. The original tires have built-in

tread wear indicators. When
wear indicators are visible, the
tire(s) should be replaced.

. Tires degrade with age and use.

Have tires, including the spare,
over 6 years old checked by a
qualified technician, because
some tire damage may not be
obvious. Replace the tires as
necessary to prevent tire failure
and possible personal injury.

. Improper service of the spare

tire may result in serious perso-
nal injury. If it is necessary to
repair the spare tire, contact a
NISSAN dealer.

. For additional information re-

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

Replacing wheels and tires

When replacing a tire, use the same size, tread
design, speed rating and load carrying capacity
as originally equipped. (See “Specifications” in
the “9. Technical and consumer information”
section for recommended types and sizes of
tires and wheels.)

WARNING

. The use of tires other than those

recommended or the mixed use of
tires of different brands, construc-
tion (bias, bias-belted or radial), or
tread patterns can adversely affect
the ride, braking, handling, ground
clearance, body-to-tire clearance,
tire chain clearance, speedometer
calibration, headlight aim and bum-
per height. Some of these effects
may lead to accidents and could
result in serious personal injury.

. If the wheels are changed for any

reason, always replace with wheels
which have the same off-set dimen-
sion. Wheels of a different off-set
could cause premature tire wear,
degrade vehicle handling character-
istics and/or interference with the

brake discs/drums. Such interfer-
ence can lead to decreased braking
efficiency and/or early brake pad/
shoe wear. See “Wheels and tires”
in the “9. Technical and consumer
information” section of this manual
for wheel off-set dimensions.

. 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 approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will
remain on after 1 minute. Contact
your NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/
or system resetting.

. Replacing tires with those not ori-

ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.

. Do not install a damaged or de-

formed wheel or tire even if it has
been repaired. Such wheels or tires
could have structural damage and
could fail without warning.

. The use of retread tire is not re-

commended.
