A warning tone also sounds.
GWARNING
Tire pressures that are too low pose the following hazards:
Rthey may burst, especially as the load and vehicle speed increase.
Rthey may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which may greatlyimpair tire traction.
Rthe driving characteristics, as well as steering and braking, maybe greatly impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
XStop the vehicle without making any sudden steering or brakingmaneuvers. Pay attention to the traffic conditions as you do so.
XSecure the vehicle against rolling away (Ypage 145).
XCheck the tires and, if necessary, follow the instructions for a flattire (Ypage 287).
