4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tiretouches the ground. Then, with the
wheel nut wrench, tighten the wheel
nuts securely in the sequence illu-
strated. Lower the vehicle completely.
WARNING
.Incorrect wheel nuts or impro-
perly tightened wheel nuts can
cause the wheel to become loose
or come off. This could cause an
accident.
. Do not use oil or grease on the
wheel studs or nuts. This could
cause the nuts to become loose.
. Retighten the wheel nuts when
the vehicle has been driven for
600 miles (1,000 km) (also in
cases of a flat tire, etc.).
.As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque: 80 ft-lb (108 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tigh-
tened to specifications at all times. It
is recommended that the wheel nuts
be tightened to specifications at each lubrication interval.
.Adjust tire pressure to the COLD
pressure.
COLD pressure:
After the vehicle has been parked for
3 hours or more or driven less than 1
mile (1.6 km).
COLD tire pressures are shown on
the Tire and Loading Information
label affixed to the driver side center
pillar.
Stowing the damaged tire and the
tools
1. Securely store the jack, tools and the damaged tire in the storage area.
2. Replace the flexible luggage boards (if so equipped) and cover.
3. Close the liftgate.
WARNING
. Always make sure that the spare
tire and jacking equipment are
properly secured after use. Such
items can become dangerous
projectiles in an accident or sud-
den stop. .
The spare tire is designed for
emergency use. See specific in-
structions under the heading
“Wheels and tires” (P.8-29).
REPAIRING A FLAT TIRE (models
with emergency tire puncture re-
pair kit)
The emergency tire puncture repair kit is
supplied with the vehicle instead of a
spare tire. This repair kit must be used for
temporarily fixing a minor tire puncture.
After using the repair kit, it is recom-
mended that visit a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible for tire inspection and
repair/replacement.
CAUTION
.NISSAN recommends using only
Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tire
Sealant provided with your vehi-
cle. Other tire sealants may da-
mage the valve stem seal which
can cause the tire to lose air
pressure.
. Do not use the emergency tire
puncture repair kit provided with
your vehicle on other vehicles.

Getting emergency tire puncture
repair kit
Take out the emergency tire puncture
repair kit located under the cargo room.
The repair kit consists of the following
items:
Air compressor* and Speed restriction
sticker
Tire sealant bottle
*: The compressor shape may differ
depending on the models.
NOTE:
A spare tire, jack and rod are not
equipped as standard. These parts are
dealer options. It is recommended that

contact a NISSAN dealer about obtain-
ing these parts. See “Changing a flat tire
(models with spare tire)” (P.6-4) for
usage of jacking tools and tire replace-
ment.
Before using emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit
.If any foreign object (for example, a
screw or nail) is embedded in the tire,
do not remove it.
. Check the expiration date of the
sealant (shown on the label attached
to the bottle). Never use a sealant
whose expiration date has passed.

5. Remove the protective capof the
hose and screw the hose securely
onto the tire valve. Make sure that
the pressure release valve
is se-
curely tightened. Make sure that the
air compressor switch is in the OFF
(*) position, and then insert its power
plug into the power outlet in the
vehicle.

6. Place the ignition switch in the ONposition. Then turn the compressor
switch to the ON (−) position and
inflate the tire up to the pressure that
is specified on the tire placard affixed
to the driver’s side center pillar if
possible, or to the minimum of 26 psi
(180 kPa). Turn the air compressor off
briefly in order to check the tire
pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tire is inflated to higher than the
specified pressure, adjust the tire
pressure by releasing air with the
pressure release valve. The cold tire
pressures are shown on the tire pla-
card affixed to the driver’s side center
pillar.
CAUTION
.An incomplete connection be-
tween the hose and tire valve
causes air leakage or sealant
scatter.
. Do not stand directly beside the
damaged tire while it is being
inflated because of the risk of
the rupture. If there are any
cracks or bumps, turn the com-
pressor off immediately.
. There is a possibility that the
pressure reaches 87 psi (600
kPa) while the tire is being in-
flated, but it is normal condition.
Usually the pressure will drop in
about 30 seconds.
. Do not operate the compressor
for more than 10 minutes.
If the tire pressure does not increase
to 26 psi (180 kPa) within 10 minutes,
the tire may be seriously damaged
and the tire cannot be repaired with
this tire puncture repair kit. It is
recommended that contact a NISSAN
dealer. 7. When the tire pressure is reaching the
specified pressure or is at the mini-
mum of 26 psi (180 kPa), turn the air
compressor off. Remove the power
plug from the power outlet and
quickly remove the hose from the tire
valve. Attach the protective cap and
valve cap.
CAUTION
Leave the tire sealant bottle on the
bottle holder in order to prevent
sealant from spilling out.
8. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or 2 miles (3 km) at a speed of
50 MPH (80 km/h) or less.
9. After driving, make sure that the air compressor switch is in the OFF (*)
position, then screw the hose securely
onto the tire valve. Check the tire
pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tire pressure drops under 19 psi
(130 kPa ):
The tire cannot be repaired with this tire
puncture repair kit. It is recommended
that contact a NISSAN dealer.

