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 for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute.
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.
