If the 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.
Driving with under-inflated tires may per-
manently 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. Check the tire pressure
for all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure
to the recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label located in the driver’s door
opening to turn the low tire pressure
warning light OFF. If the light still comes
on while driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat. If you have a
flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as
soon as possible.

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.

CAUTION

The TPMS is not a substitute for the

regular tire pressure check. Be sure 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 operate correctly.

Be sure to install the specified size of

tires to the 4 wheels correctly.

Master warning light

When the ignition is in the ON position, the master
warning light illuminates if any of the following are
displayed on the vehicle information display.

● No key warning
● Low fuel warning
● Low windshield-washer fluid warning
● Parking brake release warning
● Door/liftgate open warning
● Loose fuel cap
● Check tire pressure warning

Power steering warning light

WARNING

If the engine is not running or is turned

off while driving, the power assist for
the steering will not work. Steering will
be harder to operate.

When the power steering warning light

illuminates with the engine running,
there will be no power assist for the
steering. You will still have control of
the vehicle, but the steering will be
much harder to operate. Have the
power steering system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.

When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the power steering warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the power steering warning
light turns off. This indicates that the electric
power steering system is operational. If the
power steering warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, it may indicate the power
steering system is not functioning properly and
may need servicing. Have the hydraulic pump
electric power steering system checked by a
NISSAN dealer. See “Power steering system” in
the “Starting and driving” section.
