TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

UNDERSTANDING TPMS: YOUR TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an essential safety feature that alerts the driver when any of the vehicle's tyres are under-inflated. Instead of manually checking with a gauge, TPMS continuously monitors tyre pressure and notifies the driver with an illuminated symbol on the dashboard if there's an issue.

HOW DOES TPMS WORK?

TPMS uses advanced technology on each wheel to provide real-time, accurate tyre pressure and temperature readings directly to the driver. This information is displayed on a compact screen, with safe pressures shown in green. If the pressure or temperature reaches unsafe levels, the display changes to red, alerting the driver immediately. Drivers can view this data at any time or set it as a 'pre-flight check' to ensure safety before setting off. If you're unsure of your tyre's optimal pressure, our tyre pressure guide is a handy resource.

BENEFITS OF USING TPMS

Maintaining correct tyre pressure is crucial for safety, tyre longevity, and fuel efficiency. Early detection of pressure loss allows you to get your tyres checked at your local Kennings centre before any significant damage occurs, saving both time and money. Beyond financial savings, maintaining optimal tyre pressure enhances road safety, improves handling, and reduces fuel consumption, which in turn lowers emissions—helping you contribute to a smaller carbon footprint.
