What indicator light comes on when tire pressure is low?
1 Answers
When the tire pressure in a car is low, the tire pressure warning indicator light will illuminate. Whenever there is a change in the tire pressure, the tire pressure warning light will come on. In such cases, it is recommended to pull over safely and check the tires. If you have a tire pressure monitoring tool, you can check the pressure of all tires to ensure they are within the normal range. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more prone to punctures, leading to internal cracks or blowouts. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, posing safety risks; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; Reduces the effectiveness of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to blowouts; Increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and generating flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
