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 mi (1.6 km) at
moderate speeds.
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides visual and
audible signals to help you inflate the tires to the
recommended COLD 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

start 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 (25 km/h).
The Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning message and low tire pressure warning
light will extinguish.
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 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, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in your tires.



•

Chec
k the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always prior to long
distance trips.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to section 9, “Technical and consumer information” in your Owner’s Manual for the location of the Tire and
Loading Information label.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
