ESSENTIAL INFORMATION TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WITH EASY FILL TIRE ALERT (if so equipped) A CHECK TIRE PRES warning message will appear in the trip computer 01 and the low tire pressure warning light 02 will illuminate when one or more tires are low on pressure and air is needed. •T he tire pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. The tires are considered cold after the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km) at moderate speeds. 01 CHECK TIRE PRES After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). The CHECK TIRE PRES warning message and low tire pressure warning light will disappear. 02 W hen adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides visual and audible signals to help you inflate the tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure. To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system (if so equipped 1. Move the shift lever to the P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake. 2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position. Do not start the engine. 3. Add air to the under-inflated tire, and within a few seconds the hazard warning lights will start flashing. 4. W hen the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the hazard warning lights will stop flashing. 5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires. When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately 1 minute and then remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer. 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, check the tire pressure in your tires. • Check the tire pressures (including the spare tire) often and always prior to long distance trips. The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to section 9, "Technical and consumer information", in your Owner's Manual for the location of the Tire and Loading Information label. For more information, refer to the "Instruments and controls (section 2)", the "Starting and driving (section 5)" and the "Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)" of your Owner's Manual.
