TIre PreSSur e M ONITOrIN G SYSTeM (TPMS)
A CHeCK… T Ire… PreS… warning mess age 01 will appear
as scrolling text in the tr
ip computer display 02 and the low tire
pressure warning light
03 will illuminate when one or more tires
are low on pressure and air is needed.
•


The tire pressures should be c
hecked 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 mi (1.6 km) at



moderate speeds.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds
above 1 6 MPH (25 km/h). The CH
eCK TIre Pr
e
S 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


TPM

S is not functioning properly. Have the system
chec

ked 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, chec

k the tire pressure in your tires.
• Check the tire pressures (including the spare tire) often and alway

s prior to long distance trips.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to section 9,
“Tec

hnical 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.
