PSIs, over-inflation, under-inflation – does thinking about proper tire pressure make your head spin? For most drivers, this is a fact. But, not following your vehicle’s recommended inflation guide can lead to serious issues, like poor fuel economy or premature tire wear. Over time, these concerns can cost you a great deal.Â
This model is equipped with Nissan's Easy-Fill Tire Alert, which helps drivers quickly and conveniently fill their tires to the correct pressure without the need for a handheld device.
1.Apply the parking brake, put the vehicle in park, and turn the ignition to accessory mode (the engine should be turned off).
Â
2.Start filling a tire with air and wait for the exterior lights to flash, which indicates that the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is monitoring the change in air pressure.
Â
3.When the correct tire pressure is reached, the Altima’s horn will sound.
Â
4.If you accidentally over-inflated the tire, the horn will honk again and the hazard indicator will flash three times.
Â
Neat, right? The Altima’s Easy-Fill Tire Alert is another fine example of the many technologies that are part of the Nissan Intelligent Mobility vision and how cars are powered, driven and integrated into our society.
