When inflating the tyres and checking the tyre
pressure, never bend the valves.

REPAIRING FLAT TYRE (Models with
emergency tyre puncture repair kit)
The emergency tyre puncture repair kit is supplied
with the vehicle instead of a spare tyre. This repair
kit must be used for temporarily fixing a minor tyre
puncture. After using the repair kit, see a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop as soon as possible for
tyre inspection and repair/replacement.
Use Genuine NISSAN valve caps that comply
with the factory-fitted valve cap specifica-
tions.
NISSAN recommends using only Genuine
NISSAN EmergencyTyre Sealant provided with
your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may damage
the valve stem seal which can cause the tyre
to lose air pressure. Visit a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop as soon as possible after
using tyre repair sealant (for models equipped
with the emergency tyre puncture repair kit).
•
Do not use metal valve caps.
•
•
Fit the valve caps properly. Without the valve
caps the valve and tyre pressure monitor sen-
sors could be damaged.
CAUTION
Do not damage the valves and sensors when
storing the wheels or fitting different tyres.
•
•
Do not use the emergency tyre puncture repair
kit under the following conditions. Contact
a
Replace the TPMS sensor valve stem (includ-
ing valve core and cap) and screw (where fit-
ted) when the tyres are replaced due to wear
or age. The screw (where fitted) must be fitted
correctly with a torque setting of 1.4 0.1 N.m.
The TPMS sensors can be used again.
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop or profes-
sional road assistance.
CAUTION
The TPMS may not function properly when the
wheels are equipped with tyre chains or the
wheels are buried in snow.

•
when the sealant has passed its expiration
date (shown on the label attached to the
bottle)
•
Do not place metalised film or any metal parts
(antenna, etc.) on the windows. This may
cause poor reception of the signals from the
tyre pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not
function properly.
when the cut or the puncture is approximately
4 mm (0.16 in) or longer
•
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) moni-
tors the tyre pressure of the four wheels except the
spare wheel. When the TPMS indicator light comes
on together with the TPMS tyre location indicator
light (in the meter panel), one or more of the tyres is
significantly under-inflated. If the vehicle is being
driven with low tyre pressure, the TPMS will activate
and TPMS indicator light together with the TPMS
tyre location indicator light remains on. This system
will deactivate only when tyre pressure is corrected
and the vehicle is driven at speeds above 25 km/h
(16 MPH).
when the side of the tyre is damaged
•
when the vehicle has been driven with a con-
siderable loss of air from the tyre
•
Some devices and transmitters may tempo-
rarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS
and cause the TPMS indicator light to illumi-
nate. Some examples are:
when the tyre is completely displaced inside
or outside the rim
•
when the tyre rim is damaged
•
–
–
–
Facilities or electric devices using similar
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.
when two or more tyres are flat
•
If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is
being used in or near the vehicle.
If a computer (or similar equipment) or a
DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.

Monitoring System (TPMS) (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
