ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WITH
EASY-FILL TIRE ALERT (if so equipped)
A CHECK TIRE PRES (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.
• The tire pressures should be checked when
the tires are cold. The tires are considered
cold af ter the vehicle has been parked for 3
hours or more or driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km)
at moderate speeds.

Af ter tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle
at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h). The CHECK
TIRE PRES (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
recommended COLD tire pressure.

To use the Easy-Fill Tire Alert system (if so equipped):
1. Move the shif t lever to the P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position. Do not start the engine.
3. Add air to the under-inflated tire, and within a few seconds, the hazard warning
lights will start flashing.
4. When 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 temperature 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.
• Check the tire pressures (including the spare tire) of ten 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 10)” of your Owner’s Manual
for the location of the Tire and Loading Information label.
Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional
operating and feature information.
