Do not drive at speeds above 50 MPH

(80 km/h) and do not drive more than
approximately 93 miles (150 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual dis-
tance the vehicle can be driven on a flat
tire depends on outside temperature,
vehicle load, road conditions and other
factors.

Drive safely at reduced speeds. Avoid

hard cornering or braking, which may
cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

If you detect any unusual sounds or

vibrations while driving with a punc-
tured run-flat tire, pull off the road to a
safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. The tire may be seri-
ously

damaged

and

need

to

be

replaced.

CAUTION

Never install tire chains on a punctured

run-flat tire, as this could damage your
vehicle.

Avoid diving over any projection or pot-

hole, as the clearance between the ve-
hicle and the ground is smaller than
normal.

Do not enter an automated car wash

with a punctured run-flat tire.

Have the punctured tire inspected by a

NISSAN dealer or other authorized re-
pair shop. Replace the tire as soon as
possible

if

the

tire

is

seriously

damaged.

CHANGING A FLAT TIRE

If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions be-
low:

Stopping the vehicle

1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and

away from traffic.

2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.

3. Park on a level surface and apply the parking

brake. Move the shift lever to P (Park).

4. Turn off the engine.

5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic and to

signal professional road assistance person-
nel that you need assistance.

6. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle

and stand in a safe place, away from traffic
and clear of the vehicle.

WARNING

Make sure the parking brake is securely

applied and the shift lever is shifted into
P (Park).

Never change tires when the vehicle is

on a slope, ice or slippery areas. This is
hazardous.

Never change tires if oncoming traffic is

close to your vehicle. Wait for profes-
sional road assistance.
