Tire Pressure Warning Light

We recommend that you check your tire pressure on a frequent basis during the winter months, as well as whenever your TPMS indicator illuminates on your dashboard. When temperatures are extreme, it’s a good idea to get into the habit of monitoring the pressure at least once a month or each morning before you leave for the day. The TPMS light will usually illuminate in the morning when temperatures are at their lowest. Even if your light goes out, it’s a good idea to check and fill up even if the temperature rises.

Maintaining the proper PSI level benefits your safety, tire health, and gas mileage. For each PSI drop in pressure across all four of your tires, incorrect tire pressure can reduce your gas mileage by approximately 0.3 percent. If your tires are properly inflated, you can increase your gas mileage by 3.3 percent.

If you have a car that was made in the last five years, the TPMS indicator may not notify you until your tires are considerably under-inflated. We recommend that you keep attentive, check your tires periodically, and be prepared to fill up when necessary, especially during extreme weather or temperature changes.
