REPAIRING FLAT TIRE (CrossCabriolet
models)

WARNING

. After using Emergency Tire Sealant

to repair a minor tire puncture, do
not drive the vehicle at speeds
faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h).

. Immediately after using the Emer-

gency Tire Sealant to repair a minor
tire puncture, take your vehicle to a
NISSAN dealer to inspect, and re-
pair or replace the tire. The Emer-
g e n c y

c a n n o t

permanently seal a punctured tire.
Continuing operation of the vehicle
without a permanent tire repair can
lead to a crash.

. If you used the Emergency Tire

Sealant to repair a minor tire punc-
ture, your NISSAN dealer will also
need to replace the TPMS sensor in
addition to repairing or replacing
the tire.

. NISSAN recommends using only

NISSAN Genuine Emergency Tire
Sealant provided with your vehicle.
Other tire sealants may damage the
valve stem seal which can cause the
tire to lose air pressure.

This vehicle does not have a spare tire. The
emergency tire puncture repair kit (Emergency
Tire Sealant) is supplied with the vehicle instead
of a spare tire. It can be used to temporarily
repair minor tire punctures.

If possible, have the vehicle towed to a facility
that can repair or replace the flat tire. Using the
emergency tire puncture repair kit may cause a
malfunction of the tire pressure sensor and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate.

If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions
below.

CAUTION

. To avoid the emergency tire punc-

ture kit being damaged during sto-
rage or use:

— Only use the emergency tire

puncture repair kit on your ve-
hicle. Do not use it on other
vehicles.

— Only use the kit to inflate the

tires of your vehicle and to
check the vehicle’s tire pressure.

— Only plug the compressor into a

12V DC car power point.

— Keep the kit free of water and

dirt.

— Do not disassemble or modify

the kit.

— Do not drop the kit or allow hard

impacts to the kit.

. Do not use the emergency tire

puncture repair kit under the follow-
ing conditions. Contact a NISSAN
dealer or professional road assis-
tance.
