TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

A CHECK TIRE PRES warning message will display in the odometer light on pressure and air is needed.

After tire pressures are adjusted, press the reset button at speeds above 16MPH (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 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 your tires.

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