Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Owner's Manual: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Basic information

For optimal safety and performance of your Nissan Armada, each tire—including the spare tire (if equipped)—should be inspected at least once a month when cold and inflated according to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure values listed on the vehicle placard or tire pressure label. If your Nissan Armada is fitted with tires that differ in size from those specified, it is essential to determine and maintain the correct inflation pressure for those specific tires.

The Nissan Armada is equipped with an advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which continuously monitors tire pressure and alerts the driver when one or more tires become significantly under-inflated. When the low tire pressure warning indicator illuminates, you should safely stop your Nissan Armada as soon as possible and check all tires. Driving with under-inflated tires can lead to overheating, increased wear, reduced fuel efficiency, compromised handling, and in extreme cases, tire failure.

It is important to understand that the Nissan Armada TPMS is designed as an additional safety feature and does not replace regular tire maintenance. The driver remains responsible for ensuring that all tires are properly inflated, even if the system has not yet triggered a warning.

The Nissan Armada is also equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator that alerts you if the system itself is not functioning correctly. This indicator shares the same warning light as the low tire pressure alert.

If a malfunction is detected, the warning light will flash for approximately one minute and then remain steadily illuminated. This sequence will repeat each time the Nissan Armada is started until the issue is resolved. During a malfunction, the system may not accurately detect or warn of low tire pressure. Such issues may arise from factors such as installing incompatible tires or wheels that interfere with TPMS operation.

After replacing tires or wheels on your Nissan Armada, always verify that the TPMS warning light operates correctly to ensure continued system functionality.

Additional information

• The spare tire in the Nissan Armada is not equipped with a TPMS sensor; therefore, its pressure is not monitored by the system.
• The TPMS becomes active only when the Nissan Armada is driven at speeds exceeding 16 MPH (25 km/h). It may not immediately detect sudden pressure loss, such as during a rapid puncture.
• The low tire pressure warning light will not turn off automatically after adjusting tire pressure. Once the correct pressure is restored, the Nissan Armada must be driven above 16 MPH (25 km/h) for the system to reset. Always confirm pressure using a reliable tire gauge.
• The "Tire Pressure Low Add Air" message will appear on the Nissan Armada display when low pressure is detected. This message will remain visible each time the ignition is turned ON until the issue is corrected.
• The "Tire Pressure Low Add Air" notification will not be displayed if the warning light is indicating a TPMS system malfunction instead of low pressure.
• Tire pressure in the Nissan Armada may fluctuate due to temperature changes and heat generated during driving. Regular monitoring is essential to maintain proper performance and safety.

Maintaining proper tire pressure in your Nissan Armada not only improves safety but also enhances fuel efficiency, prolongs tire life, and ensures optimal driving stability under all conditions.

Do not reduce tire pressure immediately after driving your Nissan Armada, as tire pressure naturally increases due to heat generated during operation. Conversely, low ambient temperatures can reduce the air pressure inside the tires, potentially causing the tire pressure to drop below recommended levels.

This drop in pressure may trigger the low tire pressure warning light in your Nissan Armada. If the warning appears during cold weather conditions, carefully check the tire pressure in all four tires and adjust them as needed.

Changes in outside temperature may also cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate even if the pressure was previously set correctly. For accurate readings, always adjust tire pressure when the tires are cold, following the recommended specifications for your Nissan Armada.

You can conveniently monitor the tire pressure of all tires (except the spare) using the Nissan Armada vehicle information display, allowing for quick and efficient checks.

WARNING

• If the low tire pressure warning light comes on while driving your Nissan Armada, avoid sudden steering inputs or harsh braking. Gradually reduce speed, move to a safe location, and stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Driving with under-inflated tires can lead to overheating, tire damage, or even tire failure, significantly increasing the risk of accidents and serious injuries.

  After stopping, inspect all four tires and adjust the pressure to the recommended COLD values listed on the Tire and Loading Information label. If the warning light remains on after adjustment, a tire may be damaged or the TPMS system in your Nissan Armada may not be functioning correctly. Replace any damaged tire immediately or consult an authorized Nissan dealer.

