2022 NISSAN FRONTIER Spare

3. Collapse the jack to remove it from thestorage location by inserting the wheel-
nut wrench into the jack screw as shown
and turning the wheel-nut wrench to-
wards you until the jack becomes loose.
Then loosen the jack screw with your
fingers until it is free.
4. Remove the jack from behind the seat.
5. To reinstall the jack and tools, reverse steps 1 to 4.
Getting the spare tire and tools
(All models)
1. Seat the T-shaped end of the jacking rodinto the T-shaped opening of the spare
tire winch. Apply pressure to keep the
jacking rod engaged in the spare tire winch and turn the jacking rod counter-
clockwise to lower the spare tire.
2. Once the spare tire is completely low- ered, reach under the vehicle, remove
the retainer chain, and carefully slide the
tire from under the rear of the vehicle.

3. To reinstall the wheel, remove the centercap and insert the tire chain through the
wheel. Be sure the rubber spacer is cen-
tered on the wheel before lif ting. Use the
assembled jacking rod to slowly rotate
the winch clockwise to raise the wheel
to the vehicle.
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.
Removing bolt-on wheel caps (if
so equipped)
CAUTION
Do not use your hands to pry off wheel
caps or wheel covers. Doing so could
result in personal injury.
The wheel cap
O1is only attached with the
wheel nuts and is separate from the wheel
O2.

3. Install the assembled jacking rod intothe jack as shown.
4. To lif t the vehicle, securely hold the jack- ing lever and rod. Carefully raise the ve-
hicle until the tire clears the ground. 5. Remove the wheel nuts and then re-
move the tire.
Installing the spare tire
The spare tire is designed for emergency
use. For additional information, see
“Wheels and tires” (P. 8-30).
1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surfacebetween the wheel and hub.
2. Carefully put the spare tire on and tighten the wheel nuts finger tight.
3. With the wheel nut wrench, tighten wheel nuts alternately and evenly in the
sequence illustrated (
O1,O2,O3,O4,O5,O6)
until they are tight.

4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tiretouches the ground. Then, with the
wheel nut wrench, tighten the wheel
nuts securely in the sequence illustrated
(
O1,O2,O3,O4,O5,O6). Lower the vehicle
completely .
WARNING
• Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
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 620 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: 98 f t-lb (133 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specification at all times. It is recom-
mended that wheel nuts be tightened to
specifications at each lubrication interval.
Adjust tire pressure to the COLD
pressure.
COLD pressure: Af ter 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 lo-
cated in the driver's door opening.
5. Securely store the jacking equipment in the vehicle and the flat tire under the
vehicle. For additional information about
storing the flat tire, see “Getting the
spare tire and tools (all models)” (P. 6-6).
WARNING
• Always make sure that the spare tire
and jacking equipment are properly
secured af ter use. Such items can be-
come dangerous projectiles in an ac-
cident or sudden stop.
• The spare tire is designed for emer-
gency use. For additional informa-
tion, see “Wheels and tires” (P. 8-30). 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. Battery fluid is a
corrosive sulfuric acid solution which
can cause severe burns. If the fluid
should come into contact with any-
thing, immediately flush the con-
tacted area with water.
• Keep battery out of the reach of
children.
• The booster battery must be rated at
12 volts. Use of an improperly rated
battery can damage your vehicle.
JUMP STARTING

Two types of fuses are used. TypeOAis
used in the fuse boxes in the engine com-
partment. Type
OBis used in the passenger
compartment and engine compartment
fuse boxes. Type
OAfuses are provided as
spare fuses. There are no spare fuses in the
engine compartment. If a type
OAfuse is used to replace a typeOB
fuse, the typeOAfuse will not be level with
the fuse pocket as shown in the illustration.
This will not affect the performance of the
fuse. Make sure the fuse is installed in the
fuse box securely.
Type
OBfuses cannot be installed in the
underhood fuse boxes. Only use type
OA
fuses in the underhood fuse boxes.
NOTE:
Your vehicle may not be equipped with
all fuses listed on the fuse label.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
WARNING
Never use a fuse of a higher or lower
amperage rating than that specified on
the fuse box cover. This could damage
the electrical system or electronic con-
trol units or cause a fire.

If you have a flat tire, see “Flat tire”
(P. 6-3).
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely af-
fect electric medical equipment.
Those who use a pacemaker
should contact the electric medi-
cal equipment manufacturer for
the possible influences before
use.
This vehicle is equipped with TPMS. It
monitors tire pressure of all tires ex-
cept the spare. When the low tire
pressure warning light is lit and the
“Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
message is displayed in the vehicle
information display, one or more of
your tires is significantly
under-inflated. TPMS will activate only when the ve-
hicle 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 additional information, see “Low
tire pressure warning light” (P. 2-15),
“Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” (P. 5-5) and “Flat tire” in the
(P. 6-3).
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including
the spare) of ten and always prior to
long distance trips. The recom-
mended tire pressure specifications
are shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.
certification label or the Tire and
Loading Information label under the
“Cold Tire Pressure” heading. The Tire
and Loading Information label is af-
fixed 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 ob-
jects 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 af ter the
vehicle has been parked for 3 or
more hours, or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely af-
fect tire life and vehicle handling.

COLD af ter the vehicle has been
parked for 3 or more hours, or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at

mended cold tire inflation is set
by the manufacturer to provide
the best balance of tire wear, ve- hicle handling, driveability, tire
noise, etc., up to the vehicle'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 es-
cape. 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
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label or 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.
