What does checking tire pressure mean?
1 Answers
When the dashboard displays "check tire pressure," it is alerting the vehicle owner to inspect whether the tire pressure is abnormal. The functions of the tire pressure monitoring alarm are: 1. Prevent tire blowouts; 2. Save fuel by ensuring correct tire pressure to reduce vehicle fuel consumption; 3. Reduce wear, as insufficient pressure can cause excessive wear and shorten tire lifespan. Additional information about car tire pressure is as follows: 1. Overinflated tires reduce the contact area with the ground, decrease tire grip, extend braking distance, compromise driving safety, harden the tires, affect ride comfort, and impact the lifespan of other components. 2. Underinflated tires increase the contact area on both sides of the tire, raise fuel consumption, accelerate tire wear and shorten tire lifespan, and may cause the sidewall to bend or break.
