TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WITH
EASY FILL TIRE ALERT (if so equipped)
A CHECK TIRE PRES 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.
• 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 mi (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.

After tire pressures are adjusted, 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 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\
OLD tire pressure.

To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system (if so equipped):
1. Move the shift lever to the P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON 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. When 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.
• 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.
