Do You Know What This Sign Means?



Do you recognize the symbol here?

It lights up in your instrument panel and looks like a
U-shaped pictograph with treads and an exclamation point in the middle.




Do you understand what it means now?

If you guessed a low tire-pressure warning, you are right. If you didn’t recognize the symbol, that’s also understandable because one out of three drivers do not, according to Schrader, a company that makes tire pressure monitoring systems.

The warning for the TPMS lights up when one or more of your vehicle’s tires is 25% below the manufacturer’s recommended pressure. The system is now required on all vehicles starting with the 2008 model year.
