TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
WITH EASY FILL TIRE ALERT
A Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning
message will appear in the vehicle information
display
1 and the low tire pressure warning
light 2 will illuminate when one or
more tires are low in 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.

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 \
tire to the recommended COLD tire pressure.

To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system:
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 haza\
rd warning
lights will start flashing.
4. When the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the
hazard warning flashers will stop.
5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.

After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 \
mph (25 km/h).
The Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning message and low tire pressure warning
light will extinguish.

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

The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to
the “Technical and consumer information (section 9)” 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.

SYSTEM GUIDE
HOMELINK® UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped)

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can learn and consolidate the functions of up to
three different hand-held transmitters, operating items such as garage doors, property
gates, outdoor and indoor lights or alarm systems.


To program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
• Position the handheld transceiver 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away from the HomeLink
surface, keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
• Press and hold the desired HomeLink button and the handheld transmitter \
button
simultaneously until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then ra\
pidly.
• Both buttons may be released when the indicator light flashes rapidly.


To verify the programing is complete, press and hold the HomeLink button \
and
observe the indicator light:
• A solid, continuous light indicates the programing is complete and the H\
omeLink
button will activate your device.
• A blinking light that turns to a solid, continuous light after 2 seconds\
indicates
additional steps are required to complete the programing.


An additional person may make the remaining steps easier. To complete the
programing process:
• At the receiver of the device that you are programing to the HomeLink sy\
stem, press
and release the “learn” or “smart” button (the name may var\
