•
Check the tyre pressure for all four tyres. Ad-
just the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure shown on the tyre plac-
ard to turn the TPMS indicator light “OFF”. In
case of a flat tyre, replace it with a spare tyre
as soon as possible.
•
When a spare tyre is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
TPMS indicator light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. Be sure to follow all instructions for
wheel replacement and make sure the TPMS
system is mounted correctly.
•
Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by NISSAN could affect the proper opera-
tion of the TPMS.
•
The Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tyre Repair
Sealant or equivalent can be used for tempo-
rarily repairing a tyre. Do not inject any other
tyre liquid or aerosol tyre sealant into the
tyres, as this may cause a malfunction of the
tyre pressure sensors.
•
NISSAN recommends using only Genuine
NISSAN Emergency Tyre Sealant provided
with your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may
damage the valve stem seal which can cause
the tyre to lose air pressure. Visit a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop as soon as pos-
sible after using tyre repair sealant (for mod-
els equipped with the emergency tyre punc-
ture repair kit).
CAUTION
•
The TPMS may not function properly when the
wheels are equipped with tyre chains or the
wheels are buried in snow.
•
Do not place metalised film or any metal parts
(antenna, etc.) on the windows. This may
cause poor reception of the signals from the
tyre pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not
function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tempo-
rarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS
and cause the TPMS indicator light to illumi-
nate. Some examples are:
– Facilities or electric devices using similar
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.
– If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is
being used in or near the vehicle.
– If a computer (or similar equipment) or a
DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
•
When inflating the tyres and checking the tyre
pressure, never bend the valves.
•
Special aluminium valves are fitted to mount
the TPMS sensors on the wheels. The TPMS
sensor is fixed at the wheels by a nut. The nut
needs to be correctly fitted at a torque setting
of 7.5 ± 0.5 Nm. If the TPMS sensor is tight-
ened exceeding the limit, there is a possibility
the sensor grommet will be damaged. If the
sensor is tightened under the limit, there is a
possibility to cause an air leak.
•
Use Genuine NISSAN or equivalent valve caps
that comply with the factory-fitted valve cap
specifications.
•
Do not use metal valve caps.
•
Fit the valve caps properly. Without the valve
caps the valve and tyre pressure monitor sen-
sors could be damaged.
•
Do not damage the valves and sensors when
storing the wheels or fitting different tyres.
•
Replace the sensor grommet and washer ev-
ery six years (for example during a tyre
change). Once they have been removed, the
sensor grommet and washer cannot be re-
used and must be replaced. The TPMS sen-
sors can be used again.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) moni-
tors the tyre pressure of the four wheels except the
spare wheel. When the TPMS indicator light comes
on together with the TPMS tyre location indicator
light (in the meter panel), one or more of the tyres is
significantly under-inflated. If the vehicle is being
driven with low tyre pressure, the TPMS will activate
and TPMS indicator light together with the TPMS
tyre location indicator light remains on. This system
will deactivate only when tyre pressure is corrected
and the vehicle is driven at speeds above 25 km/h
(16 MPH).
