If the light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe loca- tion 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 acci- dent and could result in serious per- sonal injury or death. Check the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure show on the Tire and Loading Information label lo- cated in the driver’s door opening to turn the low tire pressure warning light off. If the light still illuminates 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 vehicle checked. It is recom- mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
When using a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, 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. Have your tires replaced and/or TPMS system reset as soon as possible. It is recom- mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for these services.
Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could af- fect the proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION •
The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to check the tire pressure regularly.
If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less than 16 mph (25 km/h), the TPMS may not operate correctly.
Be sure to install the specified size of tires to the four wheels correctly.
