Once the Monitor is programmed, it retains all programmed settings. Turning off the vehicle or removing power from the Monitor will NOT delete settings.
When a Sensor is installed, it records the tire pressure at the time of installation as its BASELINE pressure setting. If you remove and reinstall a Sensor while the tires are warm, the Sensor will record the elevated WARM pressure when reinstalled, as its new BASELINE pressure from which to trigger an alert. When the tires cool, the pressure could fall enough to cause an alert. If possible, wait to reinstall the Sensor until the tire is cold and at the manufacturer specified cold pressure.
Cold temperatures and high altitudes reduce tire pressures. If a tire is close to its low pressure, an alert can be sounded when the pressure drops overnight due to the cooler temperatures. To correct this problem, inflate the tire to its manufacturer specified pressure in the morning while the tires are still cold, and reinstall the Sensor. (Make sure Sensor is off of the stem for at least 60 seconds.)
A visual inspection of tires on a regular basis is recommended. PressurePro™ does not PREVENT low tire pressure – but it can alert if tire pressure becomes low, allowing corrective action to be taken. A damaged Sensor or valve stem can cause pressure loss. Inspect regularly. If repeated faults are observed, discontinue use of the system and contact your dealer/distributor.
PressurePro™ cannot prevent tire/wheel overload. Overloading any tire is EXTREMELY dangerous and can cause failure of ANY SUSPENSION COMPONENT, not just tires! The ONLY way to detect overloading is to weigh the vehicle! A vehicle should NEVER be operated if the weight on ANY wheel is greater than the design specifications! Even a correctly inflated tire can fail if overloaded!
If you are carrying a heavy load on your vehicle, whether on the full vehicle or a single side, tire pressures should be adjusted upwardly, appropriate to the load.
Tires can fail for other reasons besides low pressure or overloading. Always be on the alert for any OTHER tire problems as indicated by unusual noises, vibration, uneven tread wear, or bulges on the tire! If any of these symptoms occur, have the tires checked IMMEDIATELY by a professional!
