What does the car tire warning indicate?

Tire pressure issues require prompt adjustment. Below is relevant information about the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): 1. Introduction: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System is abbreviated as "TPMS". 2. Types: One is the indirect TPMS, which detects tire abnormalities through differences in tire rotation speed; the other is the direct TPMS, which involves installing four tire pressure monitoring sensors inside the tires. This system automatically monitors tire pressure and temperature in real-time, whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, and provides timely alerts for high pressure, low pressure, or high temperature to prevent traffic accidents caused by tire failures, ensuring driving safety.
The tire pressure warning light is on, and I really hate this. Last time I was driving, it suddenly started flashing, which made me panic. This usually indicates a tire pressure issue, possibly due to a leak, underinflation, or overinflation in one of the tires, detected by the system. If you ignore it, handling will deteriorate, braking distance will increase, and it may even lead to a dangerous blowout, especially on the highway. I suggest finding a safe place to pull over immediately and checking if any tire has a puncture or is visibly flat. Make it a habit to regularly measure the pressure of all four tires with a tire pressure gauge and keep it within the manufacturer's recommended range. Sometimes, the tire pressure sensors may give false alarms, such as when temperature changes affect the readings, but don't take it lightly—address the issue before hitting the road again.
