When to use the TPMS light on your tires?
The purpose of the TPMS is to notify the driver whenever one or more tires has low air pressure in them. For instance, let’s say you’re driving over a speed bump too quickly. It could knock some of the air out of your tires. If the tire pressure gets too low, then a TPMS light will illuminate on the dashboard to notify you of this.

How does a low tire pressure light work?
The TPMS (or Tire Pressure Monitoring System) uses sensors on the vehicle to determine when a tire has low pressure and alerts the driver with a warning light so the tires can be checked out.
