jaTPMS indicator light
jbTPMS tyre location indicator
jATyre valve with sensor
The tyre pressure monitoring system monitors the
tyre pressure of the four wheels while the vehicle is
in motion. Following a loss in pressure, the system
will warn the driver using a visual warning. EachTPMS sensor
jA has a registered wheel location
and sends pressure and temperature data via radio
to a receiver inside the vehicle.
Each tyre, including the spare (where fitted), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a differ-
ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre inflation pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tyre inflation pressure for those
tyres.)
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) con-
trols the TPMS indicator light
ja , which will illumi-
nate when one or more tyres are significantly under-
inflated. A warning and tyre location indicator
jb
will also appear in the vehicle information display to
identify the tyre or tyres with low pressure.
If you now press theswitch on the steer-
ing wheel, a further screen is displayed to tell you
the tyre pressure of all four tyres.Accordingly, when the TPMS indicator light illumi-
nates, safely stop the vehicle to check the tyres as
soon as possible and inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life which may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
NOTE
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre main-
tenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to main-
tain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger the illumina-
tion of the TPMS indicator light
ja.
The TPMS indicator light flashes for a short period
and then turns on continuously if the system is not
operating properly. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists (missing or faulty TPMS sensor
or TPMS system malfunction). When the malfunc-
tion warning light is illuminated, the system may not

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
5-4Starting and driving

be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a vari-
ety of reasons including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS indicator light after replacing one
or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tyres and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
•The TPMS does not monitor the tyre pressure of
the spare tyre.
•The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH). Also,
this system may not detect a sudden drop in tyre
pressure (for example a flat tyre while driving).
•The TPMS indicator light may not automatically
turn off when the tyre pressure is adjusted.After
the tyre is inflated to the recommended COLD
tyre pressure, drive the vehicle at speeds above
25 km/h (16 MPH) to activate the TPMS. See
“TPMS sensor ID and position recognition” later
in this section
•Following a change in the outside temperature,
the TPMS indicator light may illuminate even if
the tyre pressure has been adjusted properly.
Adjust the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure again when the tyres are
cold, and reset the TPMS.
For additional information, see “[Check cold tyre]
message” later in this section.
WARNING
•If the TPMS indicator light illuminates while
driving:
– avoid sudden steering manoeuvres
– avoid abrupt braking
– reduce vehicle speed
– pull off the road to a safe location
– stop the vehicle as soon as possible
•Driving with under-inflated tyres may perma-
nently damage the tyres and increase the like-
lihood of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur which may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal injury.
•Check the tyre pressure for all four tyres. Ad-
just the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure shown on the tyre plac-
ard to turn the TPMS indicator light “OFF”. In
case of a flat tyre, replace it with a spare tyre
as soon as possible. (See “Flat tyre” in the
“6. In case of emergency” section for chang-
ing a flat tyre.)
•When a spare tyre is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
TPMS indicator light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. Be sure to follow all instructions for
wheel replacement and mount the TPMS sys-
tem correctly.
•Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by NISSAN could affect the proper opera-
tion of the TPMS.
•The Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tyre Repair
Sealant or equivalent can be used for tempo-
rarily repairing a tyre. Do not inject any other
tyre liquid or aerosol tyre sealant into the
tyres, as this may cause a malfunction of the
tyre pressure sensors.
•NISSAN recommends using only Genuine
NISSAN Emergency Tyre Sealant provided
with your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may
damage the valve stem seal which can cause
the tyre to lose air pressure. Visit a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop as soon as pos-
sible after using tyre repair sealant (for mod-
els equipped with the emergency tyre punc-
ture repair kit).
CAUTION
•The TPMS may not function properly when the
wheels are equipped with tyre chains or the
wheels are buried in snow.
•Do not place metalised film or any metal parts
(antenna, etc.) on the windows. This may
cause poor reception of the signals from the
tyre pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not
function properly.
Starting and driving5-5

