Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual

8.2.4.1. Additional information

  • 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 driving).

  • The low tyre pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tyre pressure is adjusted. After the tyre is inflated to the recommended pressure, reset the tyre pressures registered in your vehicle and then drive the vehicle at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH) to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tyre pressure warning light. Use a tyre pressure gauge to check the tyre pressure.

  • The [Low Tyre Pressure] warning appears in the vehicle information display when the low tyre pressure warning light is illuminated and low tyre pressure is detected. The “Low Tyre Pressure” warning turns off when the low tyre pressure warning light turns off.

    The [Low Tyre Pressure] warning does not appear if the low tyre pressure warning light illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.

  • Tyre pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and the outside temperature. Do not reduce the tyre pressure after driving because the tyre pressure rises after driving. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the tyre which can cause a lower tyre inflation pressure. This may cause the low tyre pressure warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in low ambient temperature, check the tyre pressure for all four tyres.

  • Depending on a change in the outside temperature, the low tyre pressure warning 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.

  • You can also check the tyre pressure of all tyres in the vehicle information display. (See

    .)

  • If the low tyre pressure warning light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering manoeuvres 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. Check the tyre pressure for all four tyres. Adjust the tyre pressure to the recommended COLD tyre pressure shown on the tyre placard to turn the low tyre pressure warning light OFF. If you have a flat tyre, repair it with an emergency tyre puncture repair kit as soon as possible. (See

    for repairing a flat tyre.)
  • After adjusting the tyre pressure, be sure to reset the TPMS. Otherwise, the TPMS will not warn of low tyre pressure.

  • Replacing tyres with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.

  • NISSAN recommends using only Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tyre 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.

  • The TPMS may not function properly when the wheels are equipped with tyre chains or the wheels are buried in snow.

  • Do not place metalised 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.

Some devices and transmitters may temporarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS and cause the low tyre pressure warning light to illuminate. Some examples are:

  • 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.

Low tyre pressure warning light may illuminate in the following cases.

  • If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and tyre without TPMS.

  • If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID has not been registered.

  • If the wheel is not originally specified by NISSAN.
