TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
This system monitors tire pressure. Please remember,
this system does not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example, a blowout while driving). It also
does not monitor the air pressure in the spare tire.
Tire pressure is affected by temperature. Low outside temperature causes lower tire
pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate.
If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in all four
tires. Adjust the low tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on
the Tire and Loading Information label to turn the low tire pressure warning light off.
If TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 60 seconds when the key is turned on. After 60 seconds, the light will
remain on. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
