on pressure and air is needed.
After tire pressures are adjusted, press the reset button
speeds above 16 MPH (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.

Owner’s Manual.
