The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors tire pressure. A LOW TIRE PRESSURE warning message will appear in the Vehicle Information Display and the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate when one or more tires are low on pressure and air is needed.

Each tire including the spare (if provided) should be checked monthly, when the tires are cold. The tires are considered cold after the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or driven less than 1 mile at moderate speeds.

Adjust the low tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 miles per hour. The warning and indicator light will disappear. If the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately one minute and then remains on after you turn the ignition ON, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle's operation and the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in low ambient temperature, check the tire pressure in your tires.

The Tire and Loading Information label provides important information at a glance. It lists proper tire size and pressure. It also lists the maximum number of occupants for your vehicle, and its maximum load capacity. Please check your Owner's Manual for the location of the Tire and Loading Information label on your vehicle. Check the tire pressure often and always prior to long distance trips.

A final note: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System does NOT detect a sudden drop in tire pressure as with a tire blowout. And it is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance.
