From Nissannews.com:
As National Tire Safety Week kicks-off across the country, today Nissan confirmed plans to make the "Easy-Fill Tire Alert" system available on all future models it brings to market beginning in 2013. This safety feature, which also bolsters fuel economy, is one of the automaker's latest innovations. It currently comes standard on all 2013 Nissan Altima, 2012 Nissan LEAF, and 2012 Nissan Quest models with standard or optional availability on more products to follow later this year as the automaker continues its launch of five all-new models in the next 15 months.
The "Easy-Fill Tire Alert" system is an all-new control module currently being phased into vehicle redesigns like that all-new 2013 Nissan Altima. First, the vehicle's tire-pressure warning system alerts a driver to a low tire; and on some models displays the current pressure and tire or tires that require attention on the dashboard display. When alerted, drivers should stop at the nearest gas station to fill the tire with an available air hose. Once air begins flowing into the tire, the vehicle's four-way flashers come on to confirm the process has started. When the tire hits the appropriate pressure level, the horn then chirps to let drivers know the tire has been properly inflated. If the driver continues to fill the tire with air, the horn honks more aggressively to indicate over inflation. Once air is let out of the tire, the horn chirps once to indicate the correct pressure has been reached.
"Nissan's 'Easy-Fill Tire Alert' system is straight forward and eliminates the need to keep a tire gauge in your vehicle's glove compartment," said Pierre Loin, vice president, Product Planning, Nissan North America, Inc. "By making this unique Nissan innovation available on all our future products, the guessing and the gauge vanish for our customers."
