HAZARD INDICATOR FLASHER

SWITCH

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING

SYSTEM (TPMS) (if equipped)

being driven with low tire pressure, the TPMS will

activate and warn you of it by the low tire pressure

warning light (in the meter panel). This system will

activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds

above 25 km/h (16 MPH).

WARNING:

.

If the low tire pressure warning light illumi-

nates while driving, avoid sudden steering

maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle

speed, pull off the road to a safe location

and stop the vehicle as soon as possible.

Driving with under-inflated tires may perma-

nently damage the tires and increase 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 recom-

mended COLD tire pressure shown on the

tire placard to turn the low tire pressure

warning light OFF. If you have a flat tire,

For more details about the TPMS, see “Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-3).

When the hazard indicator flasher switch is pushed, all

turn signal lights will flash. To turn off the hazard

indicator flasher, push the hazard indicator flasher

switch again.

.

When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is

replaced, the TPMS will not function and the

low tire pressure warning light will flash for

approximately 1 minute. The light will re-

main on after 1 minute. Contact a NISSAN

dealer as soon as possible for tire replace-

ment and/or system resetting.

Replacing tires with those not originally

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 pressure sensors.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors

tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the low

tire pressure warning light is lit, one or more of your

tires is significantly under-inflated. If the vehicle is

INSTALLING SPARE TIRE

.

Be sure to read the caution label attached to

the jack body before using.

WARNING:

.

Be sure to read and follow the instructions in

this section.

1. Place the jack directly under the jack-up point as

illustrated so that the top of the jack contacts the

vehicle at the jack-up point.

Do not get under a vehicle that is supported

only by a jack: Use vehicle support stands.

The jack should be placed on firm level

ground.

Never use a jack which is not provided with

your vehicle.

2. Align the jack head between the two notches

located at the jack-up point of either the front or

the rear section.

The jack, which is provided with your vehicle,

is designed only to lift your vehicle during a

tire change. Do not use the jack provided

with your vehicle on other vehicles.

SCE0039

3. Fit the groove of the jack head between the

notches as shown.

WARNING:

.

Never jack up the vehicle at a location other

than the jack-up point that is specified.

.

Never use wheel nuts which are not provided

with your vehicle. Incorrect wheel nuts or

improperly tightened wheel nuts may cause

the wheel to become loose or come off. This

could cause an accident.

4. Loosen each wheel nut, counterclockwise, one or

two turns with the wheel nut wrench.

.

Never lift the vehicle more than necessary.

Never use blocks on or under the jack.

Do not remove the wheel nuts until the tire is

off the ground.

Never start or run the engine while the

vehicle is on the jack. The vehicle may move

suddenly, and this may cause an accident.

5. Carefully raise the vehicle until the clearance

between the tire and ground is achieved.

.

Never use oil or grease on the wheel studs

or nuts. This may cause the wheel nuts to

become loose.

6. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever and

rod with both hands and turn the jack lever.

.

Never allow passengers to remain in the

vehicle while the tire is off the ground.

The T-type spare tire is designed for emer-

gency use only.
