TPMS Light

The TPMS system is an electronic monitoring system your vehicle has to monitor the air pressure in your tires. This system will notify the driver if it senses that one or more of your tires is either under or overinflated. Under or over inflation can lead to tire failure, undue tire wear, and reduced gas mileage. Keeping your tires properly inflated will improve and maintain vehicle handling, tire performance and longevity, and load bearing capability. If you’re experiencing problems with your TPMS light, the expert technicians at our Kia repair center in Fredericksburg can take a look at your tires and help you with the problem!

In the event that your TPMS light comes on, do not panic. Your vehicle is just letting you know that one or more of your tires needs to be inspected. Remember that your TPMS system is not a replacement for regularly checking your tire pressure. Also, if you have a vehicle with a spare tire, you should check the inflation of that tire every time that you check your other tires. While some TPMS systems monitor the condition of the spare, many do not. Check your owner’s manual for information about your spare tire, including the proper inflation level.
