FLAT TIRE

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

This vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). It monitors tire pres- sure of all tires except the spare. When the low tire pressure warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. The sys- tem also displays pressure of all tires (except the spare tire) on the trip computer by sending a signal from a sensor that is installed in each wheel. If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure, the TPMS will activate and warn you of it by the low tire pressure warning light (in the meter panel) or the PSI indicator (on the trip computer). This system will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). For more details, refer to “Trip com- puter” and “Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and controls” section and “Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.

WARNING

￿If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates and/or the PSI indicator flashes while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt brak- ing, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe location and stop the vehicle as soon as possible. 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 and Loading Information label to turn the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon as possible.

￿When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash. Contact your

NISSAN dealer as soon as possible for tire replacement and/or system resetting.

￿Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could af- fect the proper operation of the TPMS.

￿Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires, as this may cause a malfunction of the tire pres- sure sensors.
