CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES

Tire rotation

NISSAN recommends rotating the tires every
7,500 miles (12,000 km).

As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts
to the specified torque using a torque
wrench.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

83 ft-lb (112 N·m)

The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
the specification at all times. It is recom-
mended that wheel nuts be tightened to the
specification at each tire rotation interval.

WARNING

• After rotating the tires, check and ad-

just the tire pressure.

• Retighten the wheel nuts when the ve-

hicle has been driven for 600 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).

• For additional information regarding

tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety
Information” (US) or “Tire Safety Infor-
mation” (Canada) in the Warranty In-
formation Booklet.
