essential information

LOOSE FUEL CAP

A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear

in the vehicle information display 01 when the

fuel-ﬁller cap is not tightened correctly.

To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click

is heard.

The warning message will disappear when the vehicle

detects the fuel-ﬁller cap is properly tightened and the

reset button 02 is pressed for about 1 second.

If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction

Indicator Light may 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.

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 01 and

the low tire pressure warning light 02 will illuminate

when one or more tires are low on 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-inﬂated tire, the

TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides visual and

audible signals to help you inﬂate the tires to the

recommended COLD tire pressure.

To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert:

1. Move the shift 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-inﬂated tire and within a few seconds, the hazard warning lights will

start ﬂashing.

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

warning ﬂashers will stop ﬂashing.

5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inﬂated tires.

To view detailed instructional videos regarding these and other features,

please go to www.nissanownersinfo.mobi.

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

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.

The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to section

9, “Technical and consumer information” in your Owner’s Manual for the location of the Tire

and Loading Information label.

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