tirE Pr ESSurE monitorin G SyStE m (tPm S)
The TPMS monitors tire pressure. If the TPMS is not
functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light

01 will flash for approximately 1 minute and remain

on. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates but
does not flash, check the tire pressure in your tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information
label.
• The 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, the vehicle will need to be driven at speeds above 16MPH
(25km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning light.

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 to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in low ambient temperature, check
the tire pressure in your tires.
• Check 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,
“Technical 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 “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the
“maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
