TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS) (where fitted)
j
A
Tyre valve with sensor
WARNING
If the TPMS indicator light illuminates while
driving:
avoid sudden steering manoeuvres
avoid abrupt braking
reduce vehicle speed
pull off the road to a safe location
stop the vehicle as soon as possible
Driving with under-inflated tyres may perma-
nently damage the tyres and increase the like-
lihood of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur which may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal injury.
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 can be used for temporarily 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 sen-
sors.
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
