Can I still drive if the tire pressure warning light is on?

The tire pressure warning light indicates that you should not continue driving. If the tire pressure warning light comes on while driving, remain calm, immediately reduce your speed, avoid sudden steering or hard braking, and check the tires right away. If you have a portable inflator or tire pressure gauge, you can pull over to the side of the road to measure and adjust the pressure in each tire. If not, drive slowly to the nearest auto repair shop or 4S store. The tire pressure warning light usually comes on due to one of the following reasons: 1. A punctured tire; 2. Excessive tire pressure; 3. Driving with low tire pressure for too long; 4. Tire pressure dropping due to prolonged lack of inflation. Therefore, when the tire pressure warning light comes on, do not rush to reset it. Instead, carefully check for possible causes of the issue. Only after confirming that there is no tire malfunction should you reset the tire pressure indicator, as this is the safest and most prudent approach.
