TIRE INFLA TION PRESSURE
GUID-042 03F7D-291C -40D7-90BE-10B1CCA7D953
Periodically checkthepressure ofthe tires, including
the spare. Anincorrect tirepressure mayadversely
affect tirelifeand vehicle handling. Thetirepressure
should bechecked whentiresareCOLD. Tiresare
considered COLDafterthevehicle hasbeen parked
for 3or more hours, ordriven lessthan 1.6km(1mile) .
COLD tirepressures areshown onthe tire placard.
Insufficient pressurecanlead toan overheating ofthe
tire and subsequent internaldamage. Athigh speeds,
this could resultintread separation andeven bursting
of the tire.
TYPES OFTIRES
GUID-FD 4C9C50-5C 6C-4EF5-B2 3D-7ED0D15DD332
CAUTION:
When changing orreplacing tires,besure all
four tires areofthe same type(that is,summer,
all season orsnow) andconstruction. ANISSAN
dealer maybeable tohelp youwith information
about tiretype, size,speed ratingandavail-
ability.
Replacement tiresmayhave alower speed ratingthan
the factory equipped tires,andthey maynotmatch the
potential maximum vehiclespeed.Neverexceed the
maximum speedratingofthe tire.
All season tires
GUID-02 E78856-75 F7-450C-A4E 5-A056B38650FC
NISSAN specifies allseason tiresonsome models to
provide goodperformance allyear, including snowy
and icyroad conditions. Allseason tiresareidentified
by ALL SEASON and/orM&Sonthe tiresidewall.
Snow tireshave better snowtraction thanallseason
tires andmay bemore appropriate insome areas.
Summer tires
GUID-1BCA3 371-A230-40 62-AA5F-8C5A87D25FD6
NISSAN specifies summertiresonsome models to
provide superior performance ondry roads. Summer
tire performance issubstantially reducedinsnow and
ice. Summer tiresdonot have thetiretraction rating
M&S onthe tire sidewall.
If you plan tooperate yourvehicle insnowy oricy
conditions, NISSANrecommends theuse ofsnow or
all season tiresonallfour wheels.
Snow tires
GUID-BD71A4 41-BE44-414B-A336-9 620651A7A9 2
If snow tiresareneeded, itis necessary toselect tires
equivalent insize andload rating tothe original
equipment tires.Ifyou donot, itcan adversely affect
the safety andhandling ofyour vehicle.
Generally ,snow tireshave lower speed ratings than
factory equipped tiresandmay notmatch thepotential
maximum vehiclespeed.Neverexceed themaximum
speed ratingofthe tire. Ifyou install snowtires,they
must bethe same size,brand, construction andtread
pattern onallfour wheels.
For additional tractiononicy roads, studded tiresmay
be used. However, somestates andprovinces prohibit
their use.Check local,stateandprovincial lawsbefore
installing studdedtires.Skidandtraction capabilities
of studded snowtiresonwet ordry surfaces maybe
poorer thanthatofnon-studded snowtires.
TIRE CHAINS
GUID-B3C5 0512-BC75-4874-9813 -A33A083D2770
Use oftire chains maybeprohibited accordingto
location. Checkthelocal lawsbefore installing tire
chains. Wheninstalling tirechains, makesurethatthey
are ofproper sizeforthe tires onyour vehicle andare
installed according tothe chain manufacturer's in-
structions.
Use chain tensioners whenrecommended bythe tire
chain manufacturer toensure atight fit.Loose endlinks
of the tire chains mustbesecured orremoved to
prevent thepossibility ofwhipping actiondamage to
the fenders orunderbody .If possible, avoidfully
loading yourvehicle whenusing tirechains. Inaddition,
drive atareduced speed.Otherwise, yourvehicle may
be damaged and/orvehicle handling andperformance
may beadversely affected.
Tire chains mustbeinstalled onlyonthe front
wheels andnotonthe rear wheels.
Do not drive withtirechains onpaved roadswhich are
clear ofsnow .Driving withchains insuch conditions
can cause damage tothe various mechanisms ofthe
vehicle duetosome overstress.

WARNING:
. After rotating thetires, adjust thetire

. Retighten thewheel nutswhen thevehicle
has been driven for1,000 km(600 miles)
(also incases ofaflat tire, etc.).
. Donot include thespare tireintire rotation.

CHANGING TIRESANDWHEELS
GUID-5D645B C0-1936-4CCB-9C94-6EA BD270F7CD
WARNING:
Do not install adeformed wheelortire even ifit
has been repaired. Suchwheels ortires could
have structural damageandcould failwithout
warning.
When replacing atire, usethesame size,speed rating
and load carrying capacity asoriginally equipped. (For
recommended typesandsizes oftires andwheels, see
ªTires andwheelsº (P.9-7) .)The useoftires other than
those recommended orthe mixed useoftires of
different brands,construction (bias,bias-belted, or
radial) ,or tread patterns canadversely affecttheride,
braking, handling, groundclearance, body-to-tire
clearance, snowchain clearance, speedometer cali-bration,
headlight aimand bumper height.Someof
these effects maylead toaccidents andcould resultin
serious personal injury.
If the wheels arechanged forany reason, always
replace withwheels whichhavethesame offset
dimension. Wheelsofadifferent offsetcouldcause
early tirewear, possibly degraded vehiclehandling
characteristics and/orinterference withthebrake
discs/drums. Suchinterference canlead todecreased
braking efficiency and/orearlybrake pad/shoe wear.
WHEEL BALANCE
GUID-EF 520D36-94 4C-4819-9F 18-969AB3E2512F
Unbalanced wheelsmayaffect vehicle handling and
tire life. Even withregular use,wheels cangetoutof
