Depending onachange inthe outside temperature,
the low tirepressure warninglightmayilluminate even
if the tirepressure hasbeen adjusted properly.Adjust
the tire pressure tothe recommended COLDtire

TPMS.
If the low tirepressure warninglightstillcontinues to

If the TPMS isnot functioning properly,the low tire
pressure warninglightwillflash forapproximately 1
minute whentheignition switchisplaced inthe ªONº
position. Thelight willremain onafter the1minute.
Have thesystem checked byaNISSAN dealer.
For additional information, seeªTire Pressure Monitor-

WARNING:
. Ifthe light does notilluminate withthe
ignition switchplaced inthe ªONº position,
have thevehicle checked byaNISSAN
dealer assoon aspossible.
. Ifthe light illuminates whiledriving, avoid
sudden steering maneuvers orabrupt brak-
ing, reduce vehicle speed,pulloffthe road to
a safe location andstop thevehicle assoon as
possible. Drivingwithunder-inflated tires
may permanently damagethetires and
increase thelikelihood oftire failure. Ser-
ious vehicle damage couldoccurandmay
lead toan accident andcould result in
serious personal injury.Check thetire pres-
sure forallfour tires. Adjust thetire pressure
to the recommended COLDtirepressure
shown onthe tire placard toturn thelow tire
pressure warninglightoff.Ifyou have aflat
tire, replace itwith aspare tireassoon as
possible.
. After adjusting thetire pressure, besure to
reset theTPMS. Otherwise, theTPMS will
not warn oflow tirepressure.
. When aspare tireismounted orawheel is
replaced, theTPMS willnotfunction andthe
low tirepressure warninglightwillflash for
approximately 1minute. Thelight willre-
main onafter the1minute. Contact your
NISSAN dealerassoon aspossible fortire
replacement and/orsystem resetting.
. Replacing tireswiththose notoriginally
specified byNISSAN couldaffect theproper
operation ofthe TPMS.
CAUTION:
. The TPMS isnot asubstitute forthe regular
tire pressure check.Besure tocheck thetire
pressure regularly.
. Ifthe vehicle isbeing driven atspeeds of
less than 25km/h (16MPH) ,the TPMS may
not operate correctly.
. Besure toinstall thespecified sizeoftires
to all four wheels correctly.

When theignition switchisplaced inthe ªONº
position, themalfunction warninglightilluminates in
red. This means thatthesystem isoperational. After
starting theengine, thewarning lightturns off.
For theorange Malfunction IndicatorLight(MIL),see
ªMalfunction IndicatorLight(MIL)º (P.2-18) fordetails.
If the malfunction warninglight(red) illuminates
continuously whiletheengine isrunning, itmay
indicate anengine control system malfunction. Have
your vehicle inspected byaNISSAN dealer.You do not
need tohave yourvehicle towedtothe dealer.
CAUTION:
Continuing vehicleoperation withoutproper
servicing ofthe engine control system could
lead topoor driveability, reducedfueleconomy,
and damage tothe engine control system, which
may affect thevehicle's warranty coverage.

Calibrate:
GUID-2201 8305-9BAB- 4201-B6FC-C08EB94AEAE0
The tyrepressure isaffected bythe temperature ofthe
tyre; thetyre temperature increaseswhenthecaris
driven. To be able toaccurately monitorthetyre air
leakage andtoprevent falseTPMS warnings dueto
changes intemperature, theTPMS system uses
temperature sensorsinthe tyres toperform tempera-
ture compensation calculations.
On rare occasions itmay benecessary torecalibrate
the TPMS system reference temperature. Thisopera-
tion should onlybeperformed whentheactual tyre
pressure hasbeen adjusted, whilstthecurrent ambient
temperature issignificantly differenttothe current
calibration temperature. (SeeªTirePressure Monitor-