• Because the spare tire in the Nissan Armada is not equipped with a TPMS sensor, installing the spare or replacing a wheel will cause the TPMS warning light to flash for approximately one minute and then remain illuminated. Have the system reset and proper tires installed as soon as possible. It is recommended to visit a Nissan Armada dealer for this service.
• Using tires that are not specified or approved for the Nissan Armada may negatively affect the operation of the TPMS system.
• Do not use liquid or aerosol tire sealants in the Nissan Armada tires, as these substances can damage the tire pressure sensors and lead to system malfunction.
• To reduce the risk of serious injury or fatal accidents, always check the tire pressure of all tires regularly. Driving a Nissan Armada with under-inflated tires can compromise vehicle stability, braking performance, and the functionality of other safety systems.

CAUTION

• The TPMS system in the Nissan Armada may not function correctly when tire chains are installed or when the wheels are covered by deep snow.
• Avoid installing metallic window films or attaching metal components (such as antennas) to the windows of your Nissan Armada, as these may interfere with the signal transmission from the tire pressure sensors and reduce TPMS accuracy.

Certain electronic devices and radio transmitters may temporarily interfere with the TPMS operation in your Nissan Armada, potentially causing the low tire pressure warning light to activate. Examples include:

• Nearby facilities or equipment operating on similar radio frequencies
• Transmitters used inside or close to the Nissan Armada
• Computers, power converters, or similar electronic devices operating near the vehicle

Understanding these conditions will help Nissan Armada drivers maintain accurate tire monitoring, avoid false warnings, and ensure maximum safety and performance during everyday driving.

The low tire pressure warning light in your Nissan Armada may illuminate under several specific conditions, even if there is no immediate tire failure. Understanding these scenarios will help you properly diagnose and maintain the Nissan Armada TPMS system.

• If your Nissan Armada is equipped with a wheel and tire assembly that does not include a TPMS sensor, the system will not be able to monitor pressure correctly and may trigger a warning.
• If the TPMS sensor has been replaced but its identification code has not been properly registered in the Nissan Armada system, the warning light may remain illuminated.
• If non-original or non-approved wheels are installed on your Nissan Armada, this may interfere with TPMS functionality and lead to inaccurate readings or warnings.

TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert

The Nissan Armada TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert is designed to simplify tire inflation by providing clear visual and audible signals outside the vehicle. This feature helps drivers inflate tires accurately to the recommended COLD tire pressure without constantly checking a gauge.

Vehicle set-up:

1. Park your Nissan Armada on a flat, stable surface in a safe location.

2. Engage the parking brake and shift the transmission into the P (Park) position.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position without starting the engine.

Operation:

1. Begin adding air to the tire of your Nissan Armada.

2. After a few seconds, the hazard lights will begin flashing, indicating that the system is actively monitoring tire pressure.

3. Once the correct pressure is reached, the horn will sound once and the hazard lights will stop flashing, confirming proper inflation.

4. Repeat this process for each tire on your Nissan Armada.

• If a tire is over-inflated by more than approximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the Nissan Armada system will alert you with three horn beeps and flashing hazard lights. To correct this, release air briefly from the valve stem until the correct pressure is achieved, at which point the horn will sound once.
• If the hazard lights do not begin flashing within approximately 15 seconds after inflation starts, this indicates that the Easy Fill Tire Alert system is not functioning properly in your Nissan Armada.
• The Easy Fill Tire Alert may not operate under the following conditions:
  • Interference from nearby electronic devices or transmitters
  • Insufficient air pressure from the inflation device
  • Use of electrical equipment inside or near the Nissan Armada
  • A malfunction in the TPMS system
  • A malfunction in the horn or hazard light system
• If interference prevents the Nissan Armada Easy Fill Tire Alert from working correctly, move the vehicle slightly forward or backward (approximately 1 meter) and try again.

If the Easy Fill Tire Alert system in your Nissan Armada does not function as expected, always use a reliable tire pressure gauge to ensure accurate inflation.

The Nissan Armada TPMS system is designed to enhance safety, improve tire longevity, and provide a more convenient maintenance experience for drivers.
