DOMESTIC FAQ
-
Can I replace the batteries in the sensors?
No, the sensors are sealed to be water and dust proof. Creek crossings, sea water, dust are no challenge for the PressurePro sensors
-
Does TyreSafe Australia provide support?
Yes, phone or email your query on your PressurePro product & we will respond, we take pride in our service!
-
How does the PressurePro TPMS work?
A sensor sits on the valve stem & transmits the tyre pressure back to the monitor inside the vehicle, a display shows the pressures with audio alarms for low and high pressure alerts
-
How long do the batteries last?
Battery life depends on the amount of work, for RV use 5 years is not uncommon, longer has been known, shorter is also known, simply replace the complete sensor
-
I get a high pressure reading from one trailer tyre, what’s wrong?
This could be a wheel bearing or brake binding, stop in a safe place and check the hub temperature, if it's hot seek professional mechanical attention
-
I have changed a tyre, how do I ensure the system knows I’ve changed tyres?
Simply remove the sensor from the flat tyre and put it onto the replacement tyre, the system will read as normal
-
If I take my car onto the beach & air down will the PressurePro adjust itself?
Yes with the sensor removed from the tyre for 60 seconds with the monitor powered up the reference pressure will adjust automatically to get alerts at the same levels. References pressures can be changed on the monitor or with a menu selection. Pressures can be set to register after airing down/up. We’re flexible for your preferences.
-
What is wrong with running tyres at low pressures?
Not only will you jeopardise your safety but you’ll wear the tyre out faster and use more fuel!
-
What pressures should I run in my tyres?
Always refer to your vehicle manufacturers specifications, never run a tyre at lower than specified pressures on a public road
-
What’s the warranty for PressurePro?
12 months unconditional, if it’s not right we replace it
-
When I rotate my tyres how does the PressurePro system know?
Simply remove the PressurePro sensor from the original tyre and replace it back onto the tyre going onto that wheel position, this will keep the same settings
-
When should I check my tyres?
For setting inflation pressures always check when the tyre is cold, preferably early morning before use or with very little use, i.e. < 5 minutes running
-
Why is TPMS important to me?
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPMS) monitors your tyres inflation pressures in real time, it alerts you before a tyre reaches a hazardous level either going flat or overheating
-
Will my tyre pressure vary when I drive?
Yes, when the tyre operates it will increase in pressure. Tyre manufacturers recommend no more than 10 - 15% above your cold inflation setting
