Your tires are what keep your vehicle (and you) connected – safely – to the road. They’re like a good set of shoes and keeping those “shoes” in good condition is critical. Toyota has long pushed forward in the most effective safety technology, and its Tire Pressure Monitoring System is just one tool to keep you safer. Here’s what the service experts at Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA want you to know about your Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
The system features a tiny sensor in each tire that keeps track of the pressure inside. If any are underinflated or overinflated, you’ll be alerted so you can remedy the issue.
Why is this important? The right tire pressure not only improves traction (and therefore, safety) on the road, especially on wet or slippery roads. Additionally, properly inflated tires help improve your fuel efficiency. So, it’s more than worth it to take a moment to ensure they’re in peak condition.
Now there may be some times when your tire pressure warning light comes on, even though your tires seem to be properly inflated. So, what’s that about? A few things can trigger it, including rotating the tires, switching tire sizes, or changing the pressure. When that happens, try resetting your Tire Pressure Monitoring System manually.
First, double-check that your tires are properly inflated. Next, turn on the engine.
The reset button on most Toyota vehicles can be found low and to the right of the steering wheel; press and hold it. Wait for the TPMS indicator light to blink three times, as you hold the reset button. Let the engine run for several more minutes before turning it off.
When it comes to your tires, the service staff at Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield PA has you covered. Whether you need yours rotated and balanced, need new ones altogether, or need your TPMS looked at, you can count on them to help. And don’t forget – their expert service goes for every aspect of your Toyota vehicle!
