34 IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION1 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. 5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was specifically designed for your car, it should not be used on any other vehicle. 6) 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 car wash 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. 4) 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. TIRE STORAGE All tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so that there is no danger of water collecting inside them. When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool place away from sources of heat and ozone such as hot pipes and electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on which tires are stored are clean and free from grease, gasoline or other substances which could deteriorate the rubber. (Tires exposed to these materials during storage or driving could be subject to sudden failure.) To Avoid Damage to your Tires and Possible Accident: ● Check tire pressure at least once a month when tires are cold and before long trips. ● Do not underinflate/overinflate. ● Do not overload. ● Drive at moderate speeds, observe legal limits. ● Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles, curbs or edges of pavement. ● Avoid excessive wheel spinning. ● If you see any damage to a tire, replace with spare and see the tire manufacturer's dealer or your Nissan dealership.

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. 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. 2) 3)
