Tire Pressure Monitor
A Tire Pressure Monitor is a device that helps keep track of the air pressure in a vehicle's tires. It alerts the driver when the pressure is too low or too high, which can affect safety and fuel efficiency. Maintaining proper tire pressure can extend the life of the tires and improve handling.
These monitors can be either direct or indirect. Direct systems use sensors inside each tire to measure pressure, while indirect systems estimate pressure based on wheel speed and other factors. Regularly checking tire pressure is essential for safe driving and optimal vehicle performance.
