What does the tire inflation alert mean?
1 Answers
Tire pressure sensors detect that the air pressure in a certain tire is low, prompting a check on tire pressure. The vehicle owner needs to promptly refill the air pressure. Below are specific details about tire pressure: 1. Effects of low tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, causing abnormal temperature rises inside the tire during driving. Additionally, severe deformation of the tire sidewalls accelerates the aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, creating a hidden risk of tire blowouts. It also increases fuel consumption and reduces tire lifespan. 2. Effects of high tire pressure: High tire pressure reduces the tire's friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance. It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort. It also accelerates localized wear on the central tread pattern, further shortening the tire's lifespan.
