Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
A system that monitors and alerts drivers of low tire pressure.
TPMS sensors measure air pressure inside tires and transmit data to the dashboard. Maintaining correct pressure ensures safety, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity. There are direct and indirect systems. Faulty sensors can trigger warning lights. Reprogramming or recalibration is needed after tire changes.
