• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should contact the electric medical equipment manufacturer for the possible influences before use.
• If the light does not illuminate with the ignition switch placed in the ON position, have the vehicle checked as soon as possible. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
• If the 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 tyres may permanently damage the tyres and increase the likelihood of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could result in serious personal injury or death. Check the tyre pressure for all four tyres. Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located 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 tyre pressure, a tyre may be flat or the TPMS may be malfunctioning. If you have a flat tyre, replace it with a spare tyre as soon as possible. If no tyre is flat and all tyres 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 tyre, the TPMS will not function and the low tyre pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute. The light will remain on after 1 minute. Have your tyres replaced and/or the TPMS system reset as soon as possible. It is recom-mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for these services.
• Replacing tyres with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.

CAUTION

• The TPMS is not a substitute for the regular tyre pressure check. Be sure to check the tyre 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 tyres to the four wheels correctly.

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) If this indicator light comes on steady or blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate a potential emission control malfunction. If this indicator light comes on steady for 20 seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not ready for an emission control system inspection/maintenance test.
