TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will appear in the odometer warning light 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, drive the vehicle at

speeds above 16 MPH (25km/h). The CHECK TIR E PRESSURE 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.
