essential information
0201
tir E Pr Essur E monitorin G systEm (tPms)
A c Heck Ti Re PR eS warning message will display
in the odometer
01 and the TPMS light will illuminate
when one or more tires are low on pressure and air
is needed.

After tire pressures are adjusted, press the reset
button

02 .
d rive the vehicle at speeds above
16MPH (25km/h) and the warning 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 ni SSAn 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
temperature 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 in low ambient temperature, check
the tire pressure in all four tires.
