HAZARD INDICATOR FLASHER SWITCH FLAT TIRE

If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions in

malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

monitors tire pressure of all tires except the

spare. When the low tire pressure warning light

is lit and the check tire pressure warning (if

equipped) appears on the vehicle information

display, one or more of your tires is significantly

under-inflated. If the vehicle is being driven

with low tire pressure, the TPMS will activate

and warn you of it by the low tire pressure

warning light (in the meter panel). This system

will activate only when the vehicle is driven at

speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH).

this section.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

(TPMS) (if equipped)

WARNING:

.

If the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates while driving, avoid sudden

steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,

reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to

a safe location and stop the vehicle as

soon as possible. Driving with under-

inflated tires may permanently damage

the tires and increase the likelihood of

tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could

occur and may lead to an accident and

could result in serious personal injury.

Check the tire pressure for all four tires.

Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-

mended COLD tire pressure shown on the

tire placard to turn the low tire pressure

warning light OFF. If you have a flat tire,

replace it with a spare tire as soon as

possible.

The hazard indicator flasher switch operates

regardless of the ignition switch position ex-

cept when the battery is discharged.

The hazard indicator flasher is used to warn

other drivers when you have to stop or park

under emergency conditions.

When the hazard indicator flasher switch is

pushed, all turn signal lights will flash. To turn

off the hazard indicator flasher, push the

Since the spare tire is not equipped with

the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted

or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not

as possible for tire replacement and/or

system resetting.

hazardous.

Never change tires when the oncoming

traffic is close to your vehicle. Call for

professional road assistance.

WARNING:

1. Safely move the vehicle off the road away

from traffic.

2. Turn on the hazard indicator flasher lights.

3. Park on a level surface.

Do not turn the hazard warning flasher

switch to off until you can make sure that it

is safe to do so. Also, the hazard flasher

warning may not blink automatically de-

pending on the force of impact. (if equipped)

Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by NISSAN could affect the

proper operation of the TPMS.

For NISMO models

1. Open the back door.

5. Fit the square end of the jack rod into the

square hole of the wheel nut wrench to

form a handle.

WARNING:

2. Raise the luggage floor board using the

.

When removing jacking tools, be sure the

rubber sound suppressor , used to control

jack stand from rattling against metal, is not

attached to the jacking tool. If rubber sound

suppressor remains on jack when vehicle is

being jacked up, the vehicle will be unstable

and may fall off jack stand causing serious

injury of death.

3. Remove the luggage floor cover.

4. Remove the jacking tools.

8. Seat the T-shaped end of the jack rod into

the T-shaped opening of the spare wheel

winch. Apply pressure to keep the jack rod

engaged in the spare wheel winch and turn

the jack rod counterclockwise to lower the

spare wheel.

CAUTION:

When storing the wheel, make sure that the

hanging plate is in the center of the wheel

and then lift it up into the storage area.

6. Locate the oval opening above the middle

of the rear bumper.

7. Place the T-shaped end of the jack rod

through the opening and direct it towards

the spare wheel winch assembly, located

directly above the spare wheel.

9. Once the spare wheel is completely low-

ered, remove the jack rod and reach under

the vehicle to remove the hanging plate.

10. Carefully slide the spare wheel from under

the rear of the vehicle.

WARNING:

SUPPORTED BY A JACK.

Be sure to block the appropriate wheel to

prevent the vehicle from moving, which may

cause personal injury.

Never use a jack which was not provided

with your vehicle.

The jack, which is provided with your

vehicle, is designed only to lift your

vehicle during a tire change.

Never jack up the vehicle at a location

other than the jack-up point that is

specified.

Place suitable blocks

at both the front and

back of the wheel diagonally opposite the flat

tire to prevent the vehicle from moving when

it is jacked up.

.

Never lift the vehicle more than neces-

sary.

.

Never use blocks on or under the jack.

Never start or run the engine while the

vehicle is on the jack. The vehicle may

move suddenly, and this may cause an

accident.

3. Install the assembled jack rod into the jack

as shown.

4. Carefully raise the vehicle until the clear-

ance between the tire and ground is

achieved.

5. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack

lever and rod with both hands and turn the

jack lever.

Removing tire

1. Remove the wheel nuts.

2. Remove the damaged tire.

CAUTION:

SCE0876

The tire is heavy. Be sure that your feet are

clear from the tire and use gloves as neces-

sary to avoid injury.

1. Place the jack directly under the jack-up

points as illustrated.

The jack should be placed on firm level

NOTE:

For Mexico: Before jacking up the vehicle,

make sure the ignition switch is placed in the

“OFF” position. If the vehicle is lifted up with

the engine running, the auto-leveling sus-

pension will become disabled after 120 sec-

onds. To reset the auto-leveling suspension,

cycle the ignition switch “ON”/“OFF” one time.

2. Loosen each wheel nut, counterclockwise,

one or two turns with the wheel nut

wrench.

Do not remove the wheel nuts until the

tire is off the ground.

5. Tighten the wheel nuts securely, with the

wheel nut wrench, in the sequence illu-

strated.

STOWING DAMAGED TIRE AND TOOLS

WARNING:

6. Lower the vehicle completely.

Be sure that the tire, jack and tools are

properly stored after use. Such items can

become dangerous projectiles in an accident

or sudden stop.

Tighten the wheel nuts to the specified

torque with

a torque wrench as soon as

possible.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

133 N·m (14 kg-m, 98 ft-lb)

1. Securely store the damaged tire, jack and

tools in the storage area in the reverse

order of removal. (See “Preparing tools and

spare tire” (P.6-3).)

2. Replace the luggage floor cover.

3. Close the luggage floor board.

4. Close the back door.

The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to

specification at all times. It is recommended

that the wheel nuts be tightened to specifi-

cation at each lubrication interval.

provided with your vehicle. Incorrect

wheel nuts or improperly tightened

wheel nuts may cause the wheel to

become loose or come off. This could

cause an accident.

For model equipped with Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)

Never use oil or grease on the wheel

studs or nuts. This may cause the wheel

nuts to become loose.

After adjusting tire pressure to the COLD tire

pressure, the display of the tire pressure

information (if equipped) may show higher

pressure than the COLD tire pressure after

the vehicle has been driven more than 1.6 km (1

mile). This is because the tire pressurizes as the

tire temperature rises. This does not indicate a

system malfunction.

1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface

between the wheel and hub.

2. Carefully put the spare tire on and tighten

the wheel nuts with your fingers. Check

that all the wheel nuts contact the wheel

surface horizontally.

3. Tighten the wheel nuts alternately and

evenly in the sequence illustrated (

-

),

more than

2 times with the wheel nut

wrench, until they are tight.

4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire

touches the ground.

JUMP STARTING

WARNING:

.

Incorrect jump starting can lead to a

battery explosion. The battery explosion

may result in severe injury or death. It

may also result in damage to the vehicle.

Be sure to follow the instructions in this

section.

.

Explosive hydrogen gas is always present

in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all

sparks and flames away from the battery.

Always wear suitable eye protection and

remove rings, bracelets, and any other

jewelry whenever working on or near a

battery.

Never lean over the battery while jump

starting.

Never allow battery fluid to come into

contact with eyes, skin, clothes or the

a corrosive sulfuric acid which can cause

severe burns. If the fluid comes into

contact with anything, immediately flush

the contacted area with plenty of water.
