TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
A CHECK TIRE PRES warning message will display
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, press the reset button
03 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 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 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 temperature o\
f the air inside the




tire, whic
h can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure

warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, c

heck 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 section 9,



“T
echnical 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.
