What Does It Mean When a Volvo Displays Low Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
When a Volvo displays low tire pressure, it indicates that one of the vehicle's tires is lacking sufficient air pressure. At this point, the vehicle should not continue to be driven. It is necessary to inspect the vehicle's tires and replenish the tire pressure of the underinflated tire to the normal value before the vehicle can be used normally. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: The road friction coefficient will increase, leading to higher fuel consumption; the friction between the tire and the ground multiplies, causing the tire temperature to rise sharply, the tire to soften, and its strength to drop drastically. If the vehicle is driven at high speeds, this may result in a tire blowout. Causes of Low Tire Pressure: Thermal expansion and contraction due to low temperatures; air leakage from the tire; possible debris in the tire or improper installation of the tire edge with the wheel hub, leading to poor tire sealing.
