Turn off the engine as soon as it is safe to do so. proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle's tire information placard. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire malfunction. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and set to the recommended inflation pressure as specified in the vehicle placard and Owner's Manual. The recommended inflation pressure may also be found on the Tire and Loading Information label. If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure*, the light will illuminate and the chime will sound for about 10 seconds. *: lower than 26 psi (for 225/50R17 and 235/50R17 tires on Roadster model) lower than 28 psi (except for the above) For additional information, see "Low tire pressure warning system" in the "5. Starting and driving" section and "Flat tire" in the "6. In case of emergency" section. You can check the tire pressure of all 4 tires on the trip computer display. See "Trip computer" earlier in this section. WARNING ¼ If the light does not come on with the ignition switch turned ON, have the vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible. ¼ If the light comes on 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. Serious vehicle 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 Information label 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. Low tire pressure warning light After the ignition switch is turned ON, this light comes on for about 1 second and turns off. This light warns of low tire pressure. NISSAN's low tire pressure warning system is a tire pressure monitoring system. It monitors tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the tire pressure monitoring system warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the 2-14 Instruments and controls
