NISSAN vehicle - Manual (Page 278)

For vehicles equipped with Michelin ா PAXா tires,
the vehicle can be driven for a limited time on a
flat tire, see ЉMichelin PAX TiresЉ in the ЉMainte-
nance and do-it-yourself Љ section.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors tire pres-
sure of all tires except the spare. When the low
tire pressure warning light is lit or flashing con-
tinuously, one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. If equipped, the system also dis-
plays pressure of all tires (except the spare tire)
on the display screen by sending a signal from a
sensor that is installed in each wheel. If the ve-
hicle is being driven with low tire pressure, the
TPMS will activate and warn you of it by the low
tire pressure warning light. This system will acti-
vate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds
above 16 MPH (25 km/h). For more details, refer
to “Warning/indicator lights and audible remind-
ers” in the “Instruments and controls” section,
“Tire pressure information”in the “Display screen,
heater, air conditioner and audio and phone sys-
tems” section and “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driving” section.
WARNING
● If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the vehicle
as soon as possible. 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 pres-
sure shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low tire
pressure warning light OFF. If you have
a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as
soon as possible.
● Although you can continue driving with
a punctured Michelin ா PAXா tire (if so
equipped), remember that vehicle han-
dling stability is reduced, which could
lead to an accident and personal injury.
Also, driving a long distance at high
speeds may damage the tires.
● Do not drive at speeds above 50 MPH
(80 km/h) and do not drive more than
125 miles (200 km) with a punctured
Michelin ா PAXா tire (if so equipped).
The actual distance the vehicle can be
driven on a flat tire depends on outside
temperature, vehicle load, road condi-
tions and other factors.
● Do not tow a trailer when a Michelinா
PAX ா (if so equipped) tire is flat.
● When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be
indicated, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash. Contact your NISSAN dealer
as soon as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting.
● Replacing tires with those not originally
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 pressure
sensors.
