Tyre valve with sensor

The tyre pressure monitoring system monitors the

tyre pressure of the four wheels while the vehicle is

in motion. Following a loss in pressure, the system

will warn the driver using a visual warning. Each

If you now press the <OK> switch on the steering

wheel, a further screen is displayed to tell you the

tyre pressure of all four tyres.

TPMS sensor A has a registered wheel location and

sends pressure and temperature data via radio to a

receiver inside the vehicle.

Each tyre, including the spare (where fitted), should

be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the

inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle

manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre infla-

tion pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a dif-

ferent size than the size indicated on the vehicle

placard or tyre inflation pressure label, you should

determine the proper tyre inflation pressure for

those tyres.)

Accordingly, when the TPMS indicator light illumi-

nates, safely stop the vehicle to check the tyres as

soon as possible and inflate the tyres to the proper

pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated

tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to

tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-

ciency and tyre tread life which may affect the vehi-

cle’s handling and stopping ability.

The TPMS indicator light may not automatically

turn off when the tyre pressure is adjusted. Af-

ter the tyre is inflated to the recommended

COLD tyre pressure, drive the vehicle at speeds

above 25 km/h (16 MPH) to activate the TPMS.

See “New and repositioned TPMS sensors (in-

cluding fitment of alternative wheels)” later in

this section

Check the tyre pressure for all four tyres. Ad-

just the tyre pressure to the recommended

COLD tyre pressure shown on the tyre placard

to turn the TPMS indicator light “OFF”. In case

of a flat tyre, replace it with a spare tyre as

soon as possible. (See “Flat tyre” in the “6. In

case of emergency” section for changing a flat

tyre.)

NOTE

The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre main-

tenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to main-

tain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation

has not reached the level to trigger the illumina-

Following a change in the outside temperature,

the TPMS indicator light may illuminate even if

the tyre pressure has been adjusted properly.

Adjust the tyre pressure to the recommended

COLD tyre pressure again when the tyres are

cold, and reset the TPMS.

When a spare tyre is mounted or a wheel is

replaced, the TPMS will not function and the

TPMS indicator light will flash for approxi-

mately 1 minute. The light will remain on after

1 minute. Be sure to follow all instructions for

wheel replacement and mount the TPMS sys-

tem correctly.

tion of the TPMS indicator light a .

The TPMS indicator light flashes for a short period

and then turns on continuously if the system is not

operating properly. This sequence will continue

upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the

malfunction exists (missing or faulty TPMS sensor

or TPMS system malfunction). When the malfunc-

tion warning light is illuminated, the system may

not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as

intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a vari-

ety of reasons including the installation of replace-

ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle

that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS indicator light after replac-

ing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to

ensure that the replacement or alternate tyres and

wheels allow theTPMS to continue to function prop-

erly.

For additional information, see “[Check cold tyre]

message” later in this section.

Replacing tyres with those not originally

specified by NISSAN could affect the proper

operation of the TPMS.

WARNING

If the TPMS indicator light illuminates while

driving:

•

The Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tyre Repair

Sealant or equivalent can be used for tempo-

rarily repairing a tyre. Do not inject any other

tyre liquid or aerosol tyre sealant into the ty-

res, as this may cause a malfunction of the tyre

pressure sensors.

–

avoid sudden steering manoeuvres

avoid abrupt braking

reduce vehicle speed

pull off the road to a safe location

stop the vehicle as soon as possible

NISSAN recommends using only Genuine

NISSAN EmergencyTyre Sealant provided with

your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may damage

the valve stem seal which can cause the tyre

to lose air pressure. Visit a NISSAN dealer or

qualified workshop as soon as possible after

using tyre repair sealant (for models equipped

with the emergency tyre puncture repair kit).

•

The TPMS does not monitor the tyre pressure of

the spare tyre.

Driving with under-inflated tyres may perma-

nently damage the tyres and increase the like-

lihood of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage

could occur which may lead to an accident and

could result in serious personal injury.

•

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

tyre pressure (for example a flat tyre while driv-

ing).

188 Starting and driving

Fit the valve caps properly. Without the valve

caps the valve and tyre pressure monitor sen-

sors could be damaged.

•

CAUTION

The TPMS may not function properly when the

wheels are equipped with tyre chains or the

wheels are buried in snow.

•

Do not damage the valves and sensors when

storing the wheels or fitting different tyres.

•

Do not place metallised film or any metal parts

(antenna, etc.) on the windows. This may

cause poor reception of the signals from the

tyre pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not

function properly.

Replace the TPMS sensor valve stem (includ-

ing valve core and cap) and screw (where fit-

ted) when the tyres are replaced due to wear

or age. The screw (where fitted) must be fitted

correctly with a torque setting of 1.4 0.1 N.m.

The TPMS sensors can be used again.

Some devices and transmitters may tempo-

rarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS

and cause the TPMS indicator light to illumi-

nate. Some examples are:

Use caution when using tyre inflation equip-

ment with a rigid air supply tube, as leverage

applied by the long nozzle can damage the

valve stem.

•

–

Facilities or electric devices using similar

radio frequencies are near the vehicle.

If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is

being used in or near the vehicle.

If a computer (or similar equipment) or a

DC/AC converter is being used in or near

the vehicle.

–

If devices which transmit electrical noise

are connected to the vehicle's 12V power

supply.

When inflating the tyres and checking the tyre

pressure, never bend the valves.

•

Use Genuine NISSAN valve caps that comply

with the factory-fitted valve cap specifica-

tions.

Do not use metal valve caps.

ADJUSTING TPMS TARGET

PRESSURE

The TPMS system can be adjusted in the vehicle in-

formation display to set the target pressure to the

‘Laden Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard. See

“Settings” in the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-

tion. To adjust the target pressure use the steering

wheel switches to select the [Settings] menu, fol-

lowed by [Tyre Pressures]. Select [Target front] and

[Target rear] and set the desired tyre pressure.

TPMS TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION

The tyre pressure is affected by the temperature of

the tyre; the tyre temperature increases when the

car is driven. To be able to accurately monitor the

tyre air leakage and to prevent false TPMS warnings

due to reductions in temperature, the TPMS system

uses temperature sensors in the tyres to perform

temperature compensation calculations.

The TPMS target pressures will be displayed in the

centre of the front and rear axle on the TPMS screen

of the vehicle information display.

On rare occasions it may be necessary to recalibrate

the TPMS system reference temperature using the

vehicle information display. See “Settings” in the

“2. Instruments and controls” section. This opera-

tion should only be performed when the actual tyre

pressure has been adjusted, whilst the current am-

bient temperature is significantly different to the

current calibration temperature.

TYRE PRESSURE UNITS
