It is important that you monitor your tires to ensure they stay at the proper tire pressure recommended by the manufacturer. Tires that are below the recommended level can wear out prematurely, and due to overheating, they are more susceptible to damage. They also do not handle as well, and they can decrease your fuel economy. Fortunately for drivers in the Mehlville area, Hyundai has made checking tire pressure quite simple. The service center at Suntrup Hyundai South has the details.
Depending on which Hyundai model you drive, the recommended Hyundai tire pressure will be somewhere between 32 and 36 PSI. Remember, always consult your owner’s manual, or check the chart in your door frame, for exact specifications.
Your vehicle is smartly equipped with Hyundai TPMS, a tire pressure monitoring system that keeps tabs on the exact pressure in each tire. As soon as you start up your vehicle, the system begins evaluating the tires’ levels, displaying their measurements on your dash within a few minutes. If any of your tires are in need of air, the system will give you an alert and tell you how much air is needed. If a tire flashes red, it is a signal that the tire needs attention.
If you have just filled your tires to the proper psi but your system is still alerting you to an issue, it’s possible a service professional may need to perform a Hyundai TPMS reset. At Suntrup Hyundai South, we can take care of that for you. We want you to get back on the roads of Afton as soon as possible.
Keep in mind that tires with low pressure can put more strain on your wheels, which can cause issues such as a preventable accident or more extensive repairs. That is why it is important to follow the tire care tips below.
To keep your vehicle running smoothly for as long as possible, routine maintenance is a must. Suntrup Hyundai South would be glad to help you with all of your automotive service needs. Contact us today for more information or to set up an appointment.
