It’s time for the tire pressure sign to come on your car dashboard

It’s that time of the year. You start your engine in the morning and one of your dashboard lights pops up. It’s the exclamation point – or, technically, it’s the tire pressure sign – and it often lights up with the change in weather. It’s one of those annoying items you must keep up in life, along with dental appointments and paying your bills.

Get to know your car better:

• AAA offers this handy guide about checking tire pressure, along with other information about your car. We also recommend joining a roadside assistance program, and AAA is one of the best.
