The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Tyre pressures and tyre temperatures are two crucial aspects of vehicle safety and performance, yet they are often overlooked by many drivers.
A tyre with low pressure and increased temperature leads to reduced fuel efficiency, decreased handling, and an increased risk of accidents.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) help you stay informed about tyre pressure and temperature levels.
Davies Craig says its TyreGuard 400 TPMS is a very economical product which can prove to be an excellent investment in both a financial and safety perspective.

What is TPMS?
TPMS is a unique electronic safety system designed to continuously monitor both air pressure and temperature inside a vehicle’s tyres.
The system alerts the driver should any tyre be underinflated or indeed lose pressure, which could lead to potential safety hazards.
TPMS plays a vital role in promoting road safety and prolonging tyre life by ensuring proper tyre inflation and temperature.
Davies Craig’s TyreGuard 400 TPMS uses individual valve mounted pressure sensors mounted on each tyre to directly measure tyre pressure and temperature.
Each sensor sends real-time data to the compact TyreGuard Monitor located in the vehicle’s driving compartment, which then displays the information on the led screen for the driver’s convenience.
The TPMS provides accurate pressure and temperature readings and can detect a gradual pressure loss.

Davies Craig TyreGuard 400 TPMS System key features and benefits:
• Enhanced safety: correctly inflated tyres are essential for optimal vehicle handling and braking performance. TPMS alerts the driver when tyre pressure drops significantly, helping to avoid potential accidents caused by underinflated tyres.
• Fuel efficiency: maintaining the correct tyre pressure improves fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance. With TPMS, drivers can easily ensure their tyres are appropriately inflated, thus saving fuel and money in the long run.
• Extended tyre life: overinflated or underinflated tyres wear prematurely and unevenly. TPMS keeps tyre pressure in check, leading to longer lasting and safer tyres.
• Environmental impact: a well-maintained vehicle with proper tyre pressures emits fewer greenhouse gases and reduces its carbon footprint. TPMS indirectly contributes to a greener environment.
• Real-time monitoring: the TyreGuard 400 Monitor provides drivers with immediate feedback on their individual tyre pressures, allowing one to take prompt action and avoid potential tyre-related issues.
• Easy to use: once installed, the Davies Craig TyreGuard 400 TPMS is hassle-free. It automatically monitors tyre pressure and temperature, eliminating the need for manual checks.
• Cost savings: by maintaining proper tyre pressure, TPMS helps save money on fuel, tyre replacements, and vehicle maintenance.

TPMS maintenance tips:

1. Regularly inspect tyres: despite having a Davies Craig TyreGuard 400 TPMS, it is essential to inspect your tyres visually at regular intervals for any damage to tyre walls or other abnormalities.
2. Respond to alerts: never ignore a TPMS warning light or alarm. If the system detects low tyre pressure or high temperature, act promptly to either inflate or repair the affected tyre(s) as required.
3. Replace faulty sensors: TPMS sensors can fail over time due to battery depletion or other issues. If a Sensor malfunctions, replace the battery or unscrew the sensor and replace it.

A vital safety feature
Davies Craig summarises that its TyreGuard 400 Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a vital safety feature that helps drivers maintain correct tyre pressure and stay safe on the roads.
By alerting you to potential tyre issues in real-time, Davies Craig says TyreGuard 400 TPMS ensures optimal vehicle performance, improved fuel efficiency, and longer tyre life.
It states that embracing this technology and following regular maintenance guidelines will not only save money but also make our roads safer and the environment cleaner for everyone.
