INDICATORS FOR MAINTENANCE
1. Tire replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer set
distance comes for replacing tires. You can set or
reset the distance for replacing tires. For addi-tional information, refer to “Trip computer” in this
section.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. For additional
information, refer to “Changing wheels
and tires” in the “Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section of this manual. Many
factors including tire inflation, alignment,
driving habits and road conditions affect
tire wear and when tires should be re-
placed. Setting the tire replacement indi-
cator for a certain driving distance does
not mean your tires will last that long.
Use the tire replacement indicator as a
guide only and always perform regular
tire checks. Failure to perform regular
tire checks, including tire pressure
checks could result in tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and may lead
to a collision, which could result in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
2. 3. 4. “Other” indicators
These indicators appear when the customer set
distance comes for checking or replacing main-
tenance items other than the tires. Other mainte-
nance items can include such things as the tire
rotation. You can set or reset the distance for
checking or replacing the items. For additional
information, refer to “Trip computer” in this sec-
tion. For scheduled maintenance items and inter-
vals, refer to the NISSAN Service and Mainte-
nance Guide.

Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-61
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
• The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning also appears on the vehicle information display when
the low tire pressure warning light is illuminated
and low tire pressure is detected. The CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE warning turns off when the
low tire pressure warning light turns off.
• The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning ap- pears each time the power switch is placed in
the ON position as long as the low tire pressure
warning light remains illuminated.
• The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning does not appear if the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
• Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by operation of the vehicle and the
outside temperature. Do not reduce the tire
pressure after driving because the tire pressure
rises after driving. Low outside temperature can
lower the temperature 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
in low ambient temperature, check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. • The pressure of all tires can also be checked on
the display screen. The order of the tire pres-
sure figures displayed on the screen does not
correspond with the actual order of the tire
position.
For additional information, refer to “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section and “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)” in the “In case of emergency”
section of this manual.
WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible influences be-
fore use.
• If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driving
with under-inflated tires may perma-
nently damage the tires and increase
the likelihood of tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could result in
serious personal injury. Check the tire
pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the tire is flat, repair it as soon
as possible. (For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Flat tire” in the “In case
of emergency” section of this manual.)
• When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, TPMS will
not function and the tow tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain
on after 1 minute. Have your tires re-
placed and/or TPMS system reset as
soon as possible. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for this service.
• Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
• Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-
sure sensors.
