Tire pressure (TPMS) warning light

One or more tires are significantly under-inflated. A flashing light at start-up that then stays on usually means a TPMS system fault.

UrgencyModerate

Can I keep driving? Drivable with care. Diagnose soon: performance, economy or other components can be affected.

What to do

  1. Check all tire pressures with a gauge when the tires are cold.
  2. Inflate to the pressures on the door-jamb placard, not the maximum on the tire.
  3. Inspect for nails or damage if one tire keeps losing pressure.

Symbols and colours vary between manufacturers. Your owner's manual shows the exact symbols used in your car. In general, red means stop or act now, amber/yellow means check soon, and green/blue lights are information only.