Some devices and transmitters may tempo-
rarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS
and cause the TPMS indicator light to illumi-
nate. Some examples are:
– Facilities or electric devices using similar
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.
– If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is
being used in or near the vehicle.
– If a computer (or similar equipment) or a
DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
– If devices which transmit electrical noise
are connected to the vehicle’s 12V power
supply.
•When inflating the tyres and checking the tyre
pressure, never bend the valves.
•Special aluminium valves are fitted to mount
the TPMS sensors on the wheels. The TPMS
sensor is fixed at the wheels by a nut. The nut
needs to be correctly fitted at a torque setting
of 7.5 ± 0.5 N•m. If the TPMS sensor is tight-
ened exceeding the limit, there is a possibility
the sensor grommet will be damaged. If the
sensor is tightened under the limit, there is a
possibility of causing an air leak.
•Use Genuine NISSAN valve caps that comply
with the factory-fitted valve cap specifications.
•Do not use metal valve caps.
•Fit the valve caps properly. Without the valve
caps the valve and tyre pressure monitor sen-
sors could be damaged.
•Do not damage the valves and sensors when
storing the wheels or fitting different tyres.
•Replace the sensor grommet and washer dur-
ing a tyre change. Once they have been re-
moved, the sensor grommet and washer can-
not be reused and must be replaced. The
TPMS sensors can be used again.
•Use caution when using tyre inflation equip-
ment with a rigid air supply tube, as leverage
applied by the long nozzle can damage the
valve stem.

METER INFORMATION ACTIVATION
At ignition ON. Once the vehicle starts moving the
tyre pressure is monitored.
TPMS SENSOR ID AND POSITION
RECOGNITION
It is recommended that a NISSAN dealer performs
the registration of a new TPMS sensor or sensor
location.
It is also possible to register the sensor yourself fol-
lowing the procedure below:
Procedure:
1. Change tyre position or have new TPMS sensor
fitted.
2. Park with Ignition ON or Engine ON for more
than 20 minutes. You must perform this step be-
fore driving.
3. Drive the vehicle for several minutes between 25
km/h (16 MPH) and 100 km/h (64 MPH). The
TPMS sensor ID and position will automatically
be detected.
NOTE
The TPMS might not synchronise if one or more
of the following conditions apply:
•Bad road conditions
•The TPMS unit does not receive correct data
from tyre pressure sensors
•Driving below 25 km/h (16 MPH)

ATyre pressure
jBTyre pressure units
jCFront target pressure
jDRear target pressure
If you are using your vehicle in a heavily laden condi-
tion, the tyre pressures should be inflated to the
‘Laden Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard.
The TPMS system can be adjusted in the vehicle
information display to set the target pressure to the
‘Laden ‘Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard. See
“Settings” in the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-
tion. To adjust the target pressure use the steeringwheel switches to select the [Settings] menu, fol-
lowed by [Tyre Pressures]. Select [Target front] and
[Target rear] and set the desired tyre pressure.
The TPMS target pressures will be displayed in the
centre of the front and rear axle on the TPMS screen
of the vehicle information display.
TYRE PRESSURE UNITS
The units displayed by the TPMS system can be
selected using the vehicle information display. Se-
lect the [Settings] menu, followed by [Tyre Pres-
sures]. Select [Tyre pressure unit] and choose the
unit that you want.
[CHECK COLD TYRE] MESSAGE
If the tyre pressure becomes higher than the target
pressure during a low tyre pressure condition, the
[Check Cold Tyre] message will be displayed in the
vehicle information display (see “Settings” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section).NOTE
Even if the pressure is above the preset target
pressure, the yellow colour in the tyre pressure
warning means that the tyre pressure is actually
too low. Tyre pressure is increasing during driv-
ing. Check the tyre pressure when the tyre is
cold.
TPMS TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
The tyre pressure is affected by the temperature of
the tyre; the tyre temperature increases when the
car is driven. To be able to accurately monitor the
tyre air leakage and to prevent false TPMS warnings
due to reductions in temperature, the TPMS system
uses temperature sensors in the tyres to perform
temperature compensation calculations.
On rare occasions it may be necessary to recalibrate
the TPMS system reference temperature using the
vehicle information display. See “Settings” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section. This opera-
tion should only be performed when the actual tyre
pressure has been adjusted, whilst the current am-
bient temperature is significantly different to the cur-
rent calibration temperature.
To initiate TPMS temperature calibration use the
steering wheel switches to select the [Settings]
menu, followed by [Tyre Pressures]. Select [Cali-
brate] followed by [Start]. While the calibration pro-
cess is active, the message: [Resetting tyre pres-
sure system] will be displayed in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
