TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
WITH EASY FILL TIRE ALERT
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE 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.
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the
TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert system provides visual and audible signals
to help you inflate the tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure.
To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system: 1. Apply the parking brake and press the P (PARK) button on the shift lever.

2.


Place the power switc
h in the ON position. Do not place in the READY to drive mode.



3.

Add air to the underinflated tire, and within a few seconds the hazard\
warning lights

will flash.



4.

W
hen the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the
hazard warning message lights will stop flashing.



5.

Repeat this procedure for any additional underinflated tires.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 1 6 mph (25 km/h)
and the warning and indicator 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-certified LEAF 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.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving (section
5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
