What Causes Low Tire Pressure in Volvo?

[OJulia]

Volvo displaying low tire pressure indicates a puncture and air leakage in the tire; it could also be a false alarm from the tire pressure monitor. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more prone to punctures, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, and potential tire bursts. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a tire burst; Increases tire deformation, making the tire side prone to cracks and generating flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, cord breakage, and increased tire contact area, accelerating shoulder wear.
