and automatically alerts you to severe weather 
conditions around your current vehicle location. 
*These features, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, NavTraffic and NavWeather,

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
    A TIRE LOW PRESSURE VISIT DEALER   
warning message will  appear in the vehicle 
 
information display 
1  and the low tire pressure 
warning light 2  will illuminate when one or more 
tires are low in 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.
    After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle   
at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h). The TIRE 
LOW PRESSURE VISIT DEALER warning 
message and low tire pressure warning light will extinguish.
    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 warn\
ing light illuminates, 
check the tire pressure in your tires.
 
 
• 
  
Chec
 k the tire pressure often and always prior to long distance trips.
    NISSAN recommends refilling with nitrogen for maximum tire performance. I\
f nitrogen is not available, compressed air may be safely used under normal driving conditions.
    The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to the  “Technical and consumer information (section 9)” 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.
