Tire and Loading Information label located
in the driver’s door opening. The low tire
pressure warning light does not automati-
cally turn off when the tire pressure is ad-
justed. After the tire is inflated to the rec-
ommended 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 pres-
sure gauge to check the tire pressure.

For additional information, see “Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and

driving” section and in the “In case of emergency”

section.
TPMS malfunction:

If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low

tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi-

mately 1 minute when the ignition switch is

placed in the ON position. The light will remain on

after the 1 minute. Have the system checked by a

NISSAN dealer.
For additional information, see “Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and

driving” section and “Tire pressure” in the “Main-

tenance and do-it-yourself” section.

WARNING

If the light does not illuminate with the

ignition switch placed in the ON posi-

tion, have the vehicle checked by a

NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

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

permanently damage the tires and in-

crease the likelihood of tire failure. Se-

rious vehicle damage could occur and

may lead to an accident and could re-

sult 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 Information 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, re-

place it with a spare tire as soon as

possible.

When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel

is replaced, 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.
