Tire repair
1. Shake the container of sealant thoroughly.
2. Remove the sealant bottle cap and the orange cap from the air compressor.
3. Screw a can of sealant into the compressor port (which was covered with an orange lid).

8. Turn on the compressor and inflate the tire to the pressure indicated on the plate located on the middle pillar of the body on the driver's side.
Attention. Do not run the compressor for more than 10 minutes.
If you are unable to inflate the tire to the correct pressure within 10 minutes, the tire is too badly damaged and cannot be repaired with a temporary tire repair kit. Contact an authorized Nissan dealer.
9. Disconnect the compressor hose from the tire valve. Immediately start driving the car at a speed of no more than 80 km/h.
10. After 10 minutes or after driving 5 km, stop and check the air pressure in the tire. If the air pressure in the tire has not decreased, the repair has been done well.
If pressure is lower than labeled, repeat procedure from step 5.
If the tire pressure drops below 130 kPa again, this means that the damage cannot be repaired with a temporary tire repair kit. Contact an authorized Nissan dealer.
