Tire chains Use of tire chains may be prohibited according to location. Check the local laws before installing tire chains. When installing tire chains, make sure they are of proper size for the tires on your vehicle and are installed according to the chain manufacturer's suggestions. Use only SAE Class ''S'' chains. Other types may damage your vehicle. Use chain tensioners when recommended by the tire chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links of the tire chain must be secured or removed to prevent the possibility of whipping action damage to the fenders or undercarriage. If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle when using tire chains. In addition, drive at a reduced speed. Do not exceed maximum speed suggested by the chain manufacturer. Otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/or vehicle handling and performance may be adversely affected. Never install tire chains on T-type and small size spare tires. Do not use tire chains on dry roads. WARNING ● After rotating the tires, adjust the tire pressure. ● Retighten the lug nuts after the wheels have been run for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire, etc.). ● Do not include the T-type spare tire or any other small size spare tire in the tire rotation. ADI0656 Tire rotation NISSAN recommends rotating the tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km). Tighten wheel nuts to 72 to 87 ft-lb (98 to 118 N⅐m). See ''Flat tire'' in the ''In case of emergency'' section for tire replacing procedures. Do-it-yourself 8-29

fit. Loose end links of the tire chain must be
secured or removed to prevent the possibil-
ity of whipping action damage to the fenders

In addition, drive at a reduced speed. Do not
exceed maximum speed suggested by the
