How to Check Tire Pressure on Your Nissan Altima SV
Check cold (parked 3+ hours). The 2019+ Altima (L34 generation) includes Nissan's Easy-Fill Tire Alert: with the ignition ON, fill the tire and the exterior lights flash while filling — the horn beeps once when you reach the correct pressure (three hazard flashes plus another beep means over-inflated; let air out). This feature alone gets you to the door-jamb spec even without a gauge.

Does tire pressure change with temperature?
Yes. For every 10°F drop in outside temperature, your tire pressure drops about 1 PSI. This is why TPMS warning lights often come on during the first cold snap of autumn. The opposite is also true — tire pressure increases about 1 PSI per 10°F temperature rise. Always inflate to the recommended 33 PSI when tires are cold.
