– 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 aluminium valves every six years
(for example during a tyre change). Once they
have been removed, the aluminium valves
cannot be reused and must be replaced. The
TPMS sensors can be used again.
Low tyre pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tyre pressure,
the warning light will illuminate.
When the TPMS indicator light illuminates, you
should stop and adjust the tyre pressure to the rec-
ommended COLD tyre pressure shown on the tyre
placard. The TPMS indicator light does not auto-
matically turn off when the tyre pressure is adjusted.
After TPMS reset operation or when the correct tyre
pressure is detected, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH) to reset the TPMS
and turn off the TPMS indicator light. Use a tyre
pressure gauge to check the tyre pressure.
For additional information, see “Tyre Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.
When wheels do not have genuine NISSAN tyre
pressure sensors or if the TPMS malfunctions:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the TPMS
indicator light will flash for approximately 1 minute
when the ignition switch is pushed ON. The light will
remain on after the 1 minute. Make sure the correct
genuine NISSAN tyre pressure sensors or equiva-
lent are fitted to the wheels. When the light still illu-
minates, have the system checked by an NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
