My light came on once. I added a little air to all 4 tires since none seemed to read below 35 psi. The light went off after I got on the road a short distance.

yep nitrogen is over rated...they work better than regular air for tracked cars as temperatures can go up quite a bit, but for street cars, just use air. keep adding about 2psi extra until you're at winter temp.

As previously indicated you have to drive a short distance to reset the light, usually less than a mile. The light will come on at 29 psi from experience.

You set the 35 on cold tires not the coldest night Should only go up 2 or 3 psi on normal driving. For track you have to start below 30 in order to stay below 40.

How do you know it's over 40? It's almost impossible to generate tire heat in 35-40 degree weather.

My Mazda will go off at 40 too, but the rec. pressure on it is 32 all around.

Im pretty sure one would need to be considerably higher psi than 40psi to get the light. |
