• Replacing tires with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the TPMS. • If you used the Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, your NISSAN certified LEAF dealer will also need to replace the TPMS sensor in addition to repairing or replacing the tire. • NISSAN recommends using only NISSAN Genuine Emergency Tire Sealant provided with your vehicle. Other tire sealants may damage the valve stem seal which can cause the tire to lose air pressure. REPAIRING FLAT TIRE WARNING • After using Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, do not drive the vehicle at speeds faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h). • Immediately after using the Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, take your vehicle to a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer to inspect, and repair or replace the tire. The Emergency Tire Sealant cannot permanently seal a punctured tire. Continuing operation of the vehicle without a permanent tire repair can lead to a crash. • If you used the Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, your NISSAN certified LEAF dealer will also need to replace the TPMS sensor in addition to repairing or replacing the tire. • NISSAN recommends using only NISSAN Genuine Emergency Tire Sealant provided with your vehicle. Other tire sealants may damage the valve stem seal which can cause the tire to lose air pressure. This vehicle does not have a spare tire. The emergency tire puncture repair kit (Emergency Tire Sealant) is supplied with the vehicle instead of a spare tire. It can be used to temporarily repair minor tire punctures. If possible, have the vehicle towed to a facility that can repair or replace the flat tire. Using the emergency tire puncture repair kit may cause a malfunction of the tire pressure sensor and cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate. If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions below. CAUTION • To avoid the emergency tire puncture kit being damaged during storage or use: - Only use the emergency tire puncture repair kit on your vehicle. Do not use it on other vehicles. - Only use the kit to inflate the tires of your vehicle and to check the vehicle's tire pressure. - Only plug the compressor into a 12volt DC car power point. - Keep the kit free of water and dirt. - Do not disassemble or modify the kit. - Do not drop the kit or allow hard impacts to the kit. 6-4 In case of emergency
