1 ) Keep driving straight ahead while gradually reducing speed .
2 ) Slowly pull off the road to a safe place .
3 ) Check the pressure for all four tires and adjust the pressure to the COLD tire pressure shown on the tire inflation pressure label on the door pillar on the driver ’ s side .
If this light still illuminates while driving after adjusting the tire pressure , a tire may have significant damage and a fast leak that causes the tire to lose air rapidly . If you have a flat tire , refer to “ Flat Tires ” FP429 .
