display.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and Load-
ing Information label. The low tire pressure
warning light does not automatically turn
off when the tire pressure is adjusted. Af ter
the tire is inflated to the recommended
pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h) to activate
the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure
warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to
check the tire pressure.
Instruments and controls2-21

The “Low Tire Pressure — Add Air” warning
appears each time the power switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the low

WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• If the light does not illuminate when the power switch is placed in the ON
position, have the vehicle checked. It
is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer as soon
as possible for this service.
• If the light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers
or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to a safe lo-
cation and stop the vehicle as soon
as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently
damage the tires and increase the
likelihood of tire failure. Serious ve-
hicle damage could occur and may
lead to an accident and could result
in serious personal injury or death.
Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Infor- mation label to turn the low tire
pressure warning light OFF. If the
light still illuminates while driving
af ter adjusting the tire pressure, a
tire may be flat or the TPMS may be
malfunctioning. If you have a flat
tire, replace it with a replacement
tire as soon as possible. If no tire is
flat and all tires are properly inflated,
have the vehicle checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.
• When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as a spare tire, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on af ter 1 minute. Have
the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer as soon as pos-
sible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
• Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the
TPMS.

to check the tire pressure regularly.
• If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less than 16 mph
(25 km/h), the TPMS may not oper-
ate correctly.
• Be sure to install the specified size of tires to the four wheels correctly.
