1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface between
the wheel and the hub.
2. Carefully fit the wheel and tighten the wheel nuts
with your fingers. Check that all the wheel nuts
contact the wheel surface horizontally and on the
bevelled side.
Models with wheel lock nuts (where fitted):
If the wheel is equipped with a wheel lock nut,
insert the wheel lock key
j1 and loosen it as pre-
viously described.
3. With the wheel wrench, tighten the wheel nuts
alternately and evenly in the sequence as illus-
trated (
j1-j4 ) until they are tight.
4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tyre touches
the ground.
5. Tighten the wheel nuts securely using the wheel
wrench in the sequence as illustrated.

NOTE
Before installation, align NISSAN logo (centre
cap) with the wheel nuts/or perpendicular to
valve hole (where fitted), to correctly align to
the centre.
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque with a torque wrench
Wheel nut tightening torque:
108 N•m (11 kg-m, 80 ft-lb)
WARNING
Retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle has
been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles) (also in
cases of a flat tyre, etc.).
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to specifica-
tion at all times. It is recommended that the wheel
nuts be tightened to specification at each mainte-
nance interval.
Adjust the tyre pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure is the tyre pressure as measured
after the vehicle has been parked for three hours or
more or driven for less than 1.6 km (1 mile).
COLD tyre pressures are shown on the tyre placard
affixed to the driver’s side centre pillar.
Stowing the wheel and tools
WARNING
Always make sure that the wheel, jack and tools
are properly stored after each use. Such items
can become dangerous projectiles in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.
Securely store the wheel with the flat tyre, the jack
and the tools in the specified storage areas.
After replacing the flat tyre:
See a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for tyre
repair/replacement, as soon as possible.
Wheel lock nuts (where fitted)
In order to prevent theft, the specially designed
wheel lock nut is installed to each wheel and it can
only be removed with the lock key. The wheel lock
nut cannot be removed with the commonly used
tools.
When removing tyres, use the wheel lock key pro-
vided with your vehicle.
