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 tire pressures should be checked 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 mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
After 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.
In addition to the Tire Pressure Low Add Air warning message, you can view the
individual tire’s pressure in the vehicle information display as well as the recommended\

pressure, denoted by blue lettering, for each tire.
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 th\
e recommended
COLD tire pressure.
To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert:
1. Move the shift 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 haza\
rd warning
lights will start flashing.
4. When the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the
hazard warning flashers will stop flashing.
5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.
When the low tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for 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 tempe\
rature 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 pressure (including the spare tire) often and always prior \
to long
distance trips.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Refer to the
“Technical and consumer information (section 9)” of 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.

FIRST DRIVE FEATURES
NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY® SYSTE M

liftgate and start the engine. It is important to make sure the Intelligent Key (I-Key) is with
you (that is, in your pocket or purse).
KEY-LINKED SYSTEM (if so equipped)
The vehicle information display has added
features, allowing the Key-Linked System to
remember some of the vehicle information
display settings.
The Key-Linked System states which I-Key is

You can set a maximum of two I-Keys to the
Key-Linked System.
When the system is enabled, the recognized I-Key is displayed at engine start-up
(Engine ON) as well as within the Key-Linked Settings screen 2.
When the system is active, the vehicle information display setting items \
are memorized
for each key that has been enabled in the Key-Linked System.
If two keys are in the vehicle, the Key-Linked System will recognize the key that
was used most recently; this usually means the last key to unlock/lock the door from
the I-Key.
If there is a desire to change to another key that is in the vehicle, turn OFF the engine
and initiate communication from the desired key.
1. Turn the engine to OFF.
2. Press the button from the desired I-Key.
3. Start the engine.
4. The desired Key Number recognized should appear on the vehicle
information display.
The vehicle information display displays a pop-up notification at Engin\
e ON for the
recognition of the system with a shortcut function to the setup menu.
From the shortcut setup menu, you can select to enable or disable the Key-Linked
System or select Later to keep the factory state.
When enabled, the Key-Linked System will remember the state of the items
memorized automatically from the last ignition cycle.
