tirE Pr Essur E monitorin G systEm (tPms)
A ChEC k tirE PrEssurE warning message will

appear in the vehicle information display
01 and
the low tire pressure warning light 02 will illuminate
when one or more tires are low on pressure
and air is needed.
• 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 mile (1.6km) at moderate speeds.

After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle
at speeds above 16 MPH (25km/h). The Ch ECk
tirE P rEssurE warning message and the
low tire pressure warning light will disappear.

When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for
1 minute and then remains on, the TPMS is not
functioning properly. Have the system checked by a ni SSAn 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 temperature o\
f 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.
