- As temperatures fluctuate from chilly nights to warm days, its important to regularly check tire pressure rather than relying solely on the TPMS light, which alerts drivers when tire pressure is already too low.
- Other fall seasonal hazards include wet roads and slippery debris, such as wet leaves on the roadway.
- Check your tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge and ensure the pressure in each tire including your spare matches the ideal tire pressure for your vehicle, which is listed on the sticker inside your car door, glove box or fuel door, or in the cars manual.
