Nissan ARIYA 2024 Owners Manual

12.16.1.2. Tyre inflation pressure

Check the pressure of the tyres often and always prior to long distance trips. The recommended tyre pressure specifications are shown on the tyre placard. The tyre placard is affixed to the driver side centre pillar. Tyre pressures should be checked regularly because:

  • Most tyres naturally lose air over time.

  • Tyres can lose air suddenly when driven over potholes or other objects or if the vehicle strikes a kerb while parking.

The tyre pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold. The tyres are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1.6 km (1 mile) at moderate speeds.

Incorrect tyre pressure, including under inflation, may adversely affect tyre life and vehicle handling.

  • Improperly inflated tyres can fail suddenly and cause an accident.

  • Before taking a long trip, or whenever you heavily load your vehicle, use a tyre pressure gauge to ensure that the tyre pressures are at the specified level.
