LOOSE FUEL CAP
A LOOSe fue L cAP warning message will display in
the vehicle information display

01 when the fuel-filler
cap is not tightened correctly.

The warning message will disappear when the vehicle
detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened and the
reset button

02 is pressed.

indicator Light
may illuminate.
f
or more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”
and the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your
Owner’s Manual.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
A c Heck Ti Re PR eSS uRe warning message will
display in the vehicle information display

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, drive the vehicle at
speeds above 16 MPH (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.
for more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual.
