ing your vehicle when using tire chains. In addi-
tion, drive at a reduced speed. Otherwise, your
vehicle may be damaged and/or vehicle handling
and performance may be adversely affected.

Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving with
chains in such conditions can cause damage to
the various mechanisms of the vehicle due to
some overstress.

CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES

Tire rotation

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

See “Flat tire” in the “In case of emer-
gency” section of this manual for tire re-
placing procedures.

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

Wheel nut tightening torque:

83 ft-lb (113 N·m)

The wheel nuts must be kept tight-
ened to specifications at all times. It
is recommended that wheel nuts be
tightened to 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 in

the tire rotation.

For additional information re-

garding tires, refer to “Important
