CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES

Tire rotation
NISSAN recommends rotating the tires
every 7,500 miles (12,000 km). (See “Flat
tire” in the “6. In case of emergency”
section for tire replacing procedures.)

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

Wheel nut tightening torque:

80 ft-lb (108 N·m)

The wheel nuts must be kept tigh-

tened to the specification at all times.
It is recommended that wheel nuts be
tightened to the 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
600 miles (1,000 km) (also in
cases of a flat tire, etc.).

. Do not include the spare tire or

any other small size spare tire in
the tire rotation.

. For additional information re-

garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire Safety Information” (Cana-
da) in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
