Skid and traction capabilities of studded snow
tires on wet or dry surfaces may be poorer than
that of non-studded snow tires.
TIRE CHAINS
CAUTION
Tire chains/cables should not be installed
on 185/60R15 or 185/55R16 tires. Installa-
tion of the tire chains/cables on
185/60R15 or 185/55R16 tires will cause
damage to the vehicle. Please use snow
tires instead of chains/cables if needed.
Never install tire chains on a TEMPORARY
USE ONLY spare tire.
CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES
Tire rotation
NISSAN recommends rotating the tires
every 12,000 km (7,500 miles).
Refer to “Flat tire” in the “In case of emer-
gency” section in this manual for tire re-
placing procedures.
As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
113 N·m (83 ft-lb)
The wheel nuts must be kept tight-
ened to specifications at all times. It
is recommended that wheel nuts be
tightened to specification at each
tire rotation interval.
WARNING
● After rotating the tires, check and
adjust the tire pressure.
● Retighten the wheel nuts when
the vehicle has been driven for
1,000 km (600 miles) (also in
cases of a flat tire, etc.)
● Do not include the spare tire in
the tire rotation.
● For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Tire Safety
Information” in the Warranty In-
formation Booklet.
