WHEELS AND TIRES affect tire life and vehicle handling. COLD pressure: After vehicle has been parked for three hours or more or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). WARNING ● Improperly inflated tires can fail suddenly and cause an accident ● The vehicle weight capacity is indicated on the tire placard. Do not load your vehicle beyond this capacity. Overloading your vehicle may result in reduced tire life, unsafe operating conditions due to premature tire failure, or unfavorable handling characteristics and could also lead to a serious accident. Loading beyond the specified capacity may also result in failure of other vehicle components. ● Before taking a long trip, or whenever you have loaded your vehicle heavily, use a tire pressure gauge to ensure that the tire pressure is at the specified level. ● Do not drive your vehicle over 85 MPH (137 km/h) unless it is equipped with high capability tires. Driving faster than 85 MPH (137 km/h) may result in tire failure, loss of control and possible injury. Types of tires WARNING When changing or replacing tires, be sure all four tires are of the same type (i.e., Summer, All Season or Snow) and construction. An authorized NISSAN dealer may be able to help you with information about tire type, size, speed rating and availability. Replacement tires may have a lower speed rating than the factory equipped tires, and may not match the potential maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed the maximum speed rating of the tire.

If you have a flat tire, see the ‘‘In case of
emergency’’ section of this manual.
Maximum inflation pressure
Do not exceed the maximum inflation pres-
sures shown on the side wall of the tire.
Tire inflation pressure
Periodically check the tire pressure (includ-
ing the spare). Tire pressure should be
checked when tires are COLD. COLD tire
pressures are shown on the tire placard
affixed to the inside of the glove box lid.
Incorrect tire pressure may adversely
affect tire life and vehicle handling.
COLD pressure:
After
vehicle
has
been
parked
for
three hours or more or driven less
than 1 mile (1.6 km).
WARNING
●
Improperly inflated tires can fail sud-
denly and cause an accident
●
The vehicle weight capacity is indi-
cated on the tire placard. Do not load
your vehicle beyond this capacity.
Overloading your vehicle may result
in reduced tire life, unsafe operating
conditions due to premature tire fail-
ure, or unfavorable handling charac-
teristics
and
could
also
lead
to
a
serious accident. Loading beyond the
specified capacity may also result in
failure of other vehicle components.
●
Before taking a long trip, or when-
ever you have loaded your vehicle
heavily, use a tire pressure gauge to
ensure that the tire pressure is at the
specified level.
●
Do not drive your vehicle over 85
MPH (137 km/h) unless it is equipped
with
high
capability
tires.
Driving
faster than 85 MPH (137 km/h) may
result in tire failure, loss of control
and possible injury.
