What to Do When the CRV Tire Pressure Light Comes On?
1 Answers
The tire pressure monitoring indicator light usually comes on under four circumstances: 1. A punctured tire causing the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate: This situation typically involves a very slow leak, making it difficult to immediately identify which tire is affected. In this case, you can use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure—2.3 for the front tires and 2.5 for the rear tires. If any tire is underinflated, refill it and then observe the tire pressure warning light. 2. Excessive tire pressure: When any tire exceeds 3.0 bar, it can trigger the tire pressure monitoring light. 3. Prolonged driving with low tire pressure causing the light to come on: If a tire is significantly underinflated, high-speed driving can raise the tire temperature, leading to increased pressure. In such cases, you should promptly pull over to rest or replace the tire with a spare. 4. Low tire pressure due to prolonged lack of inflation: When the pressure drops below 1.8 bar, the tire pressure monitoring light will activate. Therefore, regular checks should be conducted to ensure the tire pressure monitor is functioning properly.
