You may have already experienced the Tire Pressure Warning Light that typically comes on at this time of year. With the first really chilly days, you get a warning on your instrument panel about low tire pressure. There's no need to be alarmed, but you do need to get your tires properly inflated at the first opportunity. It's simply that when the air gets cooled, its pressure also gets lower. It happens every fall.
Driving on under-inflated tires increases wear on tires and can make the vehicle harder to control when you turn, and can also make braking more difficult.
To find out the proper air pressure you should put in your tires, the only place to look is on the driver's door jamb, where it will tell you the proper air pressure for front, rear, and spare tire (if you have a spare). Just top up the air, recalibrate the system (see video) and you'll be good to go for the rest of the season. In the event that the light reappears after you've reinflated the tires, it's time to get your tires inspected by the pros at Conicelli Hyundai. Call 610-832-7911 or make your appointment online.
