Tire Pressure Monitoring System and Tire Health for Drivers

TPMS Light on Dash

Keeping up with your tireā€™s maintenance and making sure theyā€™re up to speed is one of the most important auto maintenance steps you can take. A safety feature that helps alert you is the TPMS, but not many people know what this means. It stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System, and this is a feature that notifies you when your vehicleā€™s tire pressure is low.

Knowing what a TPMS does can help prevent tire ruptures and dangerous accidents while youā€™re driving on the roads of El Paso. Contact us today for more information or schedule a service appointment with our service center, and our technicians will check your tires today.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System Features

When the little orange light comes on your dash that indicates when youā€™re tire pressure is low, thatā€™s the tire pressure monitoring system at work. It comes on when the tire pressure falls under the tireā€™s PSI, or Pounds Per Square Inch. If you notice that this light comes one, fill it up soon in order to prevent the following accidents:

  • Poor traction
  • Decreased load carrying capability
  • A flat tire or blowout
  • Poor fuel economy

Filling up your tires to the appropriate PSI can not only help prevent accidents and costly tire replacements but increased fuel economy, and more!

Proper Tire Inflation

When the Tire Pressure Monitoring System comes on, you can fill it up at the nearest gas station with air pumps or take it to our service center near Las Cruces for maintenance. When you fill up your tires with the right PSI, you can expect the following benefits:

  • Reduce tread movement thereby increasing the life of the tire
  • Reduce rolling resistance which will increase vehicle efficiency
  • Increase water dispersion which decreases the likelihood of hydroplaning
