essential information

LOOSE FUEL CAP

A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear in the odometer

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

If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction Indicator Light

is pressed for more than 1 second.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

A CHECK TIRE PRES warning message will display in the odometer warning light

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 mile (1.6km) at moderate speeds.

After tire pressures are adjusted, press the reset

button

for more than 1 second. Drive the vehicle

at speeds above 16 MPH (25km/h). The CHECK

TIRE PRES 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.

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

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.
