A CHeCK… T ire … P reS… warning message
will appear in the trip computer
01 and the low tire

pressure warning light 02 will illuminate when one

or more tires are low on pressure and air is needed.



•


T

he 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 tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at



speeds above 1
6 MPH (25 km/h). The CH
eCK T

ire

Pre

S warning message and low tire pressure



warning light will dis
appear.
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides visual

and audible signals to help you inflate the tires to the recommended
c
O
LD tire pressure.
To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system (if so equipped):



1. Move the shift lever to the
P (P
arK)
position and apply the parking brake.



2. Place the ignition switc
h in the o N position. Do not start the engine.



3.

Add air to the under-inflated tire and within a few seconds, the hazar\
d warning lights will

start flashing.



4.

W
hen the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the hazard
warning lights will stop flashing.



5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.

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 temperatu\
re 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.

to long

“Technical and consumer information”, in your Owner’s Manual for the location of the Tire
and Loading Information label.
