Can You Still Drive with a Tire Pressure Monitoring Fault?
1 Answers
Tire pressure monitoring alarm still allows driving, but high-speed driving should be avoided, and the speed should be kept as slow as possible. Find a place to stop and check the cause as soon as possible. Below are the relevant details: 1. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time during driving and alerts for tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. 2. Excessive tire pressure reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, significantly increasing the pressure and wear per unit area, which can lead to loss of braking control and potential blowouts when encountering road protrusions or depressions. Insufficient tire pressure increases the contact area with the ground, causing abnormal temperature rise inside the tire during driving. Severe deformation of the tire sidewall accelerates aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, increasing the risk of blowouts, while also raising fuel consumption and reducing tire lifespan.
