WARNING:
. Ifthe light does notilluminate withthe
ignition switchplaced inthe ªONº position,
have thevehicle checked byaNISSAN
dealer assoon aspossible.
. Ifthe light illuminates whiledriving, avoid
sudden steering maneuvers orabrupt brak-
ing, reduce vehicle speed,pulloffthe road to
a safe location andstop thevehicle assoon as
possible. Drivingwithunder-inflated tires
may permanently damagethetires and
increase thelikelihood oftire failure. Ser-
ious vehicle damage couldoccurandmay
lead toan accident andcould result in
serious personal injury.Check thetire pres-
sure forallfour tires. Adjust thetire pressure
to the recommended COLDtirepressure
shown onthe tire placard toturn thelow tire
pressure warninglightoff.Ifyou have aflat
tire, replace itwith aspare tireassoon as
possible.
. After adjusting thetire pressure, besure to
reset theTPMS. Otherwise, theTPMS will
not warn oflow tirepressure.
. When aspare tireismounted orawheel is
replaced, theTPMS willnotfunction andthe
low tirepressure warninglightwillflash for
approximately 1minute. Thelight willre-
main onafter the1minute. Contact your
NISSAN dealerassoon aspossible fortire
replacement and/orsystem resetting.
. Replacing tireswiththose notoriginally
specified byNISSAN couldaffect theproper
operation ofthe TPMS.
CAUTION:
. The TPMS isnot asubstitute forthe regular
tire pressure check.Besure tocheck thetire
pressure regularly.
. Ifthe vehicle isbeing driven atspeeds of
less than 25km/h (16MPH) ,the TPMS may
not operate correctly.
. Besure toinstall thespecified sizeoftires
to all four wheels correctly.
