ESSE NTIAL I N FOR MATION
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
    A CHECK TIRE PRES warning message will display in the trip computer 1 and 
the low tire pressure warning light 2  will illuminate when one or more tires are low in 
pressure and air is needed.
    •  The 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.
 
     After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds 
above 16 mph (25 km/h). The CHECK TIRE PRES warning 
message and the low tire pressure warning light 
2  
will extinguish.
 
    When the low tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for approximately 1 minute and 
then remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked. It is 
recommended that you visit a Nissan dealer for this service.
 
    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 tempe\
rature of 
the air inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause 
the low tire pressure warning light 
2 to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, 
check 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 
the “Technical and consumer information (section 9)” of 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.

LOOSE FUEL CAP
    A  LOOSE FUEL CAP  warning message  
will appear in the trip computer

click is heard.
 
    The warning message will extinguish when the vehicle detects the fuel-filler cap is 
properly tightened and the reset button
 
2 is pressed for more than 1 second.
 
    If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction Indicator Light  may illuminate.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Pre-driving checks and 
adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.