more but less than the specified pres-
sure:
Turn the compressor switch to the ON (−)
position and inflate the tire up to the
specified pressure. Then repeat the steps
from 8.
If the pressure drops again,the tire
cannot be repaired with this tire punc-
ture repair kit. It is recommended that
contact a NISSAN dealer.
When the tire pressure is the specified
pressure:
The temporary repair is completed.
It is recommended that visit a NISSAN
dealer for tire repair/replacement as soon
as possible.
CAUTION
Do not reuse the tire sealant bottle
or the hose.
For a new tire sealant bottle and
hose, it is recommended that con-
tact a NISSAN dealer. To start your engine with a booster
battery, the instructions and precautions
below must be followed.
WARNING
.
If done incorrectly, jump starting
can lead to a battery explosion,
resulting in severe injury or
death. It could also damage your
vehicle.
. Explosive hydrogen gas is always
present in the vicinity of the
battery. Keep all sparks and
flames away from the battery.
. Do not allow battery fluid to come
into contact with eyes, skin,
clothing or painted surfaces. Bat-
tery fluid is a corrosive sulfuric
acid solution which can cause
severe burns. If the fluid should
come into contact with anything,
immediately flush the contacted
area with water.
. Keep the battery out of the reach
of children.
. The booster battery must be
rated at 12 volts. Use of an im-
properly rated battery can da-
mage your vehicle. .
Whenever working on or near a
battery, always wear suitable eye
protectors (for example, goggles
or industrial safety spectacles)
and remove rings, metal bands,
or any other jewelry. Do not lean
over the battery when jump start-
ing.
. Do not attempt to jump start a
frozen battery. It could explode
and cause serious injury.
. Your vehicle has an automatic
engine cooling fan. It could come
on at any time. Keep hands and
other objects away from it.

WARNING
Always follow the instructions below.
Failure to do so could result in
damage to the charging system and
cause personal injury.1. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle
, position the two vehicles (and) to bring their batteries into
close proximity to each other.
Do not allow the two vehicles to
touch. 2. Apply the parking brake.
3.
Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) models:
Move the shift lever to the P (Park)
position.
Manual Transmission (MT) models:
Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position.
4. Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (headlights, heater, air condi-
tioner, etc.).
5. Remove the vent caps on the battery (if so equipped). Cover the battery with
a firmly wrung out moist cloth to
reduce explosion hazard.
6. Connect jumper cables in the se- quence as illustrated (
???).
CAUTION
.Always connect positive (+) to
positive (+) and negative (−) to
body ground (for example, as
illustrated), not to the battery.
. Make sure the jumper cables do
not touch moving parts in the
engine compartment and that
the cable clamps do not contact

any other metal.
7. Start the engine of the booster vehicle
and let it run for a few minutes.
8. Keep the engine speed of the booster vehicle
at about 2,000 rpm, and
start the engine of the vehiclebeing
jump started.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor en-
gaged for more than 10 seconds. If
the engine does not start right away,
place the ignition switch in the OFF
position and wait 10 seconds before
trying again.
9. After starting your engine, carefully disconnect the negative cable and
then the positive cable (
???).
10. Replace the vent caps (if so equipped). Be sure to dispose of the cloth used to
cover the vent holes as it may be
contaminated with corrosive acid. Do not attempt to start the engine by
pushing.
CAUTION
.
Continuously Variable Transmis-
sion (CVT) models cannot be
push-started or tow-started. At-
tempting to do so may cause
transmission damage.
. Three-way catalyst equipped
models should not be started by
pushing since the three way cat-
alyst may be damaged.
. Never try to start the vehicle by
towing it; when the engine starts,
the forward surge could cause
the vehicle to collide with the
tow vehicle.
WARNING
.Never continue driving if your
vehicle overheats. Doing so could
cause a vehicle fire.
. Never open the hood if steam is
coming out.
. Never remove the radiator or
coolant reservoir cap while the
engine is hot. If the radiator or
coolant reservoir cap is removed
when the engine is hot, pressur-
ized hot water will spurt out and
possibly cause burning, scalding
or serious injury.
. If steam or coolant is coming
from the engine, stand clear of
the vehicle to prevent getting
burned.
. The engine cooling fan will start
at anytime when the coolant
temperature exceeds preset de-
grees.
. Be careful not to allow your
hands, hair, jewelry or clothing
to come into contact with, or to
get caught in the cooling fan or
drive belts.
