WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and
tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out
of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
Wheel balance service should be performed with
the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing the front
wheels on the vehicle could lead to transmission
damage.
SPARE TYRE
The temporary-use spare wheel/tyre can be identi-
fied by the temporary-use spare tyre label which
contrasts to the standard road wheels. If in doubt,
contact a NISSAN dealer, qualified workshop or
see “Spare tyre” in the “6. In case of emergency”
section.
Emergency tyre puncture repair kit
(where fitted)
The emergency tyre puncture repair kit is supplied
to the vehicle instead of a spare tyre. The repair kit
must be used for temporarily fixing a minor tyre
puncture. After using the repair kit, see a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop as soon as possible for
tyre inspection and repair/replacement.
CAUTION
Do not use the emergency tyre puncture repair
kit under the following conditions. Contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop or profes-
sional road assistance.
when the sealant has passed its expiration
date (shown on the label attached to the seal-
ant bottle)
when the cut or the puncture is approximately
4 mm (0.16 in) or longer
when the side of the tyre is damaged
when the vehicle has been driven with a con-
siderable loss of air from the tyre
when the tyre is completely displaced inside
or outside the rim

See “Spare tyre” in the “6. In case of emergency”
