Low tire pressure warning

light

Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that

monitors the tire pressure of all tires

except the spare.
The low tire pressure warning light warns

of low tire pressure or indicates that the

TPMS is not functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is pushed ON,

this light illuminates for about 1 second

and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire

pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning also

appears in the vehicle information dis-

play.
When the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates, you should stop and adjust

the tire pressure to the recommended

COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and

Loading Information label. The low tire

pressure warning light does not automa-

tically turn off when the tire pressure is

adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the

recommended 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 pressure gauge to check the tire

pressure.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning ap-

pears each time the ignition switch is

placed in the ON position as long as the

low tire pressure warning light remains

illuminated.
For additional information, see “Vehicle

information display” (P.2-19), “Tire Pres-

sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-3)

and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS)” (P.6-3).
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly,

the low tire pressure warning light will

flash for approximately 1 minute when the

ignition switch is pushed ON. The light will

remain on after the 1 minute. Have the

system checked. It is recommended you

visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning does

not appear if the low tire pressure warn-

ing light illuminates to indicate a TPMS

malfunction.
For additional information, see “Tire Pres-

sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-3).

WARNING

. If the light does not illuminate

with the ignition switch pushed

ON, have the vehicle checked as

soon as possible. It is recom-

mended you visit a NISSAN dealer

for this service.

. If the light illuminates while driv-

ing, avoid sudden steering man-

euvers or abrupt braking, reduce

vehicle speed, pull off the road to

a safe location and stop the

vehicle as soon as possible. Driv-

ing with under-inflated tires may

permanently damage the tires

and increase the likelihood of tire

failure. Serious vehicle damage

could occur and may lead to an

accident and could result in ser-

ious 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 illuminates while

driving after adjusting the tire

pressure, a tire may be flat or

the TPMS may be malfunctioning.

Instruments and controls

If you have a flat tire, replace it

with a spare tire (if so equipped)

or repair it with the tire puncture

repair kit (if so equipped) as soon

as possible. If no tire is flat and all

tires are properly inflated, it is

recommended you consult a

NISSAN dealer.

. Since the spare tire is not

equipped with the TPMS, 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 ap-

proximately 1 minute. The light

will remain on after the 1 minute.

Have your tires replaced and/or

TPMS system reset as soon as

possible. It is recommended you

visit a NISSAN dealer for these

services.

. 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 four wheels
