● 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. ● Periodically check spare tire inflation pressure. Always keep the pressure of the T135/70D16 spare tire at 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 bar). Always keep the pressure of the P215/75R15 spare tire at 26 psi (180 kPa, 1.8 bar). ● Do not drive the vehicle at speeds faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h). ● When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire should be used on the front wheels and the original tire used on the rear wheels (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 TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire as soon as the tread wear indicators appear. ● Do not use the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire on other vehicles. ● Do not use more than one TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire at the same time. 7-29 ● Do not tow a trailer when the TEMPORARY USE ONLY T135/70D16 spare is installed. 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: WARNING ● The spare tire should be used for emergency use only. It should be replaced by 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. CAUTION ● The transfer control lever must be in the 2H position to prevent the transfer case and differential gears from being damaged. ● Do not use tire chains on a TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire. Tire chains will not fit properly on a TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire and may cause damage to the vehicle. ● Because the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire is smaller than the original tire, ground clearance is reduced. To avoid damage to the vehicle, do not drive over obstacles. Also, do not drive the vehicle through an automatic car wash since it might get caught.

●
Do
not
use
abrasive
cleaners
when
washing the wheels.
●
Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or
corrosion. This may cause loss of pres-
sure 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 TEM-
PORARY USE ONLY spare tire.
To avoid property damage or personal in-
jury when using the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire, observe the following cau-
tions:
WARNING
●
The spare tire should be used for
emergency use only. It should be
replaced by the standard tire at the
first opportunity to avoid possible
tire or differential damage.
●
Drive
carefully
while
the
TEMPO-
RARY USE ONLY spare tire is in-
stalled.
Avoid
sharp
turns
and
abrupt braking while driving.
●
Periodically check spare tire infla-
tion pressure. Always keep the pres-
sure of the T135/70D16 spare tire at
60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 bar). Always
keep the pressure of the P215/75R15
spare tire at 26 psi (180 kPa, 1.8 bar).
●
Do not drive the vehicle at speeds
faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h).
●
When driving on roads covered with
snow or ice, the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire should be used on
the front wheels and the original tire
used
on
the
rear
wheels
(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 TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare
tire as soon as the tread wear indi-
cators appear.
●
Do not use the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire on other vehicles.
●
Do not use more than one TEMPO-
RARY USE ONLY spare tire at the
same time.
●
Do not tow a trailer when the TEM-
PORARY
USE
ONLY
T135/70D16
spare is installed.
CAUTION
●
The transfer control lever must
be in the 2H position to prevent the
transfer case and differential gears
from being damaged.
●
Do not use tire chains on a TEMPO-
RARY
USE
ONLY
spare
tire.
Tire
chains will not fit properly on a TEM-
PORARY USE ONLY spare tire and
may cause damage to the vehicle.
●
Because
the
TEMPORARY
USE
ONLY spare tire is smaller than the
original tire, ground clearance is re-
duced. To avoid damage to the ve-
hicle, do not drive over obstacles.
Also,
do
not
drive
the
vehicle
through an automatic car wash since
it might get caught.
