What does it mean when the tire pressure indicator light turns yellow?
1 Answers
The yellow tire pressure indicator light is a reminder to the vehicle owner that the air pressure in one of the tires is insufficient and needs to be replenished promptly. Once the normal air pressure value is reached, the yellow tire pressure light will turn off. Whenever there is a change in the tire pressure, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate, which can be due to either a problem with the tire or temperature effects. Insufficient tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to abnormal temperature rise inside the tire during driving. Additionally, severe deformation of the tire sidewall accelerates the aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, increasing the risk of a tire blowout. It also results in higher fuel consumption and reduced tire lifespan.
