Safety and your vehicle
A tyre pressure warning light appears on your dashboard. What should you do?
- Ignore it, as tyre pressures never change
- Cover the light so it stops showing
- Check the tyre pressures and put them right as soon as you canCorrect
- Let more air out of all the tyres
Why?
This light warns that one or more tyres may be losing pressure, which affects grip, braking and fuel use. Annex 6 of The Highway Code says tyres must be correctly inflated, so check the pressures when the tyres are cold and correct them as soon as you can.
