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
wheel isreplaced, theTPMS willnot
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.

. 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

displayed eachtimetheignition switchis
placed inthe ON position aslong asthe low

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.

sure warning lightº(P.2-15) andªTire Pressure

. Always usetires ofthe same type,
size, brand, construction (bias,bias-
belted orradial) ,and tread pattern
on allfour wheels. Installtraction
devices onthe front wheels when
driving onslippery roadsanddrive
carefully.
. Besure tocheck thebrakes imme-

. Avoid parking yourvehicle onsteep
hills. Ifyou getout ofthe vehicle
and itrolls forward, backward or
sideways, youcould beinjured.
. Whenever youdrive off-road
through sand,mudorwater asdeep
as the wheel hub,more frequent
maintenance mayberequired. See

WARNING
. The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)
is asophisticated device,butit
cannot prevent accidents resulting
from careless ordangerous driving
techniques. Itcan help maintain
vehicle control duringbraking on
slippery surfaces. Remember that
stopping distances onslippery sur-
faces willbelonger thanonnormal surfaces
evenwithABS. Stopping
distances mayalso belonger on
rough, gravelorsnow covered
roads, orifyou areusing tirechains.
Always maintain asafe distance
from thevehicle infront ofyou.
Ultimately, thedriver isresponsible
for safety.
. Tire type andcondition mayalso
affect braking effectiveness.
Ð When replacing tires,install the
specified sizeoftires onallfour
wheels.
Ð When installing aspare tire,
make surethatitis the proper
size andtype asspecified onthe
Tire andLoading Information
label. SeeªTire andLoading
Information labelº(P.9-12) of
this manual.

ª Wheels andtiresº (P.8-31) of
this manual.
The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)controls
the brakes sothe wheels donot lock during hard
braking orwhen braking onslippery surfaces.
The system detects therotation speedateach wheel
andvaries thebrake fluidpressure to
prevent eachwheel fromlocking andsliding. By
preventing eachwheel fromlocking, thesystem
helps thedriver maintain steeringcontroland

adversely affectthesafety andhandling ofyour
vehicle.
Generally ,snow tireswillhave lower speed
ratings thanfactory equipped tiresandmay not match
thepotential maximum vehiclespeed.
Never exceed themaximum speedratingofthe

If you install snowtires,theymust bethe same
size, brand, construction andtread pattern onall

For additional tractiononicy roads, studded
tires maybeused. However, someU.S.states
