What to Do When Vehicle Tire Pressure is Too Low?
1 Answers
Tire pressure that is too low can be addressed in two ways: 1. If the vehicle can still be driven, proceed to the nearest tire repair shop for assistance. 2. If the tire pressure is too low to drive, use an onboard air pump to inflate the tire slightly before heading to the nearest repair shop, or replace it with a spare tire and then go for repairs. Below are some tips for checking tire pressure: 1. Inspect the tire condition before setting off. 2. While driving, listen for any unusual friction sounds between the tires and the road, pay attention to the cushioning effect when driving over surfaces, and check if acceleration feels different than usual. 3. Under normal circumstances, have the tire pressure checked and topped up at a professional tire repair shop every week. Note: Generally, it is recommended to check tire pressure at least once a month. Adjust tire pressure with each seasonal change, with ideal adjustment times being November and May. In November, as winter approaches, tire pressure usually drops and should be slightly adjusted. In May, as the weather starts to heat up, check if the pressure is normal. Importantly, if the tire pressure is not significantly above the standard range, avoid deliberately lowering it.
