WARNING - Low tire pressure
- Significantly low tire pressure makes the vehicle unstable and can contribute
to loss of vehicle control and increased braking distances.
- Continued driving on low pressure tires will cause the tires to overheat
and fail.
- The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tire damage caused by external
factors.
- If you notice any vehicle instability, immediately take your foot off the
accelerator pedal, apply the brakes gradually with light force, and slowly move
to a safe position off the road.
