What to do in an emergency Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
-If the vehicle is overloaded
- If a spare tyre or snow chain is
installed
䳜 When filling tyres with more air,
conditions to turn off the low tyre
pressure telltale may not be met.
This is because a tyre inflator has
a margin of error in performance.
The low tyre pressure telltale will
be turned off if the tyre pressure
is above the recommended tyre
inflation pressure.
䳜 Driving with an under-inflated
tyre causes the tyre to overheat
and lead to tyre failure. It also
reduces tyre tread life, handling
of the vehicle, braking ability, and
fuel efficiency, causing instability
of the vehicle. In this case, contact
professional workshop to main
