TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS) (ifequipped)
GUID-F 58BF3DF-6 647-4E90-9 8C6-3B8E77 13B953
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS) monitors
tire pressure ofall tires except thespare. Whenthelow
tire pressure warninglightislit, one ormore ofyour
tires issignificantly under-inflated.
The TPMS willactivate onlywhen thevehicle isdriven
at speeds above25km/h (16MPH) .Also, thissystem
may notdetect asudden dropintire pressure (for
example aflat tire while driving) .
For more details abouttheTPMS, seeªTire Pressure
Monitoring System(TPMS)º (P.6-2) ,ªTire Pressure
Monitoring System(TPMS)º (P.5-4) andªTire Pressure
Monitoring System(TPMS)º (P.8-36) .
For additional information, seeªLow tirepressure
warning lightº(P.2-14) .
TIRE INFLA TION PRESSURE
T32A130 827-90622 EBC-3A8D-41F6-8B20-6 699CA22E4EE
Periodically checkthepressure ofthe tires, including
the spare. Anincorrect tirepressure mayadversely
affect tirelifeand vehicle handling. Thetirepressure
should bechecked whentiresareCOLD. Tiresare
considered COLDafterthevehicle hasbeen parked
for 3or more hours, ordriven lessthan 1.6km(1mile) .
COLD tirepressures areshown onthe tire placard.
Insufficient pressurecanlead toan overheating ofthe
tire and subsequent internaldamage. Athigh speeds,
this could resultintread separation andeven bursting
of the tire.
TYPES OFTIRES

CAUTION:
When changing orreplacing tires,besure all
four tires areofthe same type(that is,summer,
all season orsnow) andconstruction. ANISSAN
dealer maybeable tohelp youwith information
about tiretype, size,speed ratingandavail-
ability.
Replacement tiresmayhave alower speed ratingthan
the factory equipped tires,andthey maynotmatch the
potential maximum vehiclespeed.Neverexceed the
maximum speedratingofthe tire.
All season tires
T32A130827- E671C002-8738-4216-AE C8-6CD14C8720FA
