LOOSE FUEL CAP
A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will
appear in the trip computer
1 when the
fuel-filler cap is not tightened correctly.
To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click is heard.
The warning message will disappear when the vehicle detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened and the reset button
2 is pressed for more than 1 second.
If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction Indicator Light may illuminate.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Pre-driving checks and
adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
•
The 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 the tire pressures are adjusted, press the
reset button
3 for more than
1 second. Drive the vehicle at speeds above
16 MPH (25 km/h). The CHECK TIRE PRES
warning message and low tire pressure warning
light will extinguish.
When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately 1 minute and then remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
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 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 “Technical and consumer information (section 9)” 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.
