ESSE NTIAL I N FOR MATION
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WITH  
EASY FILL TIRE ALERT (if so equipped)
    A Tire Pressure Low - Add Air (if so equipped) 
warning message will appear in the trip computer 
1 and the low tire pressure warning light 2 
will illuminate when one or more tires are low in 
pressure and air is needed.
 
 
• 
 
T
he tire pressures should be checked when  
the tires are cold. The tires are considered cold 
after the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours 
or more or driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km) at 
moderate speeds.
    After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 
16 mph (25 km/h). T he Tire Pressure Low - Add Air (if so equipped) warning 
message and low tire pressure warning light 
2  will extinguish.
    When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides 
visual and audible signals to help you inflate the tire to the recomme\
nded COLD  
tire pressure.
  To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system (if so equipped):
 
 
1. Move the shift lever to the 
 P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.
 
 
2. Place the ignition switc
 h in the ON position. Do not start the engine.
 
 
3. 
  
Add air to the under-inflated tire, and within a few seconds, the haza\
rd warning 
lights will st
art flashing.
 
 
4. 
  
W
 hen the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the 
hazard warning lights will stop flashing.
 
 
5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.
    When the low tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for approximately 1 minute and 
then remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked. It is 
recommended you visit a Nissan dealer for this service.
    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 tempe\
rature of 
the air inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause 
the low tire pressure warning light 
2 to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, 
check the tire pressure in your tires. 
 
 
• 
 
Chec
k the tire pressures (including the spare tire) often and always prior\
 to long  
distance trips.
    The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to  the “Technical and consumer information (section 9)” of 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 “Starting and driving (section 5)” 
and the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
