¼ If the wheels are changed for any reason, always replace with wheels which have the same off-set dimension. Wheels of a different off-set could cause premature tire wear, degrade 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. Refer to "Wheels and Tires" in the "Technical and consumer information" section of this manual for wheel offset dimensions. ¼ When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute and remain on after the 1 minute. Contact your NISSAN dealer as soon as possible for tire replacement and/or system resetting. (For models with the low tire pressure warning system) ¼ Replacing tires with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the TPMS. (For models with the low tire pressure warning system) ¼ Do not install a deformed wheel or tire even if it has been repaired. Such wheels or tires could have structural damage and could fail without warning. ¼ The use of retread tires is not recommended. ¼ For additional information regarding tires, refer to "Important Tire Safety Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada) in the Warranty Information Booklet. Spin balancing the wheels on the vehicle could lead to mechanical damage. For additional information regarding tires, refer to "Important Tire Safety Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada) in the Warranty Information booklet. Care of wheels ¼ Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to maintain their appearance. ¼ Clean the inner side of the wheels when the wheel is changed or the underside of the vehicle is washed. ¼ Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing the wheels. ¼ Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of pressure or poor seal at the tire bead. ¼ NISSAN recommends waxing the road wheel sidewalls to protect against road salt in areas where it is used during winter. Wheel balance Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and tire life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as required. Wheel balance service should be performed with the wheels off the vehicle. Spare tire (TEMPORARY USE ONLY (T-type) spare tire) Observe the following precautions if the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire must be used.
