How to Check the Tyre Pressures on Your Nissan Pathfinder

Although the new Nissan Pathfinder for sale is offered with a plethora of safety gear, this can be negated if your tyres are not at the correct pressure. Correct tyre pressures not only help to keep your new Nissan Pathfinder rolling through the turns, stops, and starts, but will also boost fuel economy. Unfortunately, many drivers still find correctly checking their tyre pressures to be a daunting prospect, which can lead to a shorter tyre lifespan and potentially compromised vehicle safety. So, here is a guide to help you check your tyre pressures with confidence.

Automatic Systems:

Most forecourts have automatic systems to inflate the tyres on your Nissan Pathfinder. These are remarkably easy to use. You simply preset your desired pressure, then connect the hose. The machine will beep when the correct tyre pressure is reached.

The difficulty with this type of system is setting the correct pressure. Again, this is actually easier than it seems. The correct tyre pressures are printed on a placard inside the door jamb, or there is a chart inside your owner’s manual. There are usually a few possibilities listed, so you will need to choose the most appropriate. So, if you are planning a long trip with a full complement of passengers and luggage, you’ll need to choose the fully laden pressure.

Traditional Systems:

Traditional inflators can appear a little more daunting. They usually have a gauge that appears very complicated. However, they are still fairly easy to use. Attach the hose as you would with an automatic inflator. You will need to watch the rotating needle or sliding bar and squeeze the trigger to add air to your tyres. Many drivers worry about over inflating, but most devices have a small button to release excess pressure, or you can partly depress the trigger. Unfortunately, manual inflators only provide an accurate pressure reading after you’ve added air, so you may need to quickly fully press the trigger to get a reading after you’ve released some air.
