What does it mean when the tire pressure yellow light is on?
1 Answers
Tire pressure yellow light on is a reminder that the air pressure in one of the vehicle's tires is insufficient, and the tire needs to be inflated in time. When the normal air pressure value is reached, the tire pressure yellow light will naturally be eliminated. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to become heavy and prone to deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the function of the cord and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; The friction between the tire and the ground increases exponentially, the tire temperature rises sharply, the tire becomes soft, and its strength drops sharply. High-speed driving may lead to a tire blowout; Increases the deformation of the tire body, making the tire side prone to cracking, and generates flexural movement, leading to excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, cord breakage, and also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulder.
