WARNING - Low Tire Pressure
- Significantly low tire pressure makes the vehicle unstable and may contribute to loss of vehicle control and increased braking distances.
- Continuing to drive on tires with low tire pressure may cause the tires to overheat and fail, which may lead to an accident.
The TPMS cannot warn you of serious and sudden tire damage caused by external factors.
If you notice the vehicle becoming unstable, immediately release the accelerator pedal, gently apply the brake pedal with light force, and slowly move the vehicle to a safe place off the road.
