What is the car tire pressure warning symbol?
1 Answers
The car tire pressure warning symbol is an exclamation mark inside an irregular arc. Here are the reasons why the tire pressure warning light comes on: 1. Tire pressure monitoring light due to a punctured tire: This situation usually involves very slow air leakage, making it difficult to immediately identify which tire is losing pressure. In this case, a tire pressure gauge can be used to measure the pressure. 2. Tire pressure monitoring light due to prolonged driving with low tire pressure: This typically occurs when one tire has significantly low pressure, causing the tire temperature to rise during high-speed driving, which in turn increases the tire pressure. In such cases, it is advisable to stop and rest or replace the tire with a spare. 3. Tire pressure monitoring light due to prolonged underinflation: When the tire pressure drops below 1.8 bar, the tire pressure warning light will come on. Therefore, regular checks should be performed to ensure the tire pressure monitor is functioning properly. If the tire pressure monitor fails to alert you in time when an issue arises, it may indicate a problem with the monitor itself.
