Nissan Pathfinder: Road Wheels & Tires - Precautions

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of collisions.

Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” sections of this Service Manual.

WARNING:

Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should contact the electrical medical equipment manufacturer for the possible influences before use.

CAUTION:

For ID registration, refer to Description.

• Low tire pressure warning lamp blinks for 1 minute, then turns ON when any malfunction occurs except low tire pressure. Erase the self-diagnosis memories for Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), or register the ID to turn low tire pressure warning lamp OFF.

• ID registration is required when replacing or rotating wheels, replacing tire pressure sensor or BCM.

• For easy fill tire alert function, refer to the following.

  • When inflating the tires, park the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle in the safe area and ensure the safety of the working area.

  • Read and understand the easy fill tire alert function prior to use.

  • Inflate the tires one at a time.

  • If there is no response for approximately 15 seconds or more after inflating the tires, cancel the use of the easy fill tire alert function or move the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle approximately 1 m (3.2 ft) backward or forward to try again. The air filler pressure may be weak or out of service area.

  • Despite the high-precision TPMS pressure sensor, an indicated value may differ from that of the pressure gauge.

  • Air pressure is measured rather high due to the rise in tire air temperature after driving.

  • If TPMS is malfunctioning, the easy fill tire alert is unusable.

• Replace the screw, the tire pressure sensor, the valve, the valve core, and the valve cap as a set when replacing each tire. Refer to Removal and Installation.

• Do not apply excessive force to the valve and tire pressure sensor when adjusting tire pressure.

• Because the tire pressure sensor conforms to North America radio law, the following items must be observed.

  • The sensor may be used only in North America.

  • It may not be used in any method other than the specified method.

  • It must not be disassembled or modified.

• Do not install a tire pressure sensor from other cars. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) does not function if the specified Genuine NISSAN tire pressure sensor is not installed.

Service Notice and Precautions for Road Wheel

• Genuine NISSAN wheel is designed for each type of vehicle. Use it on the specified vehicle only.

• Use Genuine NISSAN parts for the wheels, valve caps and wheel nuts.

• Always balance the wheels prior to using them. For the balance weights, use Genuine NISSAN wheel weights.

• Use caution when handling the wheels because they can be easily scratched. When removing dirt do not use any abrasives, a wire brush, or other items that may scratch the coating. Use a neutral detergent if a detergent is needed.

• After driving on roads scattered with anti-icing salts, wash off the wheels completely.

• When installing wheels onto the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle, always wipe off any dirt or foreign substances to prevent them from being trapped between the contact surfaces of wheel.

• Do not apply oil to nut and bolt threads.

• When tightening the valve cap there is a risk of damaging the valve cap if a tool is used. Tighten by hand.
