Flat Tyre

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,
Im hoping you may be able to help me with this question....
If the tyre is experiencing a very low PSI or completely flat, is there any warning /indication symbol that can notify the driver from within the cabin? I ended up pulling over due to a slightly heavier pull on the steering to find that my back left tyre had died. Completely flat, and punctured during the trip.
Even though the car was no longer safe to drive, it handled itself quite well considering the damage. Should there be a warning signal on the dash?

You will only get a warning on the dash if you have the tyre pressure sensor option. It's part of a pack here, can't remember which one. If you don't have it then the only way you will know is by physically viewing the tyre.

Thanks for the high res file too
Best wishes

Thanks for that :thumbup:
I wasn't too sure as I never recall seeing any warning light In the dash. I assumed there would be something indicating a problem with the tyre only because the dealership had found a fault or puncture before I took delivery. He said he replaced the tyre after some warning/ fault sign. (excuse my lingo, or lack of)

At least with Conti 3 tyres u can still drive on them with a puncture. And tyre sensors don't always work the ones on my bimmer went of every time there was frost and didn't go of when I'd a flat. I had Conti 3 on it and drove on flat 4 a day :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just have a "inflate Tyre warning" on my RCZ last week. It shows that my front driver side tyre was inflated. I took a look, seems fine. I off and restart my car, still having warning.

I thought the sensor is faulty...hmm...no good.

Then I went to Petrol station to pump up the tyres, all four. Front 260psi, back 250psi. Yes, lots of air went into the front tyres, and back as well. From eye view all seems fine, but when you try pump in air, you will then notice that the pressure inside has actually went very low.

Good feature on the tyre pressure sensor I would say, first time I have this on my car. :thumbup:
