WARNING
. Ifthe light does notilluminate with
the ignition switchplaced inthe ON
position, havethevehicle checked
by aNISSAN dealerassoon as
possible.
. Ifthe light illuminates whiledriving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reducevehicle
speed, pulloffthe road toasafe
location andstop thevehicle as
soon aspossible. Drivingwithun-
der-inflated tiresmaypermanently
damage thetires andincrease the
likelihood oftire failure. Serious
vehicle damage couldoccurand
may lead toan accident andcould
result inserious personal injury.
Check thetire pressure forallfour
tires. Adjust thetire pressure tothe
recommended COLDtirepressure
shown onthe Tire andLoading
Information labeltoturn thelow
tire pressure warninglightOFF.If
the light stillilluminates whiledriv-
ing after adjusting thetire pressure,
a tire may beflat. Ifyou have aflat
tire, replace itwith aspare tireas soon
aspossible.
. When aspare tireismounted ora

function andthelow tirepressure
warning lightwillflash forapproxi-
mately 1minute. Thelight will
remain onafter 1minute. Contact
your NISSAN dealerassoon as
possible fortire replacement and/
or system resetting.
. Replacing tireswiththose notori-
ginally specified byNISSAN could
affect theproper operation ofthe
TPMS.
CAUTION
. The TPMS isnot asubstitute forthe
regular tirepressure check.Besure
to check thetire pressure regularly.
. Ifthe vehicle isbeing driven at
speeds ofless than 16MPH (25
km/h) ,the TPMS maynotoperate
correctly.
. Besure toinstall thespecified size
of tires tothe four wheels correctly.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
GUID-70D EE521-236F-4 87A-BFBD-1A02741B 58A6
Each tire,including thespare (ifprovided) ,
should bechecked monthlywhencoldand
inflated tothe inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer onthe vehicle
placard ortire inflation pressure label.(Ifyour vehicle
hastires ofadifferent sizethan thesize
indicated onthe vehicle placard ortire inflation
pressure label,youshould determine theproper
tire inflation pressure forthose tires.)
As anadded safetyfeature, yourvehicle has
been equipped withaTire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) thatilluminates alow tire
pressure telltalewhenoneormore ofyour tires
is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,when
the low tirepressure telltaleilluminates, you
should stopandcheck yourtiresassoon as
possible, andinflate themtothe proper pres-
sure. Driving onasignificantly under-inflated tire
causes thetiretooverheat andcanlead totire
failure. Under-inflation alsoreduces fueleffi-
ciency andtiretread life,and may affect the
vehicle's handlingandstopping ability.
Please notethattheTPMS isnot asubstitute for
proper tiremaintenance, anditis the driver's
responsibility tomaintain correcttirepressure,
even ifunder-inflation hasnotreached thelevel
to trigger illumination ofthe TPMS lowtire
pressure telltale.
Y our vehicle hasalso been equipped witha
TPMS malfunction indicatortoindicate whenthe
system isnot operating properly.The TPMS
malfunction indicatoriscombined withthelow

TPMS malfunctions mayoccur foravariety of
reasons, including theinstallation ofreplace-
ment oralternate tiresorwheels onthe vehicle
that prevent theTPMS fromfunctioning properly.
Always checktheTPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing oneormore tiresorwheels on
your vehicle toensure thatthereplacement or
alternate tiresandwheels allowtheTPMS to
continue tofunction properly.

. The TPMS doesnotmonitor thetire
pressure ofthe spare tire.
. The TPMS willactivate onlywhen the
vehicle isdriven atspeeds above16MPH
(25 km/h) .Also, thissystem maynotdetect
a sudden dropintire pressure (forexample a
flat tire while driving) .
. The lowtirepressure warninglightdoes not
automatically turnoffwhen thetirepressure

driven atspeeds above16MPH (25km/h)
to activate theTPMS andturn offthe low tire pressure

. The CHECK TIREPRES (pressure) warning
message isdisplayed inthe vehicle informa-
tion display whenthelow tirepressure

nated. ªCheck tirepressure warningmes-
sageº (P.2-7) .
. The CHECK TIREPRES warning message
is not displayed ifthe low tirepressure
warning lightilluminates toindicate aTPMS
malfunction.
. Tire pressure risesandfalls depending on
the heat caused bythe vehicle's operation
and theoutside temperature. Lowoutside
temperature canlower thetemperature of
the airinside thetire which cancause a
lower tireinflation pressure. Thismaycause
the low tirepressure warninglightto
illuminate. Ifthe warning lightilluminates inlow
ambient temperature, checkthetire
pressure forallfour tires.
For additional information, seeªLow tirepres-
sure warning lightº(P.2-15) andªTire Pressure
Monitoring System(TPMS)º (P.6-3) .
WARNING
. Ifthe low tirepressure warninglight
illuminates whiledriving, avoidsud-
den steering maneuvers orabrupt
braking, reducevehicle speed,pull
off the road toasafe location and
stop thevehicle assoon aspossi-
ble. Driving withunder-inflated tires
may permanently damagethetires
and increase thelikelihood oftire
failure. Serious vehicledamage
could occurandmay lead toan
accident andcould result inserious
personal injury.Check thetire pres-
sure forallfour tires. Adjust thetire
pressure tothe recommended COLD
tire pressure shownonthe Tire and

with aspare tireassoon aspossi-
ble. (See ªFlat tireº(P.6-3) forchan-

. When aspare tireismounted ora

function andthelow tirepressure
warning lightwillflash forapproxi-
mately 1minute. Thelight will
remain onafter 1minute. Contact
your NISSAN dealerassoon as
possible fortire replacement and/
or system resetting.
. Replacing tireswiththose notori-
ginally specified byNISSAN could
affect theproper operation ofthe
TPMS.
. Do not inject anytireliquid or
aerosol tiresealant intothetires,
as this may cause amalfunction of
the tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION
. The TPMS maynotfunction properly
when thewheels areequipped with
tire chains orthe wheels areburied
in snow.
. Do not place metalized filmorany
metal parts(antenna, etc.)on the windows.
Thismay cause poorre-
ception ofthe signals fromthetire
pressure sensors,andtheTPMS will
not function properly.
Some devices andtransmitters maytemporarily
interfere withtheoperation ofthe TPMS and
cause thelow tirepressure warninglightto

GUID-409 A6DD3-8FFE- 4994-921D-808EB7F00 842
WARNING
Never driveunder theinfluence of
alcohol ordrugs. Alcohol inthe blood-
stream reduces coordination, delays
reaction timeandimpairs judgement.
Driving afterdrinking alcoholincreases
the likelihood ofbeing involved inan
accident injuringyourself andothers.
Additionally, ifyou areinjured inan
accident, alcoholcanincrease these-
verity ofthe injury.
NISSAN iscommitted tosafe driving. However,
you must choose nottodrive under theinfluence of
alcohol. Everyyearthousands ofpeople are
injured orkilled inalcohol-related accidents.
Although thelocal lawsvaryonwhat is
considered tobe legally intoxicated, thefact is
that alcohol affectsallpeople differently and
most people underestimate theeffects of
alcohol.
Remember, drinkinganddriving don'tmix!And
that istrue fordrugs, too(over-the-counter,

Please observe thefollowing precautions:
WARNING
. Drive carefully whenoffthe road
and avoid dangerous areas.Every
person whodrives orrides inthis

. Many hillsaretoo steep forany
vehicle. Ifyou drive upthem, you
may stall. Ifyou drive down them,
you may notbeable tocontrol your
speed. Ifyou drive across them,you
may rollover.
. Donot shift ranges whiledriving on
