.


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 un- der-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 pressure 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 light still illuminates while driv- ing after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. 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, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi- mately 1 minute. The light will remain on after 1 minute. Contact your NISSAN dealer as soon as


possible for tire replacement and/ or system resetting.


. Replacing tires with those not ori- ginally specified by NISSAN could affect 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.

This indicator appears when the customer set distance comes for replacing tires. You can set or reset the distance for replacing tires. (See “Trip computer” later in this section.)


WARNING


The tire replacement indicator is not a substitute for regular tire checks, in- cluding tire pressure checks. See “Changing wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec- tion. Many factors including tire infla- tion, alignment, driving habits and road conditions affect tire wear and when


tires should be replaced. Setting the tire replacement indicator for a certain driving distance does not mean your tires will last that long. Use the tire replacement indicator as a guide only and always perform regular tire checks. Failure to perform regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks could result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to a collision, which could result in serious personal injury or death.

Black plate (116,1)


VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (if so equipped) GUID-3A2129E5-3F98-44E7-8D33-56C1DC801E7A The vehicle security system provides visual and audio alarm signals if someone opens the doors or lift gate/trunk when the system is armed. It is not, however, a motion detection type system that activates when a vehicle is moved or when a vibration occurs. The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or exterior vehicle components in all situations. Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a brief period. Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and always lock it when unattended. Be aware of your surroundings, and park in secure, well-lit areas whenever possible. Many devices offering additional protection, such as component locks, identification markers, and tracking systems, are available at auto supply stores and specialty shops. Your NISSAN dealer may also offer such equipment. Check with your insurance company to see if you may be eligible for discounts for various theft protection features.

. When xenon headlights are on, they produce a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock, never attempt to modify or disassemble. Always have your xenon headlights replaced at a NISSAN dealer.


. Xenon headlights provide consider- ably more light than conventional headlights. If they are not correctly aimed, they might temporarily blind an oncoming driver or the driver ahead of you and cause a serious accident. If headlights are not aimed correctly, immediately take your ve- hicle to a NISSAN dealer and have the headlights adjusted correctly.


When the xenon headlight is initially turned on, its brightness or color varies slightly. However, the color and brightness will soon stabilize.


The life of xenon headlights will be shortened by frequent on-off opera- tion. It is generally desirable not to turn

.


off the headlights for short intervals (for example, when the vehicle stops at a traffic signal). If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burning out, the brightness will drasti- cally decrease, the light will start blinking, or the color of the light will become reddish. If one or more of the above signs appear, contact a NISSAN dealer.
