Low Tire Pressure Warning Light

Ever wonder why your tires are losing air?

Tires can lose air for several reasons, including: a loss value stem, tire damage, a puncture or temperature changes.

As temperatures drop with the approach of winter in Chicago and the Midwest suburbs, you may notice a low tire pressure warning light – also known as the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light – on your dashboard. This yellow or amber warning light indicates that one or more of your tires may need air or possibly even service.

Low tire pressure can create unsafe driving conditions, reduce fuel efficiency, and cause tire damage. Tire pressure naturally fluctuates with changing temperatures, air leaks, and general wear over time.

Since checking and adjusting tire pressure may feel daunting, it’s a good time to schedule a service visit with Patrick Hyundai Our certified advisors and technicians are here to make sure your tires are properly inflated and ready for the winter months ahead, so you can drive with confidence and peace of mind.

Key points about tire pressure and temperature:

• Air contraction: When the temperature drops, the air inside the tire contracts, leading to lower pressure.
• Impact on driving: Low tire pressure due to cold weather can affect traction, fuel efficiency, and tire lifespan.
• Checking tire pressure: It’s important to regularly check your tire pressure, especially during colder months, to ensure they are inflated to the recommended level.
