This vehicle isequipped withtheTire Pressure
Monitoring System(TPMS).It monitors tire
pressure ofall tires except thespare. When
the low tirepressure warninglightislit, and the
CHECK TIREPRES (pressure) warningmes-
sage isdisplayed inthe vehicle information
display ,one ormore ofyour tires issignificantly
under-inflated. Ifthe vehicle isbeing driven with
low tirepressure, theTPMS willactivate and

light. Thissystem willactivate onlywhen the
vehicle isdriven atspeeds above16MPH (25
km/h) .For more details, seeªWarning/indicator
lights andaudible remindersº (P.2-12) andªTire
Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS)º (P.5-3) .
WARNING
. Ifthe low tirepressure warninglight
illuminates whiledriving, avoidsud-
den steering maneuvers orabrupt
braking, reducevehicle speed,pull
off the road toasafe location and
stop thevehicle assoon aspossi-
ble. Driving withunder-inflated tires
may permanently damagethetires
and increase thelikelihood oftire failure.
Serious vehicledamage
could occurandmay lead toan
accident andcould result inserious
personal injury.Check thetire pres-
sure forallfour tires. Adjust thetire
pressure tothe recommended COLD
tire pressure shownonthe Tire and
Loading Information labeltoturn
the low tirepressure warninglight
OFF .If you have aflat tire, replace it
with aspare tireassoon aspossi-
ble.
. When aspare tireismounted ora

or system resetting.
. Replacing tireswiththose notori-
ginally specified byNISSAN could
affect theproper operation ofthe
TPMS.
. Do not inject anytireliquid or
aerosol tiresealant intothetires,
as this may cause amalfunction ofthe
tire pressure sensors.
