Dashboard warning lights provide helpful safety alerts to drivers. Not everyone is familiar with all the lights, and some may prove surprising when they appear. The tire pressure light may come on without warning or any expectation. What could the light indicate?

The warning light reveals critical information: one or more tire's air pressure dropped too low. Low air pressure creates a hazardous condition, as the handling gets compromised, risks of a blowout increase, and other dangers may be present.

Reasons for low air pressure vary. Tires naturally lose a small amount of air every month, and the losses add up. The weather could cause a significant drop in air pressures, as well. Of course, punctures and other types of damage could lead to pressure loss. Driving around on tires with low pressure could damage them worse.

Don't drive around Reno on damaged or worn tires. Set up an appointment at Dolan Lexus for tire inspections, repairs, or replacements.
