parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds. COLD tire pressures are shown on the tire placard affixed to the center pillar. Low tire pressure warning system (if so equipped) The low tire pressure warning system displays the tire pressure of all tires (except the spare tire) on the display screen by sending a signal from a sensor that is installed in each wheel. For more details, refer to "Low tire pressure warning light" in the "2. Instruments and controls" section, "Low tire pressure warning system" in the "5. Starting and driving" section, and "Flat tire" in the "6. In case of emergency" section. If the tire pressure displayed on the display screen is lower than the COLD tire pressure shown on the tire placard, check the pressure of all four tires and adjust them to the COLD tire pressure as indicated above. The low tire pressure warning system will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 20 MPH (32 km/h). ¼ The vehicle capacity weight 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. ¼ 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. ¼ Do not drive your vehicle over 85 MPH (140 km/h) unless it is equipped with high speed capability tires. Driving faster than 85 MPH (140 km/h) may result in tire failure, loss of control and possible injury. ¼ For additional information regarding tires, refer to "Important Tire Safety Information" (US) or "Tire Safety In- formation" (Canada) in the Warranty Information booklet. TYPES OF TIRES CAUTION ¼ When changing or replacing tires, be sure all four tires are of the same type (for example, summer, all season or snow) and construction. Your 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. ¼ For additional information regarding tires, refer to "Important Tire Safety Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada) in the Warranty Information booklet. WARNING ¼ Improperly inflated tires can fail suddenly and cause an accident. 8-28 Maintenance and do-it-yourself
