Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual

5.4.2.13.image Low tyre pressure warning light

Your vehicle is equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the tyre pressure of all tyres.

The low tyre pressure warning light warns of low tyre pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not functioning properly.

After the power switch is placed in the ON position, this light illuminates for about 1 second and turns off.

Low tyre pressure warning

If the vehicle is being driven with low tyre pressure, the warning light will illuminate. The [Low Tyre Pressure] warning also appears in the vehicle information display.

When the low tyre pressure warning light illuminates, you should stop and adjust the tyre pressure to the recommended COLD tyre pressure shown on the tyre placard. 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). These operations are required 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 is active as long as the low tyre pressure warning light remains illuminated.

TPMS resetting must be also performed after a tyre or a wheel is replaced, or the tyres are rotated.

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.

If the low tyre pressure warning light still continues to illuminate after the resetting operation, it may indicate that the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

TPMS malfunction

If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tyre pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute when the power switch is placed in the ON position. The light will remain on after the 1 minute. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. The [Low Tyre Pressure] warning does not appear if the low tyre pressure warning light illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.

  • If the light does not illuminate with the power switch placed in the ON position, have the vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop as soon as possible.

  • If the 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 the light still illuminates while driving after adjusting the tyre pressure, a tyre may be flat or the TPMS may be malfunctioning. If you have a flat tyre, repair it with an emergency tyre puncture repair kit as soon as possible. If no tyre is flat and all tyres are properly inflated, have the vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

  • 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.

  • The TPMS is not a substitute for the regular tyre pressure check. Be sure to check the tyre pressure regularly.

  • If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less than 25 km/h (16 MPH), the TPMS may not operate correctly.

  • Be sure to install the specified size of tyres to the four wheels correctly.
