Tire PreSSure MoNiToriNG SYSTeM (TPMS)

The TPMS monitors tire pressure. if the TPMS is not
functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute and the light will
remain on after 1 minute. Have the system checked by
a niSSAn dealer.

if the low tire pressure warning light illuminates but
does not blink, check the tire pressure in all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended cOLd
tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading information
label located in the driver’s door opening.

After tire pressures are adjusted, the vehicle will need to be driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning light.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and the
outside temperature. 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 pressure in all four tires.

for more information, refer to the “instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual.
