Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
9.4.2.4. Repairing tyre
Observe the following precautions when using the emergency tyre puncture repair kit.
Swallowing the compound is dangerous. Immediately drink as much water as possible and seek prompt medical assistance.
Rinse well with lots of water if the compound comes into contact with skin or eyes. If irritation persists, seek prompt medical attention.
Keep the repair compound out of the reach of children.
Take out the speed restriction sticker from the air compressor*, then put it in a location where the driver can see it while driving.
*: The compressor shape may differ depending on the models.
Do not put the speed restriction label on the steering wheel pad, the speedometer or the warning light locations.
Take the hose (1) and the power plug (2) out of the air compressor. Remove the cap of the bottle holder from the air compressor.
Remove the cap of the tyre sealant bottle, and screw the bottle clockwise onto the bottle holder. (Leave the bottle seal intact. Screwing the bottle onto the bottle holder will pierce the seal of the bottle.)
Remove the cap of the tyre valve on the flat tyre.
Remove the protective cap (A) of the hose and screw the hose securely onto the tyre valve. Make sure that the pressure release valve (B) is securely tightened. Make sure that the air compressor switch is in the OFF (○) position, and then insert its power plug into the power outlet in the vehicle.
Place the power switch in the ON position. Then turn the compressor switch to the ON (−) position and inflate the tyre up to the pressure that is specified on the tyre placard affixed to the driver’s side centre pillar if possible, or to the minimum of 180 kPa (26 psi). Turn the air compressor off briefly in order to check the tyre pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tyre is inflated to higher than the specified pressure, adjust the tyre pressure by releasing air with the pressure release valve. The cold tyre pressures are shown on the tyre placard affixed to the driver’s side centre pillar.
An incomplete connection between the hose and tyre valve causes air leakage or sealant scatter.
Do not stand directly beside the damaged tyre while it is being inflated because of the risk of the rupture. If there are any cracks or bumps, turn the compressor off immediately.
There is a possibility that the pressure reaches 600 kPa (87 psi) while the tyre is being inflated, but it is normal condition. Usually the pressure will drop in about 30 seconds.
Do not operate the compressor for more than 10 minutes.
If the tyre pressure does not increase to 180 kPa (26 psi) within 10 minutes, the tyre may be seriously damaged and the tyre cannot be repaired with this tyre puncture repair kit. Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
When the tyre pressure is reaching the specified pressure or is at the minimum of 180 kPa (26 psi), turn the air compressor off. Remove the power plug from the power outlet and quickly remove the hose from the tyre valve. Attach the protective cap and valve cap.
Leave the tyre sealant bottle on the bottle holder in order to prevent sealant from spilling out.
Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or 3 km (2 miles) at a speed of 80 km/h (50 MPH) or less.
After driving, make sure that the air compressor switch is in the OFF (○) position, then screw the hose securely onto the tyre valve. Check the tyre pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tyre pressure drops under 130 kPa (19 psi)
The tyre cannot be repaired with this tyre puncture repair kit. Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
If the tyre pressure is 130 kPa (19 psi) or more but less than the specified pressure
Turn the compressor switch to the ON ( — ) position and inflate the tyre up to the specified pressure. Then repeat the steps from 8.
If the pressure drops again, the tyre cannot be repaired with this tyre puncture repair kit. Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
When the tyre pressure is the specified pressure
The temporary repair is completed.
See a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for tyre repair/replacement as soon as possible.
Do not reuse the tyre sealant bottle or the hose.
For a new tyre sealant bottle and hose, see a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
