The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR)

located

the

F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification
label. The vehicle weight capac-
ity is indicated on the Tire and
Loading Information label. Do
not load your vehicle beyond
this capacity. Overloading your
vehicle may result in reduced
tire life, unsafe operating condi-
tions due to premature tire fail-
ure, or unfavorable handling
characteristics and could also
lead to a serious accident. Load-
ing beyond the specified capac-
ity may also result in failure of
other vehicle components.

•

Before taking a long trip, or
whenever you heavily load your
vehicle, use a tire pressure
gauge to ensure that the tire
pressures are at the specified
level.

Checking tire pressure

1. Remove the valve stem cap from

the tire.

2. Press

the

pressure

gauge

squarely onto the valve stem. Do
not press too hard or force the
valve stem sideways, or air will es-
cape. If the hissing sound of air
escaping from the tire is heard
while checking the pressure, re-
position the gauge to eliminate
this leakage.

3. Remove the gauge.

4. Read the tire pressure on the

gauge stem and compare to the
specification shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label.

5. Add air to the tire as needed. If too

much air is added, press the core
of the valve stem briefly with the
tip of the gauge stem to release
pressure. Recheck the pressure
and add or release air as needed.

6. Install the valve stem cap.

7. Check the pressure of all other

tires, including the spare.

TIRE LABELING

Federal law requires tire manufac-
turers to place standardized infor-
mation on the sidewall of all tires.
This information identifies and de-
scribes the fundamental character-
istics of the tire and also provides the
Tire Identification Number (TIN) for
safety standard certification. The TIN
can be used to identify the tire in
case of a recall.

Tire size (example: P215/65R15

95H)

1. P: The “P” indicates the tire is de-

signed for passenger vehicles (not
all tires have this information).

2. Three-digit number (215): This

number gives the width in milli-
meters of the tire from sidewall
edge to sidewall edge.

3. Two-digit number (65): This num-

ber, known as the aspect ratio,
gives the tire's ratio of height to
width.

4. R: The “R” stands for radial.

5. Two-digit number (15): This num-

ber is the wheel or rim diameter in
inches.

TYPES OF TIRES

WARNING

•

When changing or replacing tires, be
sure all four tires are of the same type
(i.e., Summer, All Season or Snow)
and construction. A NISSAN dealer
may be able to help you with infor-
mation about tire type, size, speed
rating and availability.

•

Replacement tires may have a lower
speed

rating

than

the

factory

equipped tires, and may not match
the

potential

maximum

vehicle

speed. Never exceed the maximum
speed rating of the tire.

•

Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the low
tire pressure warning system.

•

Always use tires of the same type,
size, brand, construction and tread
pattern on all four wheels. Failure to
do so may result in a circumference
difference between tires on the front
and rear axles which can cause the
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) sys-
tem to malfunction resulting in per-
sonal injury or death, excessive tire
wear and may damage the transmis-
sion, transfer case and differential
gears.

•

For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety
Information” (US) or “Tire Safety In-
formation” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.

All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models

CAUTION

•

ONLY use spare tires specified for the
AWD model.

If excessive tire wear is found, it is recom-
mended that all four tires be replaced with
tires of the same size, brand, construction
and tread pattern. The tire pressure and
wheel alignment should also be checked

8-34

Do-it-yourself

and corrected as necessary. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

All season tires

NISSAN specifies All Season tires on some
models to provide good performance all
year, including snowy and icy road condi-
tions. All Season tires are identified by ALL
SEASON and/or M&S on the tire sidewall.
Snow tires have better snow traction than
All Season tires and may be more appropri-
ate in some areas.

Summer tires

NISSAN specifies summer tires on some
models to provide superior performance
on dry roads. Summer tire performance is
substantially reduced in snow and ice.
Summer tires do not have the tire traction
rating “M&S” on the tire sidewall.

If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy
or icy conditions, NISSAN recommends the
use of SNOW tires or ALL SEASON tires on all
four wheels.

Snow tires

If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to
select tires equivalent in size and load rat-
ing to the original equipment tires. If you do
not, it can adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.

Generally, snow tires have lower speed rat-
ings than factory equipped tires and may
not match the potential maximum vehicle
speed. Never exceed the maximum speed
rating of the tire.

If you install snow tires, they must be the
same size, brand, construction and tread
pattern on all four wheels.

