tion label. TPMS Sensor ID Matching Process After
Tire Rotation (if so equipped)
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification
code. Any time you rotate your vehicle’s tires or
replace one or more of the TPMS sensors, these
identification codes need to be matched to the
new tire/wheel position to make sure that the low
tire pressure display in the meter is correct. The
identification codes are matched to their posi-
tions using a TPMS diagnostic tool. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.
The low tire pressure warning light remains illu-
minated until the tires are inflated to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure.

orLow tire pressurewarning light (if so
equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the tire
pressure of all tires except the spare.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of low
tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not
functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, this light illuminates for about 1 second
and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
CHECK TIRE PRES (pressure) warning is
also displayed in the odometer.
Type A: When the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates, you should stop and ad-
just the tire pressure of all 4 tires to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver’s door opening. The
low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire pres-
sure is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to
the recommended pressure, the vehicle
must be driven at speeds above 16 mph
(25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off
the low tire pressure warning light. Use a
tire pressure gauge to check the tire pres-
sure.
Type B: When the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates, you should stop and ad-
just the tire pressure of the corresponding
tire that is blinking in trip computer to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver’s door opening. The
low tire pressure warning light does not
automatically turn off when the tire pres-
sure is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to
the recommended pressure, the vehicle
must be driven at speeds above 16 mph
(25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off
the low tire pressure warning light. Use a
tire pressure gauge to check the tire pres-
sure.
The low tire pressure warning light remains illu-
minated until the tires are inflated to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure. The CHECK TIRE
PRES warning message is displayed each time
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position as
long as the low tire pressure warning light re-
mains illuminated.

WARNING
●Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use.
● If the light does not illuminate with the
ignition switch placed in the ON posi-
tion, have the vehicle checked as soon
as possible. It is recommended you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
● If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed,
pull off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possible.
Driving with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires and in-
crease the likelihood of tire failure. Se-
rious vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to an accident and could result
in serious personal injury or death.
Check the tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure show on
the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver’s door opening to turn the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pressure,
a tire may be flat or the TPMS may be
malfunctioning. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with a spare tire as soon as
possible. If no tire is flat and all tires are
properly inflated, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
● Since the spare tire is not equipped with
TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel is replaced the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately
1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. Have your tires replaced
and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for these services.
● Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by NISSAN could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
● The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
● If the vehicle is being driven at speeds
of less than 16 mph 25 (km/h) , the
TPMS may not operate correctly.
● Be sure to install the specified size of
tires to the four wheels correctly.
