adjust the tire pressure.

Tire wear and damage
WARNING
Tires should be periodically in-
spected for wear, cracking, bulg-
ing 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 because
some tire damage may not be ob-
vious. Replace the tires as neces-
sary to prevent tire failure and
possible personal injury.
Improper service of the spare tire
may result in serious personal in-
jury. If it is necessary to repair the
spare tire, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” (US) or

mation Booklet.
