If excessive tire wear is found, it is recommended
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.
Contact a NISSAN dealer.

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 bal-
anced 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
Information” (US) or “Tire Safety Infor-
mation” (Canada) in the Warranty In-
formation Booklet.

Care of wheels

● Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle

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 areas
where it is used during winter.
