What is the symbol for the tire pressure monitoring button?
2 Answers
Tire pressure monitoring button is the 'set' button, which can display tire pressure information on the central dashboard screen. The functions of tire pressure monitoring are: 1. Alerting promptly in cases of rapid or slow air leakage when tires are punctured; 2. Warning when tire loosening causes uneven friction leading to high temperatures reaching 70°C to prevent blowouts; 3. Notifying when tire pressure falls below the vehicle's preset threshold due to prolonged underinflation, preventing low-pressure induced temperature rise and blowouts. The tire pressure monitoring reset procedure is: 1. Verify tire pressure is within normal range; 2. Park the vehicle on level ground and turn off the engine; 3. Power on the vehicle, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button for 5 seconds until an alarm sounds, then release to complete reset.
The symbol for the tire pressure monitoring button is generally a tire icon with a small exclamation mark in the middle, resembling a flat circle with a horizontal bar or a question mark-shaped indicator inside. It is usually located on the control panel near the steering wheel or on the dashboard of the center console. Having driven for over ten years, I often encounter situations where the tire pressure light comes on, and I need to find this button to press and reset the system. Its function is crucial—it allows the car to recalibrate the tire pressure status to prevent false alarms. Low tire pressure is highly hazardous, leading to faster tire wear, increased fuel consumption, and even blowouts or accidents during high-speed driving. It’s recommended to check tire pressure monthly using a standard pressure gauge. Developing this habit not only saves hassle but also extends tire lifespan and enhances driving safety. In short, the symbol is designed to be eye-catching to remind us to stay vigilant.
