5-10 Starting and driving
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-in-
flated tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute
for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects
a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function prop-
erly.

. Since the spare tire is not equipped with
the TPMS, the TPMS does not monitor the
tire pressure of the spare tire.
. The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 25 km/h
(16 MPH). Also, this system may not detect a
sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a
flat tire while driving).
. The low tire pressure warning light may not
automatically turn off when the tire pres-
sure is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to
the recommended pressure, reset the tire
pressures registered in your vehicle (model
with TPMS reset function) and then drive
the vehicle at speeds above 25 km/h (16
MPH) to activate the TPMS and turn off the
low tire pressure warning light.
. Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation
and the outside temperature. Do not re-
duce the tire pressure after driving because
the tire pressure rises after driving. Low
outside temperature can lower the tem-
perature of the air inside the tire which can
cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This
may cause the low tire pressure warning
light to illuminate. If the warning light
illuminates in low ambient temperature,
check the tire pressure for all four tires.
. Depending on a change in the outside
temperature, the low tire pressure warning
light may illuminate even if the tire pressure
has been adjusted properly. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure again when the tires are cold, and
reset the TPMS (model with TPMS reset
function).
. You can check the pressure of all tires in
the vehicle information display. (See “Trip
computer” (P.2-37).)
For additional information, see “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” (P.2-14).
WARNING:
. If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage
the tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could
occur and may lead to an accident and
could result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
tire placard to turn the low tire pressure
warning light off. If the light still illumi-
nates while driving after adjusting the
tire pressure, a tire may be flat or the
TPMS may be malfunctioning. If you have
a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as
soon as possible. If no tire is flat and all
tires are properly inflated, have the ve-
hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer.
. After adjusting the tire pressure, be sure
to reset the TPMS. Otherwise, the TPMS
will not warn of low tire pressure (model
with TPMS reset function).
. Since the spare tire is not equipped with
the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted
or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately 1
minute. The light will remain on after the
