WARNING
- Low tire pressure
- Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable
and can contribute to loss of
vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
- Continued driving on tires with
low tire pressure can cause the
tires to overheat and fail, which
may cause an accident.
The TPMS cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused by
external factors.
If you notice any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off the
accelerator pedal, apply the brakes
gradually with light force, and slowly
move to a safe position off the road.
