JUMP STARTING

To start your engine with a booster

battery, the instructions and precautions

below must be followed.

If the tire pressure is 19 psi (130 kPa) or

more but less than the specified pres-

sure:

Turn the compressor switch to the ON (−)

position and inflate the tire up to the

specified pressure. Then repeat the steps

from 8.

If the pressure drops again, the tire

cannot be repaired with this tire punc-

ture repair kit. It is recommended that

contact a NISSAN dealer.

Whenever working on or near a

battery, always wear suitable eye

protectors (for example, goggles

or industrial safety spectacles)

and remove rings, metal bands,

or any other jewelry. Do not lean

over the battery when jump start-

ing.

Do not attempt to jump start a

frozen battery. It could explode

and cause serious injury.

Your vehicle has an automatic

engine cooling fan. It could come

on at any time. Keep hands and

other objects away from it.

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.

Do not allow battery fluid to come

into contact with eyes, skin,

clothing or painted surfaces. Bat-

tery fluid is a corrosive sulfuric

acid solution which can cause

severe burns. If the fluid should

come into contact with anything,

immediately flush the contacted

area with water.

When the tire pressure is the specified

pressure:

The temporary repair is completed.

It is recommended that visit a NISSAN

dealer for tire repair/replacement as soon

as possible.

CAUTION

Do not reuse the tire sealant bottle

or the hose.

For a new tire sealant bottle and

hose, it is recommended that con-

tact a NISSAN dealer.

Keep the battery out of the reach

of children.

The booster battery must be

rated at 12 volts. Use of an im-

properly rated battery can da-

mage your vehicle.
