with the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing the front wheels on the vehicle could lead to transmission damage. WARNING The spare tire should be used for emergency use only. It should be replaced with the standard tire at the first opportunity to avoid possible tire or differential damage. Drive carefully while the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire is installed. Avoid sharp turns and abrupt braking while driving. Periodically check spare tire inflation pressure. Always keep the pressure of the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire at 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 bar). Always keep the pressure of the full size spare tire (if so equipped) at the recommended pressure for standard tires, as indicated on the tire placard. For tire placard location, see "Tire placard" in the index of this manual. With the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire installed do not drive the vehicle at speeds faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h). Care of wheels Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to maintain their appearance. Clean the inner side of the wheels when the wheel is changed or the underside of the vehicle is washed. Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing the wheels. Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corrosion. This may cause loss of pressure or damage the tire bead. NISSAN recommends waxing the road wheels to protect against road salt in areas where it is used during winter. Spare tire Your vehicle may be equipped with a TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire. To avoid property damage or personal injury when using the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire, observe the following cautions: When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire should be used on the front axle and the original tire used on the rear axle (drive wheels). Use tire chains only on the two rear original tires. Tire tread of the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire will wear at a faster rate than the standard tire. Replace the spare tire as soon as the tread wear indicators appear. Do not use the spare tire on other vehicles. Do not use more than one spare tire at the same time. Do not tow a trailer when the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire is installed. CAUTION With the spare tire installed the transfer control lever must be in the 2H position to prevent the transfer case and differential gears from being damaged. 8-38 Do-it-yourself
