essential information
TiRE PRESSURE Mo Ni To RiN G SYSTEM (TPMS)
A CHECK T iR E PRES warning message will display
in the trip computer
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. T
he 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.
After tire pressures are adjusted, d rive the vehicle
at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). The CHECK



Ti
RE PRES warning message and the 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 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, 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, c

heck the tire pressure in your tires.
•


Check the tire pressures (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,



“T
echnical 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
