What to Do When the Tire Pressure Warning Light Comes On
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light on your vehicle is a vital tool for tire health and safety. At Marein International, we know how important this light is and how it impacts your drive.
Understanding Tire Pressure Warnings
Over time, tires lose air naturally, and temperature shifts can also affect pressure. This slow air loss increases risks like faster tire wear, reduced traction, and lower fuel efficiency.
What the TPMS Light Means
The TPMS light, shown as a tire cross-section with an exclamation mark, signals pressure issues. Here’s how to interpret it:
- Steady Light: Indicates low or high pressure; adjust promptly.
- Intermittent Light: Often caused by temperature changes; check the pressure periodically.
- Flashing Followed by Steady Light: Signals a TPMS system issue; consult a mechanic.
Manual Tire Pressure Checks Are Key
Even with TPMS, manual checks are essential for precise readings and to catch any sensor issues. Use a reliable gauge and check your vehicle’s recommended pressure values to keep your car safe and tires durable. At Marein International, we prioritize your safety with trusted advice and expert vehicle safety accessories to ensure a smoother, safer journey.
