).

Lower the vehicle completely.

WARNING

Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly

tightened wheel nuts can cause the
wheel to become loose or come off.
This could cause an accident.

Do not use oil or grease on the wheel

studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts
to become loose.

Retighten the wheel nuts when the ve-

hicle has been driven for 600 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).

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 tightened to
specification at all times. It is recom-
mended that wheel nuts be tightened to
specification at each lubrication interval.

Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pressure.

COLD pressure: After vehicle has been
parked for three hours or more or driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km).

COLD tire pressures are shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label affixed to
the driver side center pillar.

5. Securely store the flat tire in the vehicle.

6. Install the jack in its storage area and tighten

the jack strap.

7. Place the spare tire cover and the floor cov-

ering over the damaged tire.

8. Close the hatch or trunk.

WARNING

Always make sure that the spare tire

and jacking equipment are properly se-
cured after use. Such items can become
dangerous projectiles in an accident or
sudden stop.

The spare tire is designed for emer-

gency use. See specific instructions un-
der the heading “Wheels and tires” in
the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section of this manual.

To start your engine with a booster battery, the
instructions and precautions below must be fol-
lowed.

If the battery of a vehicle equipped with the
NISSAN Intelligent Key ™ is discharged, the
ignition switch cannot be moved from the
LOCK position, even using the mechanical
key. Connect the jumper cables to another
vehicle, as in the case of a discharged bat-
tery, and then the ignition knob can be
moved from the LOCK position. Then, jump
start the vehicle.

WARNING

If done incorrectly, jump starting can

lead to a battery explosion, resulting in
severe injury or death. It could also
damage your vehicle.

Explosive hydrogen gas is always

present in the vicinity of the battery.
Keep all sparks and flames away from
the battery.