For additional traction on icy roads, stud-
ded tires may be used. However, some U.S.
states and Canadian provinces prohibit
their use. Check local, state and provincial
laws before installing studded tires. Skid
and traction capabilities of studded snow
tires on wet or dry surfaces may be poorer
than that of non-studded snow tires.

TIRE CHAINS

CAUTION

Tire chains/cables should not be in-
stalled on 235/55R20 size tires. Instal-
lation of the tire chains/cables on 235/
55R20 size tires will cause damage to
the vehicle. If you plan to use tire
chains/cables, you should install 235/
65R18 size tires on your vehicle.

Use of tire chains may be prohibited ac-
cording to location. Check the local laws
before installing tire chains. When installing
tire chains, make sure they are the proper
size for the tires on your vehicle and are
installed according to the chain manufac-
turer's suggestions.

Use only SAE class “S”

chains.

Class “S” chains are used on ve-

hicles with restricted tire to vehicle clear-
ance. Vehicles that can use Class “S” chains
are designed to meet the minimum clear-
ances between the tire and the closest
vehicle suspension or body component
required to accommodate the use of a
winter traction device (tire chains or
cables). The minimum clearances are de-
termined using the factory equipped tire
size. Other types may damage your vehicle.

Do-it-yourself

8-35

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 underbody. If possible,
avoid fully loading your vehicle when using
tire chains. In addition, drive at a reduced
speed. Otherwise, your vehicle may be
damaged and/or vehicle handling and
performance may be adversely affected.

Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving
with chains in such conditions can cause
damage to the various mechanisms of the
vehicle due to some overstress.

CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES

Tire rotation

NISSAN recommends rotating the
tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km).

For additional information on tire re-
placing procedures, see “Flat tire”
(P. 6-3).

As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

83 ft-lb (113 N·m)

The wheel nuts must be kept tight-
ened to specifications at all times.
It is recommended that wheel nuts
be tightened to specification at
each tire rotation interval.

WARNING

•

After rotating the tires, check
and adjust the tire pressure.

•

Retighten the wheel nuts when
the vehicle has been driven for
600 miles (1,000 km) (also in
cases of a flat tire, etc.).

•

Do not include the spare tire in
the tire rotation.

•

For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.

WARNING

•

Tires should be periodically in-
spected

for

wear,

cracking,

bulging or objects caught in
the tread. If excessive wear,
cracks, bulging or deep cuts
are found, the tire(s) should be
replaced.

•

The original tires have built-in
tread wear indicators. When
the wear indicators are visible,
the tire(s) should be replaced.

•

Tires degrade with age and
use. Have tires, including the
spare, over 6 years old checked
by a qualified technician be-
cause some tire damage may
not be obvious. Replace the
tires as necessary to prevent
tire failure and possible per-
sonal injury.

•

Improper service of the spare
tire may result in serious per-
sonal injury. If it is necessary to
repair the spare tire, it is rec-
ommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

•

For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.

Replacing wheels and tires

When replacing a tire, use the same size,
tread design, speed rating and load carry-
ing capacity as originally equipped. For ad-
ditional information, see “Wheels and tires”
(P. 10-10).

WDI0259

8-37

WARNING

•

The use of tires other than those rec-
ommended or the mixed use of tires
of

different

brands,

construction

(bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread
patterns can adversely affect the
ride, braking, handling, VDC system,
ground clearance, body-to-tire clear-
ance, tire chain clearance, speedom-
eter calibration, headlight aim and
bumper height. Some of these ef-
fects may lead to accidents and
could

result

serious

personal

injury.

•

For 2WD models, 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.

•

If the wheels are changed for any
reason, always replace with wheels
which have the same off-set dimen-
sion. Wheels of a different off-set
could cause premature tire wear, de-
grade vehicle handling characteris-
tics, affect the VDC system and/or in-
terference with the brake discs. Such
interference can lead to decreased
braking efficiency and/or early brake
pad wear. For additional information
on wheel off-set dimensions, see
“Wheels and tires” (P. 10-10).

•

When using a wheel without the
TPMS, such as the spare tire, the
TPMS will not function and the low
tire pressure warning light will flash
for approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after 1 minute. Have
your tires replaced and/or TPMS sys-
tem reset as soon as possible. It is
recommended

that

you

visit

NISSAN dealer for this service.

•

Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.

•

The TPMS sensor may be damaged if
it is not handled correctly. Be careful
when handling the TPMS sensor.

