TIre Pre SSure MONITOr ING SYSTeM (TPMS)
A CHeCK… TIre… PreS … warning message 01 will appear

as scrolling text in the twin trip odometer 02 and the low tire

pressure warning light
03 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 TI re Pre S warning
message and low tire pressure warning light will disappear.

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 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 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 in low ambient temperature, check the tire pressure in your tires.
• Check 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 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.
