IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION1 which the tire should turn. When rotating this type of tire, care must be taken to maintain the proper turning direction as indicated by the arrows. Some vehicles have different tire sizes specified for front and rear axles. Tires on these vehicles should not be rotated side to side (unless they are non-directional). Where a temporary type spare tire is available, it should not be included in the tire rotation schedule. Such tires are intended for temporary use only. 45 TIRE ALTERATIONS Do not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations may prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage, which can result in an accident. Tires which become unserviceable due to alterations such as truing, whitewall inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids, may be excluded from warranty coverage. Consult your tire warranty. 6) REPLACING TWO TIRES If your vehicle was originally equipped with four tires that were the same size and you are only replacing two of the four tires, install the new tires on the rear axle. Placing new tires on the front axle may cause loss of vehicle control in some driving conditions and cause an accident and personal injury. HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES 1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Nissan vehicle is designed for temporary use only and must not be used continually as a regular tire. The standard tire should be repaired and/or replaced as soon as possible. Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire through impact or cutting, such as potholes, glass, metal, etc. Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h) for non-speed-rated temporary spare tires. Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife which can vary depending on road conditions and your driving habits. The spare tire should be returned to the trunk as soon as the standard tire can be repaired or replaced. Because the high-pressure spare tire was specifically designed for your car, it should not be used on any other vehicle. TRAILER TOWING If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire dealer for advice concerning the correct size of tire and pressure. Tire size and pressure will depend on the type and size of the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure or the tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and your OWNER'S MANUAL for further recommendations on trailer towing. 2) 3) 4) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure spare. This could cause damage to your vehicle. 7) Check the tire's cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm2) even when not in use. 8) The high-pressure spare tire should not be used with any other rim nor should standard tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used on the high-pressure spare tire rim which was originally installed. 9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire, replace it only with the same type spare tire. 10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a temporary spare tire fitted. 11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a high-pressure temporary spare. Note: When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure to follow the vehicle OWNER'S MANUAL instructions. (Continued on next page) 5)