•

When replacing the TPMS sensor,
the ID registration may be required.
It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for ID registration.

•

Do not use a valve stem cap that is
not specified by NISSAN. The valve
stem cap may become stuck.

•

Be sure that the valve stem caps are
correctly fitted. Otherwise the valve
may be clogged up with dirt and cause
a malfunction or loss of pressure.

•

Do not install a damaged or de-
formed wheel or tire even if it has
been repaired. Such wheels or tires
could have structural damage and
could fail without warning.

•

The use of retread tires is not
recommended.

•

For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety
Information” (US) or “Tire Safety In-
formation” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.

Wheel balance

Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Even with regular use,
wheels can get out of balance. Therefore,
they should be balanced as required.

Wheel balance service should be per-
formed with the wheels off the vehicle.
Spin balancing the wheels on the vehicle
could lead to mechanical damage.

•

For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety In-
formation” (US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet.

Care of wheels

• Wash the wheels when washing the ve-

hicle to maintain their appearance.

• Clean the inner side of the wheels when

the wheel is changed or the underside of
the vehicle is washed.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners when

washing the wheels.

• Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or

corrosion. Such damage may cause loss
of pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.

• NISSAN recommends waxing the road

wheels to protect against road salt in ar-
eas where it is used during winter.

Spare tire (TEMPORARY USE ONLY
spare tire)

When using a wheel without the TPMS such
as the spare tire, the TPMS will not function.

Observe the following precautions if the
TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire must be
used. Otherwise, your vehicle could be
damaged or involved in an accident:

WARNING

•

The spare tire should be used for
emergency use only. It should be re-
placed with 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.

•

Periodically check spare tire inflation
pressure. Always keep the pressure
of the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare
tire at 420 kPa, 4.2 bar (60 psi).

•

With the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare
tire installed 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
rear wheels and the original tire used
on the front wheels (drive wheels).

•

Tire tread of the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire will wear at a faster
rate than the standard tire. Replace
the spare tire as soon as the tread
wear indicators appear.

•

Do not use the spare tire on other
vehicles.

•

Do not use more than one spare tire
at the same time.

•

Do not tow a trailer when the TEMPO-
RARY USE ONLY spare tire is installed.

CAUTION

•

Do not use tire chains on a TEMPO-
RARY USE ONLY spare tire. Tire chains
will not fit properly and may cause
damage to the vehicle.

mation, see “Exhaust gas (carbon monox-
ide)” (P. 5-4).

Fluid leaks:

Check under the vehicle for

fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the
vehicle has been parked for a while. Water
dripping from the air conditioner after use
is normal. If you should notice any leaks or if
fuel fumes are evident, check for the cause
and have it corrected immediately.

Power steering fluid level* and lines:

Check the level when the fluid is cold, with
the engine off. Check the lines for proper
attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.

Radiator and hoses:

Check the front of the

radiator and clean off any dirt, insects,
leaves, etc., that may have accumulated.
Make sure the hoses have no cracks, defor-
mation, rot or loose connections.

Underbody:

The underbody is frequently

exposed to corrosive substances such as
those used on icy roads or to control dust. It
is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust may form on the
floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the
exhaust system. At the end of winter, the
underbody should be thoroughly flushed
with plain water, being careful to clean
those areas where mud and dirt may accu-
mulate. For additional information, see
“Cleaning exterior” (P. 7-2).

Windshield-washer fluid*:

Check that

there is adequate fluid in the reservoir.

The following descriptions are provided to
give you a better understanding of the
scheduled maintenance items that should
be regularly checked or replaced. The
maintenance schedule indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each item requires
service.

In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your vehicle requires that some items be
checked during normal day-to-day opera-
tion. For additional information, see “Gen-
eral maintenance” (P. 9-2).

Items marked with

“*”

are recommended

by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation.
You are not required to perform mainte-
nance on these items in order to maintain
the warranties which come with your
NISSAN. Other maintenance items and in-
tervals are required.

When applicable, additional information
can be found in the “Do-it-yourself ” section
of this manual.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE ITEMS

Maintenance and schedules

9-5

NOTE:

NISSAN does not advocate the use of
non-OEM approved aftermarket flush-
ing

systems

and

strongly

advises

against performing these services on a
NISSAN product. Many of the aftermar-
ket flushing systems use non-OEM ap-
proved chemicals or solvents, the use of
which has not been validated by NISSAN.

