TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
A CHECK 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.



•


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 16 \
M PH (25 km/h). The
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message and 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 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, 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.
•


Chec
k the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always prior \
to long distance trips.
