The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The TPMS is a safety feature that monitors the air pressure in each tire. If the pressure in any tire drops below a certain level, the TPMS will alert the driver with a warning light on the dashboard.
The TPMS is required by law on all new vehicles sold in the United States. It is designed to help prevent accidents by warning drivers of low tire pressure, which can lead to tire blowouts and other dangerous situations.
