A Ch ECk tir E Pr E ssur E warning mess age will



appear in the vehicle information display 01 and the
low tire pressure warning light 02 will

illuminate when one or more tires are



low on pressure and air is needed.



•


T

he tire pressures should be checked when the



tires are cold. T

he tires are considered cold after



the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or




driven less than 1 mile (1.6km) at moderate speeds.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle



at speeds above 16 M
PH (25km/h). The C h
E
C k



tir E P
r
E ssur E warning message and low tire



pressure warning light will dis
appear.
When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for 1 minute and then \
remains on, the TPMS



is not functioning properly
. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
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 o\
f 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, c
heck the tire pressure in your tires.



•

Chec
k the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always prior to long distance trips.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to section 9,



“T
echnical and consumer information”, 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 “ s tarting and driving (section 5)” and the
“ m aintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
loosE fuEl Ca P
A loosE f uEl Ca P warning mess age will appear



in the vehicle information display 01 when the fuel-
filler cap is not tightened correctly
.
To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click



is heard.
The warning message will disappear when the vehicle



detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened and the




reset button 02 is pressed for about 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)”
