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 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 dur-
ing a tyre change. Once they have been re-
moved, the sensor grommet and washer can-
not be reused and must be replaced. The
TPMS sensors 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).
For more details about the TPMS, see “Tyre Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section.
