2022 Ford Escape SEL – Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in Penticton

The 2022 Ford Escape SEL comes with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The tire pressure monitoring system monitors the pressure in your tires and alerts you when there is an unexpected drop in tire pressure. If you drive with too little or too much tire pressure, the tires may wear prematurely or cause a vehicle handling problem. Under-inflated tires can also reduce a vehicle’s fuel economy.
The system is designed to warn you if the tire pressure is significantly low and then display a warning icon in the instrument cluster when it is time to check them. When a tire becomes significantly low on air, the vehicle’s TPMS will illuminate an indicator light on the instrument panel to alert you that a tire is under-inflated. The TPMS will also sound a warning tone for about one minute. To help avoid injury from an explosive rupture of an under-inflated tire, this tone will be repeated at periodic intervals until the tire is inflated to its proper pressure level.
This feature is only intended as an early warning system; it does not replace regular inspections of your tires by visually checking their condition and air pressure as often as possible, as described in your owner’s manual.
