What Causes the Tire Pressure Warning in the Tiguan?

[DelLucille]

The tire pressure warning light in the Volkswagen Tiguan illuminates when there is abnormal tire pressure, either too high or too low. What to do if tire pressure is insufficient: If no damage is visible on the car's tires, simply inflate them to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If inspection reveals a puncture, drive to a repair shop immediately for a patch, then reinflate the tire. If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect and replace the wheel rim. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. Sharp objects like nails or glass can easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, or even tire bursts.
