What to Do When the Tire Pressure Indicator Light Comes On in a Car
1 Answers
When the tire pressure indicator light comes on in a car, you need to stop immediately. This light usually indicates insufficient pressure in one of the tires. Low tire pressure can damage the tire and also increase the risk of a blowout. Therefore, it is necessary to stop and check to determine if it is a tire pressure issue. The "exclamation mark in parentheses" is the symbol for the tire pressure warning light. This indicator displays the tire pressure status of the vehicle, primarily in yellow. The function of the tire pressure indicator is to monitor the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alert the driver to leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. When the tire pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, increasing the pressure on the tire and affecting its grip.
