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 01 and
the low tire pressure warning light 02 will illuminate
when one or more tires are low




on pressure and air is needed.



•





T

he 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 (1.6km) at
moderate speeds.
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS



with Easy Fill T
ire Alert provides visual and audible



signals to help you inflate the tires to the




r
ecommended
cO
LD tire pressure.
To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system:



1.

Move the shift lever to the
P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.



2.

Place the ignition switc
h in the ON position. Do not start the engine.



3.

Add air to the under-inflated tire and within a few seconds, the hazar\
d warning lights will




st
art flashing.



4.

W
hen the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the hazard



warning flashers will stop.



5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 \
M PH (25km/h).

T
he Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning message and low tire pressure warning


light will dis

appear.
When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately 1 minute and then remains



on, the TP
MS 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 temperature o\
f the air inside the




tire, whic
h 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 amb\
ient temperature, c
heck



the tire pressure in your tires.



•
c
heck the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always prior \
to long distance trips.
