Should I go to the 4S shop if the tire pressure warning appears after driving a new car for a month?

If the tire pressure warning appears after driving a new car for a month, you don't need to go to the 4S shop. When the owner is driving the vehicle and finds a tire pressure warning on the dashboard, they should promptly pull over to a safe place and park, and place a yellow triangle stand behind the vehicle to alert other vehicles. If the vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, the tires should be checked. Tire pressure monitoring is the real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle driving, and it alerts the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is sent from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, and then the tire pressure data for each tire is displayed. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system will automatically issue a warning. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure of a tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle will cause the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speed between the tires, the purpose of monitoring tire pressure is achieved. The indirect tire warning system actually relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the above two systems, equipping direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only a direct system, this composite system can reduce costs and overcome the defect of the indirect system being unable to detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of the actual pressure in all four tires like the direct system.
