TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS) (ifequipped)
GUID-B1 F2EA48-882 1-41F0-BDC2-29C235 73CEE3
Each tire,including thespare (ifprovided) ,should be
checked monthlywhencoldandinflated tothe inflation
pressure recommended bythe vehicle manufacturer
on the vehicle placard ortire inflation pressure label.(If
your vehicle hastires ofadifferent sizethan thesize
indicated onthe vehicle placard ortire inflation
pressure label,youshould determine theproper tire
inflation pressure forthose tires.)
As anadded safetyfeature, yourvehicle hasbeen
equipped withaTire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) thatilluminates alow tirepressure telltale
when oneormore ofyour tiresissignificantly under-
inflated. Accordingly ,when thelow tirepressure telltale
illuminates, youshould stopandcheck yourtiresas
& R Q G L W L R Q

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
properly .Always checktheTPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing oneormore tiresorwheels onyour
vehicle toensure thatthereplacement oralternate tires
and wheels allowtheTPMS tocontinue tofunction
properly .
Additional information
GUID-2100EB 5C-6E9C-4DF0-9BA3-E30F03EA4 592
. 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
light.
. 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
vehicle information display.(See ªTrip computerº
(P .2-34) .)
For additional information, seeªLow tirepressure
warning lightº(P.2-14) .
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
parts (antenna, etc.)on the windows. This
may cause poorreception ofthe signals
