TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
This system monitors tire pressure. Please remember, this system
does not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example, a
blowout while driving). It also does not monitor the air pressure in the
spare tire.
Tire pressure is affected by temperature. Low outside temperature
causes lower tire pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate.
If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in all four tires.
To turn the low tire pressure warning light off, adjust the low tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located in the drivers
door opening.
If TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 60 seconds when the key is turned on. After 60 seconds, the light will remain
on. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
