Many drivers  fail to connect an icon to their dashboard that could save lives. Most people say they are aware of the importance of keeping their tires properly inflated. Many do not know, however, of the availability of a dashboard icon that could alert them to this problem.

There are 245 million cars, SUV’s and trucks on the road. Ninety-five percent of drivers consider vehicle safety a top priority. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) goes unnoticed and often unrecognized by many drivers.

This warning system can save lives. It can indicate the deflation of one or more tires.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration estimates 200,000 accidents, 660 deaths, and 33,000 injuries yearly could be caused by this problem as well as the waste of millions of gallons of gas.

An online resource, TPMSMadeSimple.com is available for the education of the consumer.

If your TPMS icon lights up,

  • check your tire pressure
  • if on the highway, pull over to the side of the road and check your tire pressure
  • go to a gas station to have your tire pressure checked or repaired.
