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 certified
LEAF dealer
.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and the



o
utside temperature . Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of 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, check the tire pressure in your tires
.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual .
