pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure
gauge to check the tire pressure.
. The Check tire Pressure warning appears on
the dot matrix liquid crystal display when the
low tire pressure warning light is illuminated
and low tire pressure is detected. The
Check tire Pressure warning turns off when
the low tire pressure warning light turns off.
The Check tire Pressure warning does not
appear if the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
. Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by operation of the vehicle
and the outside temperature. A low outside
temperature can decrease the temperature
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.
For additional information, see “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section and “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” in the “6. In case of emer-
gency” section.
WARNING
. If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull
off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble. 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 pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the tire is flat, repair it as
soon as possible. (See “Flat tire” in
the “6. In case of emergency” sec-
tion for changing a flat tire.)
. When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after 1 minute. Con-
tact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
as soon as possible for tire replace-
ment and/or system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
. If you used the Emergency Tire
Sealant to repair a minor tire punc-
ture, your NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer will also need to replace the
TPMS sensor in addition to repair-
ing or replacing the tire .
. NISSAN recommends using only
NISSAN Genuine Emergency Tire
Sealant provided with your vehicle.
Other tire sealants may damage the
valve stem seal which can cause the
tire to lose air pressure.
CAUTION
. The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried
in snow.
