The Owner’s Manual contains more detailed information to help you better understand the important safety warnings, features, operation and maintenance of your vehicle.

essential information
LOOSE FUEL CAP
A Loose Fuel Cap warning message will display in the vehicle information display 01 when the fuel-filler cap is not tightened correctly.
To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until ratcheting clicks are heard.
The warning message will disappear when the vehicle detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened and the reset button 02 is pressed.
If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction Indicator Light 
may also illuminate.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.
01
02
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will display in the vehicle information display 01 and the TPMS light will illuminate when one or more tires are low on pressure and air is needed.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 MPH (25km/h) and the warning and indicator light will disappear.
When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for 
approximately 1 minute and then remains on, the 01 TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
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 illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in low ambient temperature, check the tire pressure in all four tires.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
