⚠️ Safety Warnings

Important safety information - read before proceeding

•Ensure tires are cold when checking pressure to get an accurate reading.
•If you notice any tire damage, do not drive the vehicle until the issue is resolved.

Symptoms

•Tire pressure warning light illuminated on the dashboard
•Low tire pressure in one or more tires
•Possible uneven tire wear
