Why does the car tire pressure warning light come on?
1 Answers
When the car tire pressure warning light comes on, it indicates a fault with the car tires. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. The car may have run over hard objects such as nails or broken glass during driving. 2. Air pressure is crucial for tires; both excessively high and low pressure can shorten the tire's lifespan. Over-inflation can cause excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity. Under-inflation increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the tire sidewalls and generating flexing movements, which cause excessive heat and accelerate tire aging. 3. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light comes on during driving, it means the vehicle has been driving with low pressure for some time. In this situation, remain calm, reduce speed, and avoid sharp steering or sudden braking.
