ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
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
1 and the low tire
pressure warning light
2 will
illuminate when one or more
tires are low in pressure and
air is needed.
• The tir e pressures should be checked when
the tires are cold. The tires are considered cold af ter 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 tire to the recommended COLD tire pressure.
To use the Easy-Fill Tire Alert system:
1. Move the shif t 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 tir e pressure is reached, the horn will beep once
and the hazard warning flashers will stop.
5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.
Af ter 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
2 will extinguish.
When the lo w tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for approximately 1 minute
and then remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a Nissan dealer for this service.
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
2 to illuminate.
If the warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in your tires.
• Check the tir e pressure (including the spare tire) of ten and always prior
to long distance trips.
