A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will



appear in the dot matrix liquid cryst
al display
01 and
the low tire pressure warning light 02 will illuminate
when one or more tires are low on pressure a nd air



is needed

.

When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS

Add air to the underinflated tire and within a few




seconds, the hazard warning lights will flash.



4.

W
hen the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the hazard



warning lights will stop flashing
.




5
.
Repeat this procedure for any additional underinflated tires
.

After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at s peeds above 16 MPH (25km/h) and the



w
arning 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 certified
LEAF dealer
.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and the



o
utside temperature . Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the\




tire, whic
h 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
.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual .
