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.

6-14In case of emergency
If the tire pressure is 19 psi (130 kPa) or
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.
JUMP STARTING

ing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish
may dull the finish or leave swirl marks.
REMOVING SPOTS
Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust,
insects, and tree sap as quickly as possi-
ble from the paint surface to avoid lasting
damage or staining. Special cleaning
products are available at a NISSAN dealer
or any automotive accessory stores. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for these products.
UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in winter,
the underbody must be cleaned regularly.
This will prevent dirt and salt from build-
ing up and causing the acceleration of
corrosion on the underbody and suspen-
sion. Before the winter period and again
in the spring, the underseal must be
checked and, if necessary, re-treated.
GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and
dust film from the glass surfaces. It is
normal for glass to become coated with a
film after the vehicle is parked in the hot
sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will
easily remove this film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the
windows, do not use sharp-edged
tools, abrasive cleaners or chlorine-
based disinfectant cleaners. They
could damage the electrical conduc-
tors, radio antenna elements or rear
window defroster elements.
WHEELS
Wash the wheels when washing the
vehicle to maintain their appearance.
.Clean the inner side of the wheels
when the wheel is changed or the
underside of the vehicle is washed.
. Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents
or corrosion. Such damage may cause
loss of pressure or poor seal at the tire
bead.
. NISSAN recommends that the road
wheels be waxed to protect against
road salt in areas where it is used
during winter.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive cleaners when
washing the wheels.
ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS
Wash regularly with a sponge dampened
in a mild soap solution, especially during
winter months in areas where road salt is
used. Salt could discolor the wheels if not
removed.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid
staining or discoloring the wheels:
.Do not use a cleaner that uses
strong acid or alkali contents to
clean the wheels.
. Do not apply wheel cleaners to
the wheels when they are hot.
The wheel temperature should be
the same as ambient tempera-
ture.
. Rinse the wheel to completely
remove the cleaner within 15
minutes after the cleaner is ap-
plied.

TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It
monitors tire pressure of all tires except
the spare (if so equipped). When the low
tire pressure warning light is lit, and the
“Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
message is displayed in the vehicle in-
formation display, one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.
The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not
detect a sudden drop in tire pressure
(for example a flat tire while driving).
For more details, see “Low tire pressure
warning light” (P.2-14), “Tire Pressure Mon-
itoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5) and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.6-
3).
Tire inflation pressure
Check the pressure of the tires
(including the spare (if so
equipped)) often and always prior
to long distance trips. The recom-
mended tire pressure specifica-
tions are shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label under
the “Cold Tire Pressure” heading.
The Tire and Loading Information
label is affixed to the driver side
center pillar. Tire pressures should
be checked regularly because:
.Most tires naturally lose air over
time.
.Tires can lose air suddenly when
driven over potholes or other
objects or if the vehicle strikes
a curb while parking.
The tire pressures should be
checked when the tires are cold.
The tires are considered COLD after
the vehicle has been parked for 3 or
more hours, or driven less than 1
mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert pro-
vides visual and audible signals outside the vehicle for inflating the
tires to the recommended COLD
tire pressure. (See “TPMS with Easy
Fill Tire Alert” (P.5-8).)
Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely
affect tire life and vehicle hand-
ling.
WARNING
.Improperly inflated tires can
fail suddenly and cause an
accident.
.The Gross Vehicle Weight
rating (GVWR) is located on
the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. cer-
tification label. The vehicle
weight capacity is indicated
on the Tire and Loading In-
formation label. Do not load
your vehicle beyond this ca-
pacity. Overloading your ve-
hicle may result in reduced
tire life, unsafe operating
conditions due to premature
tire failure, or unfavorable

handling characteristics and
could also lead to a serious
accident. Loading beyond
the specified capacity may
also result in failure of other
vehicle components.
.Before taking a long trip, or
whenever you heavily load
your vehicle, use a tire pres-
sure gauge to ensure that
the tire pressures are at the
specified level.
.For additional information
regarding tires, refer to “Im-
portant Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (US) or “Tire Safety
Information” (Canada) in the
Warranty Information Book-
let.
