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

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 on vehicles equipped with a trip
computer (if so equipped), and the Tire
Pressure Low — Add Air warning appears in
the vehicle information display (if so
equipped), one or more of your tires is sig-
nificantly under-inflated. If equipped, the
system also displays pressure of all tires
(except the spare tire) on the display screen
by sending a signal from a sensor that is
installed in each wheel. If the vehicle is be-
ing driven with low tire pressure, the 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 addi-
tional information, refer to “Warning lights,
indicator lights and audible reminders” in
the “Instruments and controls” section and
“Tire Pressure Monitoring System (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 the light still illuminates while driving af ter adjust-
ing the tire pressure, a tire may be flat
or the TPMS may be malfunctioning. If
you have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible, If no tire
is flat and all tires are properly in-
flated, have the vehicle checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service
∙ When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, TPMS will
not function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately one minute. The light will re-
main on af ter one minute. Have your
tires replaced and/or TPMS system
reset as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended 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 andaway 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.
WARNING
∙ Make sure the parking brake is se-curely applied and the shif t lever is
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.
A. Tire stoppers
B. Flat Tire
Blocking wheels
Place tire stoppers, supplied with jack, at
both the front and back of the wheel diago-
nally opposite the flat tire to prevent the
vehicle from moving when it is jacked up.
WARNING
Be sure to block the wheel as the vehicle
may move and result in personal injury.

Getting the spare tire and tools
(Crew and King Cab® models)
1. Fold up the right rear bench seat. Foradditional information, refer to “Folding
the rear bench seat up” in the “Safety—
Seats, seat belts and supplemental re-
straint system” section of this manual.
2. Remove the tire stopper bag
A.
3. Release the straps
B.
4. Collapse the jack to remove it from the storage location. Loosen the jack with
your fingers until the jack is free.
5. Remove the jack and tool kit. 6. Assemble the pieces of the jack rod.
Find the oval-shaped opening above
the license plate, slightly to the lef t of
the middle (driver’s side). Pass the
T-shaped end of 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 intothe square hole of the wheel nut
wrench to form a handle.
8. Seat the T-shaped end of the jack rod into the T-shaped 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, guide the
retainer chain through the center of
the tire and carefully slide the tire from
under the rear of the vehicle. 10. Securely store the flat tire beneath the
vehicle, from where the full size spare
was removed. To reinstall the wheel, re-
move the center cap (if so equipped)
and insert the retainer chain through
the wheel. Be sure the rubber spacer (if
so equipped) is centered on the wheel
before lif ting. Use the assembled jack-
ing rod to slowly rotate the winch clock-
wise to raise the wheel to the vehicle.
11. To reinstall the jack and tool kit, reverse steps 1 through 5.
NOTE:
Inspect the spacer every six years and
replace as necessary. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
CAUTION
∙ Be sure to center the spare tire sus- pending plate on the wheel and then
lif t the spare tire.
∙ Failure to use the spacer may allow the chain to get stuck on the wheel
nut holes.
Getting the spare tire and tools
(Single Cab models)
1. Move the front passenger seat to ac- cess the tools. For additional informa-
tion about seat functions, refer to “
Seats” in the “Safety–Seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system”
section of this manual.
