pressure, resetthetire pressures registered inyour
vehicle andthen drive thevehicle atspeeds above25
km/h (16MPH) .These operations arerequired to
activate theTPMS andturn offthe low tirepressure
warning light.
Depending onachange inthe outside temperature,
the low tirepressure warninglightmayilluminate even
if the tirepressure hasbeen adjusted properly.Adjust
the tire pressure tothe recommended COLDtire
pressure againwhenthetires arecold, andreset the
TPMS.
If the low tirepressure warninglightstillcontinues to
illuminate aftertheresetting operation, itmay indicate
that theTPMS isnot functioning properly.Have the
system checked byaNISSAN dealer.
For additional information, seeªTire Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS)º (P.5-4) .
TPMS malfunction:
GUID-2201 8305-9BAB- 4201-B6FC-C08EB94AEAE0
If the TPMS isnot functioning properly,the low tire
pressure warninglightwillflash forapproximately 1
minute whentheignition switchisplaced inthe ªONº
position. Thelight willremain onafter the1minute.
Have thesystem checked byaNISSAN dealer.
For additional information, seeªTire Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS)º (P.5-4) .
WARNING:
. Ifthe light does notilluminate withthe
ignition switchplaced inthe ªONº position,
have thevehicle checked byaNISSAN
dealer assoon aspossible.
. Ifthe light illuminates whiledriving, avoid
sudden steering maneuvers orabrupt brak-
ing, reduce vehicle speed,pulloffthe road to
a safe location andstop thevehicle assoon as
possible. Drivingwithunder-inflated tires
may permanently damagethetires and
increase thelikelihood oftire failure. Ser-
ious vehicle damage couldoccurandmay
lead toan accident andcould result in
serious personal injury.Check thetire pres-
sure forallfour tires. Adjust thetire pressure
to the recommended COLDtirepressure
shown onthe tire placard toturn thelow tire
pressure warninglightoff.Ifyou have aflat
tire, replace itwith aspare tireassoon as
possible.
. After adjusting thetire pressure, besure to
reset theTPMS. Otherwise, theTPMS will
not warn oflow tirepressure.
. When aspare tireismounted orawheel is
replaced, theTPMS willnotfunction andthe
low tirepressure warninglightwillflash for
approximately 1minute. Thelight willre-
main onafter the1minute. Contact your
NISSAN dealerassoon aspossible fortire
replacement and/orsystem resetting.
. Replacing tireswiththose notoriginally
specified byNISSAN couldaffect theproper
operation ofthe TPMS.
CAUTION:
. The TPMS isnot asubstitute forthe regular
tire pressure check.Besure tocheck thetire
pressure regularly.
. Ifthe vehicle isbeing driven atspeeds of
less than 25km/h (16MPH) ,the TPMS may
not operate correctly.
. Besure toinstall thespecified sizeoftires
to all four wheels correctly.

When theignition switchisplaced inthe ªONº
position, themalfunction warninglightilluminates in
red. This means thatthesystem isoperational. After
starting theengine, thewarning lightturns off.
For theorange Malfunction IndicatorLight(MIL),see
ªMalfunction IndicatorLight(MIL)º (P.2-18) fordetails.
If the malfunction warninglight(red) illuminates
continuously whiletheengine isrunning, itmay
indicate anengine control system malfunction. Have
your vehicle inspected byaNISSAN dealer.You do not
need tohave yourvehicle towedtothe dealer.
CAUTION:
Continuing vehicleoperation withoutproper
servicing ofthe engine control system could
lead topoor driveability, reducedfueleconomy,
and damage tothe engine control system, which
may affect thevehicle's warranty coverage.

