T32A130827-1CA14978-018C-4DAF-9882-1F9A0A0A23F2

SIC2475

The hazard indicator flasher switch operates regard-

less of the ignition switch position except when the

battery is discharged.

The hazard indicator flasher is used to warn other

drivers when you have to stop or park under

emergency conditions.

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 an impact that could activate the supplemental

air bags is detected, the hazard warning flasher lights

blink automatically. If the hazard warning flasher switch

is pushed, the hazard warning flashers will turn off.

WARNING:

Do not turn the hazard warning flasher switch to

off until you can make sure that it is safe to do

so. Also, the hazard flasher warning may not

blink automatically depending on the force of

impact.

If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions as follows.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

(TPMS) (if equipped)

GUID-5E0339A0-2DD1-4BAB-A41C-59B791FC2152

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 v ehicle

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 the light still illuminates

while driving after adjusting the tire pres-

sure, a tire may be flat. If you have a flat tire,

replace it with a spare tire (if equipped) as

soon as possible.

. 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 the 1 minute . Contact a

NISSAN dealer as soon as possible for tire

replacement and/or system resetting.

. Replac ing tires with those not originally

specified by NISSAN could affect the proper

operation of the TPMS.

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

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).

For more details, see “Low tire pressure warning light”

(P.2-14) and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS)” (P.5-4).

SCE0574

WARNING:

. Be sure to read and follow the instructions in

this section.

. DO NOT GET UNDER A VEHICLE THAT IS

SUPPORTED BY A JACK.

. Never use a jack which is not provided with

your vehicle.

. 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.

. Never jack up the vehicle at a location other

than the jack-up point that is specified.

. Never lift the vehicle more than necessary.

. Never use blocks on or under the jack.

. Never start or run the engine while the

vehicle is on the jack. The vehicle may move

suddenly, and this may cause an accident.

. Never allow passengers to remain in the

vehicle while the tire is off the ground.

. Be sure to read the caution label attached to

the jack body before using.

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.

The jack should be placed on firm level

ground.

2. Align the jack head between the two notches

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

the rear section.

3. Fit the groove of the jack head between the

notches as shown.

4. Loosen each wheel nut, counterclockwise, one or

two turns with the wheel nut wrench.

Do not remove the wheel nuts until the tire is

off the ground.

5. Carefully raise the vehicle until the clearance

between the tire and ground is achieved.

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

rod with both hands and turn the jack lever.

INSTALLING SPARE TIRE

T32A130827-435AF232-C329-432F-8AAD-7473B8100EC2

SCE0039

WARNING:

. 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.

. Never use oil or grease on the wheel studs

or nuts. This may cause the wheel nuts to

become loose.

. The T-type spare tire is designed for emer-

gency use only.

1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface between

the wheel and hub.

2. Carefully put the spare tire on and tighten the

wheel nuts with your fingers. Check that all the

wheel nuts contact the wheel surface horizontally.

3. Tighten the wheel nuts alternately and evenly in

the sequence illustrated (

), more than 2

times with the wheel nut wrench, until they are

tight.

4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire touches the

ground.

5. Tighten the wheel nuts securely, with the wheel

nut wrench, in the sequence illustrated.

6. Lower the vehicle completely.

Tighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque

with a torque wrench as soon as possible.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

108 N·m (11 kg-m, 80 ft-lb)

The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to

specification at all times. It is recommended

that the wheel nuts be tightened to specification

at each lubrication interval.

WARNING:

Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has

been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles) (also in

cases of a flat tire, etc.).

For models equipped with Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)

GUID-16DE3A91-C3BF-444C-BA0B-738A18EBBE53

. After adjusting the tire pressure, the TPMS must

be reset. See “Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS)” (P.6-2), “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-

tem (TPMS)” (P.5-4) and “Tire Pressure Monitor-

ing System (TPMS)” (P.8-36) for details about the

resetting procedure.

. After adjusting tire pressure to the COLD tire

pressure, the display of the tire pressures (if

equipped in the vehicle information display) may

show higher pre ssure than th e COLD tire

pressure after the vehicle has been driven more

than 1.6 km (1 mile). This is because the tire

pressurizes as the tire temperature rises. This

does not indicate a system malfunction.

STOWING DAMAGED TIRE AND TOOLS

T32A130827-5EF8CC3C-3891-4896-8173-496E49108424

WARNING:

properly stored after use. Such items can

become dangerous projectiles in an accident

or sudden stop.

. The T-type spare tire is designed for emer-

gency use only.

1. Securely store the damaged tire, jack and tools

used in the storage area in the reverse order of

removal. (See “Preparing tools and spare tire”

(P.6-3).)

2. Replace the luggage floorboards.

3. Close the back door.
