There will be a small reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge needle reaches E (Empty). Low tire pressure warning light Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the tire pressure of all tires except the spare. The low tire pressure warning light warns of low tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not functioning properly. Z REVIEW COPY—2007 Pathfinder (pat) Owners Manual—USA_English (nna) 10/16/06—cathy X After the ignition switch is turned ON, this light illuminates for about 1 second and turns off. Low tire pressure warning: If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres- sure, the warning light will illuminate. If you select the tire pressure information in the display (if so equipped), the LOW PRESSURE warning mes- sage will be displayed. The tire pressure for each tire will also be displayed. When the low tire pressure warning light illumi- nates, you should stop and adjust the tire pres- sure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire pressure is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the recom- mended pressure, the vehicle must be driven over 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to adjust tire pressure to the recommended pressure. For additional information, see (cid:147)Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)(cid:148) in the (cid:147)Starting and driving(cid:148) section and in the (cid:147)In case of emergency(cid:148) section.

Always drive carefully when using the hill descent control system and decel- erate the vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal if necessary. Be espe- cially careful when driving on frozen, muddy or extremely steep downhill roads. Failure to control vehicle speed may result in a loss of control of the vehicle and possible serious injury or death. c The hill descent control may not control the vehicle speed on a hill under all load or road conditions. Always be prepared to depress the brake pedal to control vehicle speed. Failure to do so may re- sult in a collision or serious personal injury.
