What does 'Check Tire Pressure' mean?
1 Answers
Check Tire Pressure indicates that one or more tires have insufficient or excessive air pressure. This is a tire pressure alarm triggered by abnormal tire pressure in vehicles equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system. You should immediately stop and check to ensure driving safety. Under-inflated or over-inflated tires can lead to abnormal tire wear, shorten tire lifespan, increase fuel consumption, and even raise the risk of a blowout. Tires are typically mounted on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body, cushioning external impacts, maintaining contact with the road, and ensuring driving performance. Tires often operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and temperature extremes during driving. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties.
