ESSE NTIAL I N FOR MATION
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
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.

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 extinguish.

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 recomme\
nded COLD
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 haza\
rd 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 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 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
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.

WIPER BLADE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
The windshield wipers must be in the service position in order to replace\
the wiper blades.
To move the wiper blades to the service position, follow this procedure:

When the ignition switch is in the ON position or within 60 seconds of placing the
ignition switch to the OFF position, lift the windshield wiper and washer lever up to
the MIST position
1 two times in less than 0.5 seconds. The windshield
wipers will move to the service position automatically, and the wiper blades can
now be replaced.
To move the wiper blades back to the original position:

Lift the windshield wiper and washer lever up for more than 1 second or \
lower the
lever down to operate at any wiper speed.
