Essential information TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WITH EASY FILL TIRE ALERT A Tire Pressure Low - Add Air warning message will appear in the vehicle information display 01 and the low tire pressure warning light 02 will illuminate when one or more tires are low on pressure and air is needed. •  The 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 mile (1.6km) at moderate speeds. When 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. 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. 01 02 To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system: 3. Add air to the under-inflated tire and within a few seconds, the hazard warning lights will start flashing. 4. When the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the hazard warning flashers will stop. 5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires. After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 MPH (25km/h). The Tire Pressure Low - Add Air warning message and low tire pressure warning light will disappear. 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 in low ambient temperature, check the tire pressure in your tires. • Check the tire pressure (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. 6 To view detailed instructional videos regarding these and other features, please go to www.nissanownersinfo.mobi

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ²TPMS±
WITH EASY FILL TIRE ALERT
A
Tire Pressure Low – Add Air
warning message
will appear in the vehicle information display
01
and
the low tire pressure warning light
02
will illuminate
when one or more tires are low
on pressure and air is needed.
•
The 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 mile (1.6km) at
moderate speeds.
When adding air to an under-in±ated tire, the TPMS
with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides visual and audible
signals to help you in±ate the tires to the
recommended COLD tire pressure.
To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system:
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-in±ated tire and within a few seconds, the hazard warning lights will
start ±ashing.
4. When the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the hazard
warning ±ashers will stop.
5. Repeat this procedure for any additional under-in±ated tires.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 MPH (25km/h).
The
Tire Pressure Low – Add Air
warning message and low tire pressure warning
light will disappear.
When the low tire pressure warning light ±ashes 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 in±ation 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 your tires.
•
Check the tire pressure (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.
