Is Your Tire Pressure Light On? Here's What To Do

Why Tire Pressure Matters
- Safety First: Underinflated tires can overheat and increase your risk of an accident.
- Save Money: Proper inflation improves gas mileage and extends the life of your tires.
- Better Handling: Correct pressure ensures optimal grip and control.
What to Do When the Light Comes On
- Don't Panic: Pull over safely and visually inspect your tires.
- Check the Pressure: Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire. Consult your owner's manual or the sticker on your driver's side doorjamb for the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch).

- Check for Leaks: If a tire is losing pressure rapidly, you may have a puncture.
