Additional information:

● The TPMS does not monitor the tire

pressure of the spare tire.

● The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle

is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25

km/h). Also, this system may not detect a

sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a

flat tire while driving).

● The low tire pressure warning light does not

automatically turn off when the tire pressure

is adjusted. After all 4 tires are inflated to the

recommended pressure, the vehicle must be

driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h)

to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire

pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure

gauge to check the tire pressure.

● The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning ap-

pears in the vehicle information display when

the low tire pressure warning light is illumi-

nated and low tire pressure is detected. The

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning turns off

when the low tire pressure warning light

turns off.

● The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning

does not appear if the low tire pressure

warning light illuminates to indicate a TPMS

malfunction.

● Tire pressure rises and falls depending on

the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation

and the outside temperature. Low outside

temperature can lower the temperature of

the air inside the tire which can cause a

lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause

the low tire pressure warning light to illumi-

nate. If the warning light illuminates in low

ambient temperature, check the tire pres-

sure for all four tires.

● The Tire and Loading Information label (also

referred to as the vehicle placard or tire

inflation pressure label) is located in the

driver’s door opening.

For additional information, see “Low tire pressure

warning light” in the “Instruments and controls”

section and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS)” in the “In case of emergency” section.

WARNING

● If the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates while driving, avoid sudden

steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,

reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road

to a safe location and stop the vehicle

as soon as possible. Driving with under-

inflated tires may permanently damage

the tires and increase the likelihood of

tire failure. Serious vehicle damage

could occur and may lead to an acci-

dent and could result in serious per-

sonal injury. Check the tire pressure for

all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to

the recommended COLD tire pressure

shown on the Tire and Loading Informa-

tion label to turn the low tire pressure

warning light OFF. If you have a flat tire,

replace it with a spare tire as soon as

possible. (See “Flat tire” in the “In case

of emergency” section for changing a

flat tire.)

● When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel

is replaced, tire pressure will not be

indicated, the TPMS will not function

and the low tire pressure warning light

will flash for approximately 1 minute.

The light will remain on after 1 minute.

Contact your NISSAN dealer as soon as

possible for tire replacement and/or

system resetting.

● Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by NISSAN could affect the

proper operation of the TPMS.

● Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol

tire sealant into the tires, as this may

cause a malfunction of the tire pressure

sensors.
