Make sure to check and monitor the tyre pressure especially before a long journey. 

What is tyre pressure monitoring?

Tyre pressure monitoring is a system which monitors and checks the air pressure in a vehicle’s tyres. All tyres have a prescribed correct pressure limit. When the air pressure drops more than 25 percent from the correct pressure limit, the driver gets a warning indicator to alert such a change by lighting up on the dashboard. In this situation, one has to restore the tyre pressure to the correct level.   The signs that often flash on the dashboard could be either a cross-section of a tyre with an exclamation mark in the center or a top-view graphic image of a car which shows which tyres are low.

How does one choose the rebuild kit? There are mainly two types of rebuild kits that are available in the market. One is with rubber valve stems and another one is with metal valve stems. To choose the appropriate one, you need to see if your existing valve system is build of rubber or metal material. Thus,a rebuild kit is rubber, one will need the rubber rebuild kit. Likewise, if it is metal, the metal one is used.

If a vehicle does not have such a facility beforehand then it can be installed. It is important to continuously maintain and monitor the tyre pressure as over time, components tend to degrade which affectsthe sensor operation. Replacement of parts may also be required. Additional sensors can also be put on alternate tyres.
