soon aspossible, andinflate themtothe proper
pressure. Drivingonasignificantly under-inflated tire
causes thetiretooverheat andcanlead totire failure.
Under-inflation alsoreduces fuelefficiency andtire
tread life,and may affect thevehicle's handlingand
stopping ability.
Please notethattheTPMS isnot asubstitute for
proper tiremaintenance, anditis the driver's respon-
sibility tomaintain correcttirepressure, evenifunder-
inflation hasnotreached thelevel totrigger illumination
of the TPMS lowtirepressure telltale.
Y our vehicle hasalso been equipped withaTPMS
malfunction indicatortoindicate whenthesystem is
not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor iscombined withthelow tirepressure telltale.
When thesystem detects amalfunction, thetelltale will
flash forapproximately oneminute andthen remain
continuously illuminated.Thissequence willcontinue
upon subsequent vehiclestart-ups aslong asthe
malfunction exists.Whenthemalfunction indicatoris
illuminated, thesystem maynotbeable todetect or
signal lowtirepressure asintended. TPMSmalfunc-
tions mayoccur foravariety ofreasons, including the
installation ofreplacement oralternate tiresorwheels
on the vehicle thatprevent theTPMS fromfunctioning
properly .Always checktheTPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing oneormore tiresorwheels onyour
vehicle toensure thatthereplacement oralternate tires
and wheels allowtheTPMS tocontinue tofunction
properly .

. The TPMS doesnotmonitor thetirepressure of
the spare tire.
. The TPMS willactivate onlywhen thevehicle is
driven atspeeds above25km/h (16MPH) .Also,
this system maynotdetect asudden dropintire
pressure (forexample aflat tire while driving) .
. The lowtirepressure warninglightmaynot
automatically turnoffwhen thetirepressure is
adjusted. Afterthetireisinflated tothe recom-
mended pressure, resetthetire pressures regis-
tered inyour vehicle andthen drive thevehicle at
speeds above25km/h (16MPH) toactivate the
TPMS andturn offthe low tirepressure warning
light.
. Depending onachange inthe outside tempera-
ture, thelow tirepressure warninglightmay
illuminate evenifthe tire pressure hasbeen
adjusted properly.Adjust thetirepressure tothe
recommended COLDtirepressure againwhen
the tires arecold, andreset theTPMS.
. You can check thepressure ofall tires inthe
vehicle information display.(See ªTrip computerº
(P .2-34) .)
For additional information, seeªLow tirepressure
warning lightº(P.2-14) .
WARNING:
. Ifthe low tirepressure warninglightillumi-
nates whiledriving, avoidsudden steering
maneuvers orabrupt braking, reducevehicle
speed, pulloffthe road toasafe location
and stop thevehicle assoon aspossible.
Driving withunder-inflated tiresmayperma-
nently damage thetires andincrease the
likelihood oftire failure. Serious vehicle damage
couldoccurandmay lead toan
accident andcould result inserious personal
injury. Check thetire pressure forallfour
tires. Adjust thetire pressure tothe recom-
mended COLDtirepressure shownonthe
tire placard toturn thelow tirepressure
warning lightoff.Ifthe light stillilluminates
while driving afteradjusting thetire pres-
sure, atire may beflat. Ifyou have aflat tire,
replace itwith aspare tireassoon as
possible. (SeeªFlat tireº(P.6-2) forchanging
a flat tire.)
. 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 a
NISSAN dealerassoon aspossible fortire
replacement and/orsystem resetting.
. Replacing tireswiththose notoriginally
specified byNISSAN couldaffect theproper
operation ofthe TPMS.
. Donot inject anytireliquid oraerosol tire
sealant intothetires, asthis may cause a
malfunction ofthe tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION:
. The TPMS maynotfunction properly when
the wheels areequipped withtirechains or
the wheels areburied insnow.
. Do not place metalized filmorany metal
parts (antenna, etc.)on the windows. This
may cause poorreception ofthe signals

. Drive carefully whenoffthe road andavoid
dangerous areas.Always wearyourseatbelts to
help keep youand your passengers inposition
when driving overrough terrain.
. Before drivingupordown grades, checktheroad
surface forbumps orpotholes. Besure toclimb a
gentle slopeanddescend agentle slope.
. Donot drive across steepslopes. Instead drive
either straight uporstraight downtheslopes. Off-
road vehicles cantipover sideways muchmore
easily thantheycanforward orbackward.
. To prevent damage tothe vehicle, donot drive on
dry and hard surface roadsinthe LOCK mode.
. Many hillsaretoo steep forany vehicle. Ifyou drive
up them, youmay stall. Ifyou drive down them,you
may notbeable tocontrol yourspeed. Ifyou drive
across them,youmay rollover.
. Donot shift gears whiledriving ondownhill grades
as this could cause lossofcontrol ofthe vehicle.
. Besure touse theengine brake.Thefoot brake
performance maybereduced, resultingina
possible accident.
. Stay alertwhen driving tothe top ofahill. Atthe
top there could beadrop-off orother hazard that
could cause anaccident.
. Ifyour engine stallsoryou cannot makeitto the
top ofasteep hill,never attempt toturn around.
Y our vehicle couldtiporroll over. Always back straight
downinreverse gear.Never backdown in
the ªNº (Neutral) positionusingonlythebrake, as
this could cause lossofcontrol.
. Heavy braking goingdownahill could cause the
brakes tooverheat andfade, resulting inloss of
control andanaccident. Applybrakes lightlyand
use alow gear tocontrol yourspeed.
. Unsecured luggagecanbethrown around when
driving overrough terrain. Properly secureitso
that itwill notbethrown forward andcause injury
to you oryour passengers.
. To avoid raising thecenter ofgravity excessively ,
do not exceed therated capacity ofthe roof rack/
gear bin(ifequipped) andevenly distribute the
load. Secure heavyloadsinthe luggage areaas
far forward andaslow aspossible. Donot equip
the vehicle withtires larger thanspecified. This
could cause yourvehicle torollover.
. Donot grip theinside orspokes ofthe steering
wheel whendriving off-road. Thesteering wheel
could jerkand injure yourhands. Instead drivewith
your fingers andthumbs onthe outside ofthe rim.
. Before operating vehicle,ensurethatthedriver
and allpassengers havetheirseatbelts fastened.
. Always drivewiththefloor mats inplace asthe
floor maybecome veryhot.Particular careshould
be taken ifyou arebarefoot.
. Lower yourspeed whenencountering strong
crosswinds. Withitshigher center ofgravity ,your
vehicle ismore affected bygusty sidewinds.
Slower speeds ensurebettervehicle control.
. Donot drive beyond theperformance ofthe
tires even with4WD.
Sudden acceleration, sharpsteering maneu-
vers orsudden braking maycause lossof
control.
