What to Do When Tire Pressure Warning Keeps Showing?

Tire pressure warning first find a safe place to park, then check the tire for damage. Direct-type tire pressure monitors can continuously monitor the tire pressure value. If the pressure drop is not significant, you can continue driving slowly to the nearest repair point for maintenance. If the tire pressure drops rapidly, you must replace the spare tire before continuing to drive. Below is an introduction to standard car tire pressure: 1. The front tire pressure when unloaded is between 2.2 to 2.3 bar, and when fully loaded, it is between 2.4 to 2.5 bar. 2. The rear tire pressure when unloaded is between 2.4 to 2.5 bar, and when fully loaded, it is between 2.6 to 2.8 bar.
I've been driving long distances for over a decade, and the tire pressure warning keeps popping up, which is really annoying. It's mostly due to low tire pressure or a system glitch. There might be a small puncture causing a slow leak, or the battery in the tire pressure monitoring sensor might be dead—new cars often experience this after a few years. Don’t panic. I usually use a cheap tire pressure gauge at gas stations to check each tire's pressure. The standard values are listed on the door frame. After inflating, try driving again. If the warning persists, manually reset the system—the steps are in the user manual. Safety comes first. Incorrect tire pressure wastes fuel and is dangerous, especially when braking in the rain. During regular maintenance, I always ask the mechanic to check the sensors and tire valves to prevent serious issues.
