A Tire Pressure Monitor, also known as a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), is a safety device designed to continuously monitor the air pressure inside your vehicle’s tires and alert you when the pressure drops below the recommended level. It helps ensure that your tires are properly inflated, which is crucial for safe driving, fuel efficiency, and extending tire life. The system typically uses sensors mounted inside the tire or on the valve stem to transmit real-time pressure data to a display on the vehicle’s dashboard. When tire pressure falls too low or becomes uneven, the TPMS triggers a warning light or alert to notify the driver. Some advanced systems also display the exact pressure of each tire, allowing for more precise maintenance. By preventing underinflation or overinflation, a Tire Pressure Monitor enhances road safety, reduces the risk of blowouts, and contributes to better vehicle performance.