soon aspossible, andinflate themtothe proper
pressure. Drivingonasignificantly under-inflated tire
causes thetiretooverheat andcanlead totire failure.
Under-inflation alsoreduces fuelefficiency andtire
tread life,and may affect thevehicle's handlingand
stopping ability.
Please notethattheTPMS isnot asubstitute for
proper tiremaintenance, anditis the driver's respon-
sibility tomaintain correcttirepressure, evenifunder-
inflation hasnotreached thelevel totrigger illumination
of the TPMS lowtirepressure telltale.
Y our vehicle hasalso been equipped withaTPMS
malfunction indicatortoindicate whenthesystem is
not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indica-
tor iscombined withthelow tirepressure telltale.
When thesystem detects amalfunction, thetelltale will
flash forapproximately oneminute andthen remain
continuously illuminated.Thissequence willcontinue
upon subsequent vehiclestart-ups aslong asthe
malfunction exists.Whenthemalfunction indicatoris
illuminated, thesystem maynotbeable todetect or
signal lowtirepressure asintended. TPMSmalfunc-
tions mayoccur foravariety ofreasons, including the
installation ofreplacement oralternate tiresorwheels
on the vehicle thatprevent theTPMS fromfunctioning

. The TPMS doesnotmonitor thetirepressure of
the spare tire.
. The TPMS willactivate onlywhen thevehicle is
driven atspeeds above25km/h (16MPH) .Also,
this system maynotdetect asudden dropintire
pressure (forexample aflat tire while driving) .
. The lowtirepressure warninglightmaynot
automatically turnoffwhen thetirepressure is
adjusted. Afterthetireisinflated tothe recom-
mended pressure, resetthetire pressures regis-
tered inyour vehicle andthen drive thevehicle at
speeds above25km/h (16MPH) toactivate the
TPMS andturn offthe low tirepressure warning

. Depending onachange inthe outside tempera-
ture, thelow tirepressure warninglightmay
illuminate evenifthe tire pressure hasbeen
adjusted properly.Adjust thetirepressure tothe
recommended COLDtirepressure againwhen
the tires arecold, andreset theTPMS.
. You can check thepressure ofall tires inthe

WARNING:
. Ifthe low tirepressure warninglightillumi-
nates whiledriving, avoidsudden steering
maneuvers orabrupt braking, reducevehicle
speed, pulloffthe road toasafe location
and stop thevehicle assoon aspossible.
Driving withunder-inflated tiresmayperma-
nently damage thetires andincrease the
likelihood oftire failure. Serious vehicle damage
couldoccurandmay lead toan
accident andcould result inserious personal
injury. Check thetire pressure forallfour
tires. Adjust thetire pressure tothe recom-
mended COLDtirepressure shownonthe
tire placard toturn thelow tirepressure
warning lightoff.Ifthe light stillilluminates
while driving afteradjusting thetire pres-
sure, atire may beflat. Ifyou have aflat tire,
replace itwith aspare tireassoon as
possible. (SeeªFlat tireº(P.6-2) forchanging
a flat tire.)
. After adjusting thetire pressure, besure to
reset theTPMS. Otherwise, theTPMS will
not warn oflow tirepressure.
. When aspare tireismounted orawheel is
replaced, theTPMS willnotfunction andthe
low tirepressure warninglightwillflash for
approximately 1minute. Thelight willre-
main onafter the1minute. Contact a
NISSAN dealerassoon aspossible fortire
replacement and/orsystem resetting.
. Replacing tireswiththose notoriginally
specified byNISSAN couldaffect theproper
operation ofthe TPMS.
. Donot inject anytireliquid oraerosol tire
sealant intothetires, asthis may cause a
malfunction ofthe tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION:
. The TPMS maynotfunction properly when
the wheels areequipped withtirechains or
the wheels areburied insnow.
. Do not place metalized filmorany metal

Utility vehicles haveasignificantly higherroll-
over ratethan other types ofvehicles.
They havehigher ground clearance thanpassenger
cars tomake themcapable ofperforming inawide
variety ofon-pavement andoff-road applications. This
gives themahigher center ofgravity thanordinary cars.
An advantage ofhigher ground clearance isabetter
view ofthe road, allowing youtoanticipate problems.
However, theyarenot designed forcornering atthe
same speeds asconventional passengercarsany
more thanlow-slung sportscarsaredesigned to
perform satisfactorily underoff-road conditions. Ifat all
possible, avoidsharp turnsorabrupt maneuvers,
particularly athigh speeds. Aswith other vehicles of
this type, failure tooperate thisvehicle correctly may
result inloss ofcontrol orvehicle rollover.
CAUTION:
. Donot drive ondry hard surface roadsin
