Can You Still Drive When the Tire Pressure Warning Light Comes On?

If the yellow tire pressure warning light is illuminated, it indicates abnormal tire pressure in the car's tires. However, the vehicle can still be driven, though it is best not to undertake long-distance driving under high-temperature conditions. Below is more information about tire pressure monitoring: 1. Mainstream tire pressure monitoring is primarily divided into two types: direct tire pressure monitoring (referred to as PSB) and indirect (passive) tire pressure monitoring (referred to as WSB). As the names suggest, the differences between the two are quite intuitive. Direct tire pressure monitoring involves installing sensors on each wheel to directly monitor tire pressure. It is a system that uses wireless transmitters to send pressure information from the tires to a central receiver module, allowing real-time and direct viewing of tire pressure data. 2. Indirect tire pressure monitoring, on the other hand, does not provide direct access to accurate data and only serves as a reminder. The principle of indirect tire pressure monitoring is: when tire pressure decreases, the weight of the car causes the tire's radius to shrink, leading to faster rotation compared to other wheels. Technicians then preset a value for the vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system. When the tire pressure deviates too much from this value, the system issues a warning to achieve monitoring purposes. Currently, most German cars are equipped with indirect tire pressure monitoring. There is also a less common type known as composite tire pressure monitoring.
