What does 'Please check TPMS' mean?

[AlexandraRose]

TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. If the dashboard displays 'Please check TPMS system', it may indicate abnormal tire pressure or a sensor malfunction. Tire pressure should neither be too high nor too low. If the pressure is too low, the tire may develop wave-like deformations during high-speed driving, increasing the risk of a blowout. Below are some relevant details about tires: 1. Check the tire's expiration date: The sidewall of the tire has a four-digit number indicating the manufacturing date, with the first two digits representing the week and the last two the year. Generally, tires should not be used for more than 3 years or exceed 60,000 kilometers. 2. Pay attention to the sidewall: As tire rubber ages, deep cracks may appear on the sidewall. However, as long as the sidewall hasn't been impacted and the cords are intact, the tire can still be used. The triangular mark on the sidewall helps locate a raised indicator in the tread grooves, which determines the tire's actual wear limit. That value should be greater than 1.6 millimeters.