For recommended fuel, lubricants, fluids,
grease, and refrigerant, see “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capaci-
ties” (P. 10-2).

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE:

Air cleaner filter

Replace at specified inter-

vals. When driving for prolonged periods in
dusty conditions, check/replace the filter
more frequently.

Engine coolant*:

Replace coolant at the

specified interval. When adding or replac-
ing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue)
or equivalent with the proper mixture. (For
additional information on the proper mix-
ture for your area, see “Engine cooling sys-
tem” (P. 8-4).

NOTE:

Mixing any other type of coolant or the use
of non-distilled water may reduce the rec-
ommended service interval of the coolant.

Engine drive belts*:

Check engine drives

belt for wear, fraying or cracking and for
proper tension. Replace any damaged
drive belt.

Engine oil and oil filter:

Replace engine oil

and oil filter at the specified intervals. For
recommended oil grade and viscosity see
“Recommended fluids/lubricants and ca-
pacities” (P. 10-2).

Engine valve clearance*:

Inspect only if

valve noise increase. Adjust valve clearance
if necessary.

Fuel filter*:

Periodic maintenance is not re-

quired. (in-tank type filter)

Fuel lines/connections*:

Check the fuel

hoses, piping and connections for leaks,
looseness, or deterioration. Tighten con-
nections or replace parts as necessary.

Fuel tank vapor system*:

Check vapor

lines for leaks or looseness. Tighten con-
nections or replace parts as necessary.

Spark plugs:

Replace at specified intervals.

Install new plugs of the same type as origi-
nally equipped.

CHASSIS AND BODY
MAINTENANCE:

Brake lines and cables:

Visually inspect for

proper installation. Check for chafing,
cracks, deterioration, and signs of leaking.
Replace any deteriorated or damaged
parts immediately.

Brake pads and rotors:

Check for wear,

deterioration and fluid leaks. Replace any
deteriorated or damaged parts immedi-
ately.

Exhaust system:

Visually inspect the ex-

haust pipes, muffler and hangers for leaks,
cracks, deterioration, and damage. Tighten
connections or replace parts as necessary.

In-cabin microfilter:

Replace at specified

intervals. When driving for prolonged peri-
ods in dusty conditions, replace the filter
more frequently.

Propeller shaft(s):

Check for damage,

looseness, and grease leakage. (AWD)

Steering gear and linkage, axle and sus-
pension parts, drive shaft boots:

Check

for damage, looseness, and leakage of oil
or grease. Under severe driving conditions,
inspect more frequently.

9-6

Maintenance and schedules

Tire rotation:

Rotate tires at the specified

interval shown in the maintenance sched-
ule. When rotating tires, check for damage
and uneven wear. Replace if necessary.

Transmission fluid/oil, differential gear
oil, transfer fluid:

Visually inspect for signs

of leakage at specified intervals. If towing a
trailer, using a camper or car-top carrier, or
driving on rough or muddy roads:
• Replace the differential gear oil and trans-

fer fluid every 20,000 miles (32,000 km) or
24 months.

• Replace the CVT fluid every 60,000 miles

(96,000 km)/72 months or request the
dealer to inspect the fluid deterioration
data using a CONSULT. If the deterioration
data is more than 210000, replace the CVT
fluid.

Off-Road Maintenance

Check the follow-

ing items frequently whenever you drive
off-road through deep sand, mud or water:
• Brake pads and rotors
• Brake lines and hoses
• Differential, transmission and transfer

fluid

• Steering linkage

• Propeller shaft(s) and front drive shafts
• Air cleaner filter

To help ensure smooth, safe and economi-
cal driving, NISSAN provides two mainte-
nance schedules that may be used, de-
pending upon the conditions in which you
usually drive. These schedules contain
both distance and time intervals, up to
120,000 miles (192,000 km)/96 months. For
most people, the odometer reading will in-
dicate when service is needed. However,
if you drive very little, your vehicle should
be serviced at the regular time intervals
shown in the schedule.

After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/96
months, continue maintenance at the
same mileage/time intervals.

ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS
FOR SEVERE OPERATING
CONDITIONS

Additional maintenance items for severe
operating conditions

should be per-

formed on vehicles that are driven under
especially demanding conditions. Addi-
tional maintenance items should be per-
formed if you primarily operate your vehicle
under the following conditions:
• Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles

(8 km).

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
