ACTION REQUIRED
Tyre Pressure / TPMS Warning
Can I keep driving?Only far enough to stop somewhere safe and check the tyres.
Reduce speed, avoid sudden braking or steering, and stop somewhere safe to inspect the tyres and check their pressures.
What does it mean?
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System has detected low pressure in one or more tyres, or there may be a fault with the monitoring system itself.
What should I do?
- Reduce speed and avoid sudden braking or sharp steering.
- Stop somewhere safe.
- Visually inspect the tyres for obvious damage or a flat tyre.
- Check the tyre pressures using the manufacturer's recommended values.
- Inflate the tyres to the correct pressure if required.
- Reset or recalibrate the TPMS according to the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
- If the warning returns, a tyre continues losing pressure, or damage is visible, have the tyre inspected professionally.
- If the warning flashes for a period and then remains illuminated, consult the owner's manual because this can indicate a TPMS system fault.
Possible causes
- Low tyre pressure
- Puncture or slow air leak
- Tyre damage
- Significant temperature change
- TPMS sensor fault
- TPMS sensor battery failure
- TPMS calibration or reset required
- Wheel or tyre replacement affecting the monitoring system
