehicle to
another location, then redo the com-
plete relearn procedure to reset the tire
positions.
∙ If you have retried the procedure sev- eral times and the relearn procedure is
not successfully completed, It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
∙ Use an air pump that is capable of in- flating the tires to the required pressure
specifications. The air pump must be
capable of inflating a tire at least 10 psi
(69 kPa) in 30 seconds.
∙ If the reset TPMS function is uninten- tionally selected, place the ignition
switch in the OFF position then to the
ON position to end the relearn proce-
dure. ∙ If the vehicle is not recognizing the new
tire pressure levels, move the vehicle
forward 40 in (1 m). Place the ignition
switch in the OFF position then to the
ON position. Redo the relearn proce-
dure beginning at step 1. Make sure that
the tire pressures are increased or de-
creased at least 10 psi (69 kPa).
∙ When vehicle is in the relearn mode, the TPMS will not warn of low tire pressures
or detect malfunctions.
∙ If tire pressure is not set to the correct pressure, restart the procedure again.

could cause premature tire wear, de-
grade vehicle handling characteris-
tics, affect the VDC system and/or in-
terference with the brake discs. Such
interference can lead to decreased
braking efficiency and/or early brake
pad wear. For additional information
on wheel off-set dimensions, refer to
“Wheels and tires” in the “Technical
and consumer information” section of
this manual.
∙ When replacing a wheel without the TPMS, such as the spare tire, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire pres-
sure warning light will flash for ap-
proximately one minute. The light will
remain on af ter one minute. Have
your tires replaced and/or TPMS sys-
tem reset as soon as possible. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
∙ Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
∙ The TPMS sensor may be damaged if it is not handled correctly. Be careful
when handling the TPMS sensor. ∙ When replacing the TPMS sensor, the
ID registration may be required. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for ID registration.
∙ Do not use a valve stem cap that is not specified by NISSAN. The valve stem
cap may become stuck.
∙ Be sure that the valve stem caps are correctly fitted. Otherwise the valve
may be clogged up with dirt and
cause a malfunction or loss of
pressure.
∙ Do not install a damaged or deformed wheel or tire even if it has been re-
paired. Such wheels or tires could
have structural damage and could fail
without warning.
∙ The use of retread tires is not recommended.
∙ For additional information regarding tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety
Information” (US) or “Tire Safety Infor-
mation” (Canada) in the Warranty In-
formation Booklet.
Wheel balance
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out of balance. Therefore,
they should be balanced as required.
Wheel balance service should be per-
formed with the wheels off the vehicle.
Spin balancing the wheels on the vehicle
could lead to mechanical damage.
∙ For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety
Information” (US) or “Tire Safety In-
formation” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.
Care of wheels
∙ Wash the wheels when washing the ve- hicle to maintain their appearance.
∙ Clean the inner side of the wheels when the wheel is changed or the underside
of the vehicle is washed.
∙ Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing the wheels.
∙ Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corrosion. Such damage may cause
loss of pressure or poor seal at the tire
bead.
∙ NISSAN recommends waxing the road wheels to protect against road salt in
areas where it is used during winter.

secondary latch keeps the hood from
opening when the primary latch is re-
leased.
When driving in areas using road salt or
other corrosive materials, check lubrica-
tion frequently.
Lights*:Clean the headlights on a regular
basis. Make sure that the headlights, stop
lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other
lights are all operating properly and in-
stalled securely. Also check headlight aim.
Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)*: When check-
ing the tires, make sure no wheel nuts are
missing, and check for any loose wheel
nuts. Tighten if necessary.
Tire rotation*: Tires should be rotated ev-
ery 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
Tires*: Check the pressure with a gauge
of ten and always prior to long distance
trips. If necessary, adjust the pressure in all
tires, including the spare, to the pressure
specified. Check carefully for damage, cuts
or excessive wear.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components: Replace the
TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve core
and cap when the tires are replaced due to
wear or age. Wheel alignment and balance:
If the ve-
hicle should pull to either side while driving
on a straight and level road, or if you detect
uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may
be a need for wheel alignment. If the steer-
ing wheel or seat vibrates at normal high-
way speeds, wheel balancing may be
needed.
For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Important Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in
the Warranty Information Booklet.
Windshield: Clean the windshield on a
regular basis. Check the windshield at least
every six months for cracks or other dam-
age. Have a damaged windshield repaired
by a qualified repair facility.
Windshield wiper blades*: Check for
cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly.
Inside the vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should
be checked on a regular basis, such as
when performing scheduled maintenance,
cleaning the vehicle, etc. Accelerator pedal:
Check the pedal for
smooth operation and make sure the
pedal does not catch or require uneven
effort. Keep the floor mat away from the
pedal.
Automatic transmission P (Park) mecha-
nism: On a fairly steep hill check that the
vehicle is held securely with the shif t lever
in the P (Park) position without applying any
brakes.
Brake pedal: Check the pedal for smooth
operation. If the brake pedal suddenly goes
down further than normal, the pedal feels
spongy or the vehicle seems to take longer
to stop, have your vehicle checked imme-
diately. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. Keep the
floor mat away from the pedal.
Brakes: Check that the brakes do not pull
the vehicle to one side when applied.
Parking brake: Check the parking brake
operation regularly. The vehicle should be
securely held on a fairly steep hill with only
the parking brake applied. If the parking
brake needs adjustment, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
