What does 'Tire Pressure Loss, Please Stop Carefully' mean?
2 Answers
It indicates that the tire pressure of the vehicle has encountered an issue, possibly a decrease, requiring immediate inspection. The vehicle should be safely pulled over to the side of the road at a reduced speed to check for any air leaks and to inspect whether the wheel rims or hubs are damaged. Below are relevant details: 1. Importance of Tires: The tires of a vehicle are a crucial component, directly contacting the road surface and, together with the suspension, bearing the weight of the vehicle. Well-maintained vehicle tires ensure good ride comfort and smooth driving, guarantee excellent adhesion between the tires and the road, and enhance the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability. 2. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Insufficient pressure increases tire body deformation, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements that lead to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord fabric layer, and breakage of the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, hastening wear on the tire shoulders.
A few days ago, I also experienced a situation where my tire was flat. This warning means that when the tire pressure is insufficient, you must immediately slow down and find a safe place to stop. Otherwise, the car may lose control, especially during high-speed driving, as a tire blowout is extremely dangerous. I think you should hold the steering wheel steady without making sudden turns, gently apply the brakes to slow down gradually to a safe area by the roadside, such as pulling over to the emergency lane. Afterward, you should check if there's a leak or a puncture, like a nail, and promptly change to the spare tire or call for assistance. Don't stubbornly keep driving, as it could damage the wheel rim or even cause an accident. I recommend developing a habit of regularly checking tire pressure to ensure it meets the standard and avoid problems.
