Nissan Z33-D specification

Avoid sharp turns and abrupt braking while driving.

Periodically check the T-type spare tire inflation pressure, and always keep it at 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 bar).

Do not drive your vehicle at speeds faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h).

Do not use tire chains on a T-type spare tire. Tire chains will not fit properly on the T-type spare tire and may cause damage to the vehicle.

Tire tread of the T-type spare tire will wear at a faster rate than the stan- dard tire. Replace the T-type spare tire as soon as the tread wear indica- tors appear.

Because the T-type spare tire is smaller than the original tire, ground clearance is reduced. To avoid dam- age to the vehicle, do not drive over obstacles. Also, do not drive the ve- hicle through an automatic car wash since it may get caught.

Do not use the T-type spare tire on other vehicles.

Do not use more than one T-type spare tire at the same time.

Do not tow a trailer while the T-type spare tire is installed.
