ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WITH EASY-FILL TIRE ALERT

A Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning

message will appear in the vehicle information display 1 and the low tire pressure warning light 2 will illuminate when one or more tires are low in pressure and air is needed.

• The tire pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. The tires are considered cold after the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.

When adding air to an under-inated tire, the TPMS with

Easy-Fill Tire Alert provides visual and audible signals to help you inate the tire to the recommended COLD tire pressure.

To use the Easy-Fill Tire Alert system:

1. Move the shif t lever to the P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.

2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position. Do not start the engine.

3. Add air to the under-inated tire, and within a few seconds, the hazard

warning lights will start ashing.

4. When the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once

and the hazard warning ashers will stop.

5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inated tires.

After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 mph (25

km/h). The Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning message and low tire pressure warning light 2 will extinguish.

When the low tire pressure warning light 2 ashes for approximately 1 minute

and then remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked. It is recommended that you visit a Nissan dealer for this service.

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 ination pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light 2 to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in your tires.

• Check the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always prior to long distance trips.

The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please

refer to the “Technical and consumer information (section 10)” of your Owner’s Manual for the location of the Tire and Loading Information label.

Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional operating and feature information.

For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the “Do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.

please go to www.nissanownersinfo.mobi.
