The chime will only sound at the first indication of
a flat tire and the warning light will illuminate
continuously. When the flat tire warning is acti-
vated, have the system reset and the tire checked
and replaced if necessary by your NISSAN
dealer. Even if the tire is inflated to the specified
COLD tire pressure, the warning light will con-
tinue to illuminate until the system is reset by your
NISSAN dealer.

If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates
continuously and the “Flat Tire- Visit Dealer

Љ

warning appears in the vehicle information dis-
play:

● Do not exceed 50 MPH (80 km/h).
● Increase your following distance to allow for

increased stopping distances.

● Avoid sudden maneuvers, hard cornering

and hard braking.

WARNING

Although you can continue driving with

a punctured run-flat tire, remember that
vehicle handling stability is reduced,
which could lead to an accident and
personal injury. Also, driving a long dis-
tance at high speeds may damage the
tire.

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, read 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 driving 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.

Always use tires of the same type, size,

brand, construction (bias, bias-belted
or radial), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Failure to do so may result in a
circumference difference between tires
on the front and rear axles which will
cause excessive tire wear and may dam-
age the transmission, transfer case and
differential gears (AWD models).

ONLY use spare tires specified for the

AWD model.

If excessive tire wear is found, it is rec-

ommended that all four tires be re-
placed with tires of the same size,
brand, construction and tread pattern.
The tire pressure and wheel alignment
should also be checked and corrected
as necessary. Contact a NISSAN dealer.
