ESSENTIAL IN FORMATION

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

A CHECK TIRE PRES warning message will

display in the trip computer low tire pressure warning light illuminate when 1 or more tires are low in pressure and air is needed.

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.

After the tire pressures are adjusted, press the reset button

for more than

1 second. Drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). The CHECK TIRE PRES warning message and low tire pressure warning light will extinguish.

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, 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 “Technical and consumer information (section 9)” 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.
