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 and 4WD system to malfunction
resulting in personal injury or death,
excessive tire wear and may damage
the transmission 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 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.

Do-it-yourself

8-41

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

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 ve-
hicle suspension or body component re-
quired 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.
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.

Tire chains must be installed only on the
rear wheels and not on the front wheels.

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.

Use only the 2WD range when driving on
clear paved roads.

CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES

Tire rotation

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

For additional information on tire
replacing 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:

Non-XD models:

98 ft-lb (133 N·m)

XD models:

131 ft-lb (177 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

•

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 Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.

•

After rotating the tires, do not
use the Easy-Fill Tire Alert to
adjust the tire pressure. In-
stead use a gauge to adjust the
tires to the correct pressure in
accordance with Tire and Load-
ing Information label.

CAUTION

To ensure proper operation of the
Easy-Fill Tire Alert system after a
tire rotation, re-set and register
the sensor to their new installed
locations. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

Tire wear and damage

1. Wear indicator

2. Location mark

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. Rec-
ommended types and sizes are shown in
“Wheels and tires” (P. 10-10).

Do-it-yourself

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, Vehicle Dy-
namic Control (VDC) system, 4WD,
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.

•

your

vehicle

was

originally

equipped with four tires that were
the same size and you are only re-
placing 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/shoe wear. For additional infor-
mation 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 system
reset as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

•

Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect 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. Con-
tact

NISSAN

dealer

for

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

malfunction

loss

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.

Do-it-yourself

8-45

Four-wheel drive models

CAUTION

Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted
or radial), 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 will
cause excessive tire wear and may
damage

the

transmission,

transfer

case and differential gears.

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

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 (FULL SIZE TEMPORARY
USE ONLY spare tire)

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

Your vehicle may be equipped with a full
size spare that is a different size or brand
than the tires originally installed on the ve-
hicle. This full size spare tire is intended for
temporary use only and should be re-
placed at the first opportunity.

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

WARNING

To help reduce the risk of a crash which
may result in personal injury or death:

•

The TEMPORARY FULL SIZE spare tire
should be used for emergency use
only. It should be replaced with the
standard tire at the first opportunity
to avoid possible tire or differential
damage.

8-46

Do-it-yourself

•

Drive carefully while the TEMPORARY
FULL SIZE spare tire is installed. Avoid
sharp turns and abrupt braking while
driving. The vehicle driving perfor-
mance may be affected when driving
on wet or snow covered roads.

•

When the TEMPORARY FULL SIZE
spare is installed, the following sys-
tems may not work correctly:

–

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS)

–

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)

System

•

Periodically check the TEMPORARY
FULL SIZE spare tire inflation pres-
sure. Always keep the TEMPORARY
FULL SIZE inflated to the pressure
specification shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label.

•

With the TEMPORARY FULL SIZE 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 FULL
SIZE spare tire should be used on the
front wheels and the original tire
used on the rear wheels. Use tire
chains only on the drive wheels.

•

Do not use the TEMPORARY FULL SIZE
spare tire on other vehicles.

•

Do not use more than one TEMPO-
RARY FULL SIZE spare tire at the same
time.

•

•

Customer can identify TEMPORARY
FULL SIZE spare tire condition by
checking the Tire and loading infor-
mation label located on the B-pillar.

CAUTION

•

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

•

Use of the TEMPORARY FULL SIZE
spare tire on a vehicle that has tires

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 from the underbody, otherwise
rust may form on the floor pan, frame, fuel
lines and exhaust system. At the end of
winter, the underbody should be thor-
oughly flushed with plain water, in those
areas where mud and dirt may have accu-
mulated. For additional information, see

Maintenance and schedules

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

case oil

• Steering linkage
• Propeller shaft(s) and front drive shafts
• Engine air filter
• Clutch housing drain (4WD only)

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

in normal temperatures or less than 10
miles in freezing temperatures.

• Stop-and-go traffic in hot weather or low

speed driving for long distances.

• Driving in dusty conditions or on rough,

muddy or salt-spread roads.

• Towing a trailer, or using a camper or car-

top carrier.

If your vehicle is mainly operated under the
severe conditions, follow the severe use
maintenance intervals shown in the main-
tenance schedule.
