CAUTION ● After rotating the tires, adjust the tire pressure. ● Retighten the wheel nuts after the wheels have been run for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire, etc.). ● Do not include the T-type spare tire or any other small size spare tire in the tire rotation. MDI0004 it is necessary to repair the T-type spare tire, contact your NISSAN dealer. Changing tires and wheels When replacing a tire, use the same size, speed rating and load carrying capacity as originally equipped. Recommended types and sizes are shown in ''Wheels and tires'' in the ''Technical information'' section. The use of tires other than those recommended, or the mixed use of tires of different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns can adversely affect the ride, braking, handling, ground clearance, bodyto-tire clearance, snow chain clearance, speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents and could result in serious personal injury. If the wheels are changed for any reason, always replace with wheels which have the same offset dimension. Wheels of a different offset could cause early tire wear, poor vehicle handling characteristics and/or interference with the brake discs/drums. Such interference can lead to decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe wear. Tire wear and damage CAUTION Tires should be periodically inspected for wear, cracking, bulging, or objects caught in the tread. If excessive wear, cracks, bulging, or deep cuts are found, the tire should be replaced. The original tires have a built-in tread wear indicator. When the wear indicator is visible, the tire should be replaced. Improper service for a T-type spare tire may result in serious personal injury. If 7-34
